Since the1990s, with China’s rapid social and economic development,urbanization process is heating up the construction of new urban areas, the Town CenterArea as the core space of the entire Area has become the focus of urban design. Urbandesign in nearly20years of the development process, the theory and practice to thesubstantial progress, especially in a large number of practice activities for this studyprovides the first material. Place to create a core concept of urban design, quality andstandards of its spatial form is the key factor. Town Center Area Urban Design Casestudy to resolve the characteristics of its spatial form and type of space for urban designto create a positive theoretical and practical significance.Firstly, the characteristics of the development of Metro and the central area ofurban design development status reviewed. Followed by analysis of the body and thecomposition of urban space, urban spatial form, the structure of urban space and urbanspace images. Summarized and then today’s domestic and international urban designresearch methods to focus on research methods and urban space that corresponds to thecorresponding part of the analysis of urban space that each research method, inductiveanalysis of the case analysis of the urban design of this article frame. The ultimate useof this analytical framework selected ten New Town Center District, Urban Design Casespatial resolution, and thus developed the characteristics of each case in the variousaspects of urban space and pattern comparison summary.Finally, from the macro level of the city layout pattern of the Town Center Area abrief summary of the axis type, radiation type, group type and freestyle four categories of urban space structure model, summarizes the different modes of spatialcharacteristics, advantages and disadvantages and scope of application. And the use of atypology of research methods, and from the meso level summarizes the common typesof the plaza space and street space in the urban space in the Town Center Area in China.Further use of the results of the analysis in the case analysis, the Town Center Areaurban design practices to shape the space and future trend of the Town Center AreaUrban Design.
