China has now entered a phase of rapid growth of urbanization, with the continuous emergences of new economies and technologies backgrounded by economic globalization and global urbanization.Specifically, the focus of city construction has been shifted from center towns to new towns contributable to the development of Chinese reform and opening-up as well as economic and social development in every respect. A type of New Industrial-Precursor City (NIPC), staged as an areal type featuring industrial development and various industrial parks, is transformed from those economic development zones, industrial parks built in the1980s. Different from other new towns in seting, purpose and function, NIPC exposes series of distinctions such as non-equilibrium, uncertainty and politicalness.Being a new economic growth in the metropolitan areas and significant impulse of regional urbanization experiencing decades of reform and opening-up, NIPC promotes itself in China’s economic growth, industrial development and social constructions, gradually been reckoned as one of the unique patterns of urbanization with Chinese characteristics.Organisms compose the living world, inevitably fated with germination, evolvement and declination. As opposite to mechanical growth, the definition of Organic Growth (OG) that growth nurtured both by internal and external factors sheds lights on city growth with quality-, sustainable developments. This thesis effectively utilizes laws deposited from organic growth in life world to solve problems encountered in new town planning and designing. From OG’s perspective, rather than damaging long-term development, NIPCs should manipulate city function and spatial development wisely, subsequently such ensuring factors as orderly expansion, ecological optimization, function diversity interlacedly, so as to achieve the state of OG.Xiangxiang Industrial Park, Hunan province, as the pilot of of Two Types of Society construction and demonstrative zone, should be unequivocally guided by OG theories, stressing:planning initiating and spatial expansion; decomposing and coordination; functional compositing and smart constructing; ecological harmony and sustainable development, all of which organically transform industrial parks into new towns. |
