The new concept of "memory","urban memory","historical memory ","groupmemory "has come into being as a result. However, the study of "memory",especially "urban memory"has not been wholly and systematically organized yet. And because of the weak touch with urban construction,the study is not practical enough in project as well. As for the question what really urban memory really means, how to get the theory and method of urban memory involved in urban construction, and how to shape urban feature through urban memory, there is still a long way to go. Given all the above, in this paper, the author starts from studying memory itself and analyses the relational concept, intention and the feature of urban memory. According to the detail discussion on the concept, characteristic and constitution of the whole urban memory frame, the article puts forward the way of master design to build the whole urban space's frame, which can promote forming the characteristic of the whole urban space, guiding city design in low levels and strengthening the operation of the urban feature theories. By studying "urban memory", all that we should know is not only what urban memory really is, but also another way of getting knowing the city, and finally a better method to plan and build our city, to shape distinct feature of our city and obtain a high quality of living.
