| China is in the current period of rapid economic development, urbanization rate is close to 50%, in such a large background, how to shape the urban development with local characteristics of each city characteristics, city scenes, continuing the local historical context, To avoid the city's "thousands of the city side, "is one of the most popular academic discussion. At the same time, many cities have also commissioned to design units and research institutions, the preparation of urban characteristics, urban landscape planning, but it is in the preparation of academic or research units of urban characteristics, the understanding of the city there is a big difference in style. Meanwhile, city characteristics, city landscape is non-statutory level planning studies, so the results can vary the relevant planning.Faced with this situation, the paper first summarizes the sort of domestic and foreign experts and scholars city characteristics, city style awareness, on this basis that "urban characteristics (Urban characteristics) " refers to a city distinguished from the content and form Personality characteristics of other cities. Factors that determine the characteristics of the city including the urban natural factors and social factors are two aspects of the city. Urban Natural factors include natural factors and the intangible tangible natural factors. Social factors include the nature of urban cities, industrial structure, economic characteristics, traditional culture, folk customs, urban physical space. Constitute the urban characteristics of the interaction between the various subsystems, mutual influence, which together determine the characteristics of the city, and the city's physical space environment is the city features the most intuitive performance. "Urban style (Urban style) " refers to the historical and cultural city in different periods, natural features and the city's long-term livelihood of the people under the influence of physical environment of the formation of physical properties and characteristics of the invisible spirit. In the Chinese context, the style of the "wind"is"content ", is a city of social and human oriented summary of the non-material characteristics,but also to actively promote a spirit of the city; "appearance"is"explicit"is City and overall performance characteristics of the physical environment, constitute elements of the city as a whole and the sum of the shape and space, is the "wind" of the carrier. Tangible "appearance"and the invisible "wind", the two complement each other and form a unique combination of culture, spiritual orientation and the corresponding space vector cityscape.A clear urban characteristics, the concept of urban style, the article from the determinants, evaluation criteria, create goals, the study of other aspects of city characteristics, the relationship between urban landscape, draw the focus of their research. Proposed city is to create a physical space in the city features important aspect of shape; and for urban style, the substance of the space environment and create a landscape shaped by subject. Shaping the urban landscape is a space as a platform, on the positive features of urban space advocacy.On this basis, we propose the city characteristics, city landscape shaping their strategies. Urban Feature mainly from the spatial strategy and non-spatial strategy (including politics, economic strategies, social strategies of three parts) start. Shaping the cityscape, mainly from the spirit of space to create (including publicity means, both means of education) and physical space to create a start, create a physical space which is the main urban scene building, the paper by drawing on ecology "matrix, corridors, patch "theory, from the landscape orientation, the overall style of the structure, style sub-control, control of several key sections put forward a strategy to create a city of physical space.To further prove the theory of early research results, the article Linxia city of Gansu Province, for example, discusses the characteristics of Linxia city national city, urban style of shaping strategy. From the political, economic, social, physical space to create four areas, the question of how cities shape the characteristics of ethnic minority areas Linxia and urban style to the western minority areas of the city's characteristics and landscape to provide a reference for shaping. |
