On The Research Of Building And Developing "Double Easy" City

Accompanied by the ups and downs of New China in the past 60 years, our urban planning has also gone through twists and turns in 60 years, and increasingly highlighted its important strategic position. With the rapid development of our economy and society and continuous growth of urban scale, people raised higher demands for urban planning. Up to now, China's urbanization rate is only equivalent to about half of those of the developed countries. Confronted by a series of outstanding problems of urban planning and urban construction, We must reform and innovate the traditional model of urban planning, that's to say, we need to guide urban planning by sustainable development theory to correct the mistaken working approach so that our urban planning can catch up with times.In addition, based on the concept of sustainable development, our government has made a scientific development concept, which is consistence with the development trend of the times and will become the guiding ideology of urban planning."Double Easy" city, is a new urban planning concept idea with the characteristics of "easy living" and "easily identifiable", which integrates the theory of sustainable development, and follows the essence of scientific development. Easy living (affordable housing) of a city reflects the difficulty degree of its residents to reach a certain level of living and constitutes the intrinsic foundation of easy recognition; besides, easy recognition emphasizes how to mold the city's own vivid characteristic to people inside and outside the city to help the viewers to develop their perceptions and self-identity to the city. Nanyang is one of the key cities in middle China, climate and natural environment of which is maintained well and has always been populated areas, should take advantage of the opportunity of quick urbanisation to bear more functions to absorb the population, develop itself into a regional metropolis, therefore, it is appropriate to build an "easy living" city. At the same time, it can be built into an "easy recognition" city since it enjoys strategic location, rich history and strong culture, and can take the opportunity of economic restructuring to enhance the city's soft power to promote the city's low-carbon economy. Accordingly, this dissertation will take Nanyang as an example to analyse the problems in the process of building "Double Easy" cities to find effective solutions to a number of bottlenecks in the urban construction and urban development in the effective.In the Dissertation, Firstly, we'll start from the theoretical basis to study urban planning in China and its history to sum up the general rules of urban development and to analyse its fundamental contents, features and functions by combining with the new urban planning and management concepts, such as ecological cities and sustainable development, propose to develop "Double Easy" by integrating with the scientific development concept. Secondly, we work out a series of criteria of building "Double Easy" cities, then we collect the materials, including the specific situation of Nanyang City, location advantages, the development situation and other relevant information to find out a series of achievements and existing problems in the development process of Nanyang City. Finally, we use the relevant evaluation criteria to identify the solutions to the problems and suggest feasible strategies to help Nanyang reach the goal of "Double Easy" city standards.
