The modern urban residence and the traditional settlement serve people as a region where we live in compact community. The public space is an extension of the living space. But the inhabitants of the urban residence have a weak contact ideology than the members of the traditional settlement and their public intercourse are of less activity too. I try to compare the makeup of the spatial material and the spirit modality of the inhabitants of the traditional settlement and the modern urban residence and the psychology and behaviors of their social intercourse to analyze the two's similarities and differences to find out the reasons. The purpose is to find out why the inhabitants' public space can have a long life, and make the reason the basis of the design of the public space of the urban residence, also make a further search how to construct a comfortable and spry public space in the urban residence. I want to construct a space that is full of the sense of attachment and approval."The localization of modems architecture and the modernization of local architecture is a common approach to be shared by all in the progress toward and architectural proliferation." Beijing charter published in 1999 puts forward the viewpoint that we must put tradition in the development point and we should learn form it unobtrusively and impersonally. At the same time, innovation without any hesitation is also important.It is hoped that through this residential area of modern and traditional settlements public space and the specific analysis of comparative studies, exploring modern residential area of public space may be the way to development.
