Research On Beijing Waterfront Greenway Slow Area Planning And Design

In facing of issues like environmental pollution, urban vitality weakened and characteristic missing, which were caused by rapidly urbanization and vehicle population growth, the dissertation proposes combining waterfront greenway and slow system to exert their environmental and social benefits more effectivly. In China’s current rapid urbanization, major cities are carrying out a remarkable pace of infrastructures’construction.

Home and abroad have carried out a more in-depth theoretical study about both the waterfront greenway and the slow space, and accumulated practical experience of more mature, however, for waterfront greenway slow area, the combination of both, is the lack of a theoretical and practical research. Therefore, based on existing theory and practice, the dissertation takes Beijing Yingchengjiandu waterfront greenway, which is the first to introduce the conception of slow space, as a typical case. Through the user’s physiological and psychological needs analysis, propose the goal of the construction of urban waterfront green slow space. And based on this, the dissertation established the key element of the construction of urban waterfront green slow space. Then combining with cases of outstanding foreign experience of enlightenment as well as Beijing typical slow waterfront greenway analysis of spatial planning practices to explore Beijing waterfront greenway slow space planning and design principles and strategies in multiple dimensions of urban planning and landscape planning and design. From the slow network organization, configuration of slow facility and slow landscape three facilities to make reference and guidance for the practice of urban waterfront slow area practice in Beijing.
