As a new type of industry, cultural creative industries have met the pursuit of creative life and cultural consumption, brought unlimited possibilities for the change of city life. In the aftermath of the violent transformation and destruction of numerous old buildings as well as the traditional context in1990s, China’s urban renewal came to a rational thinking. Learning from advanced urban renewal concept and practice of foreign cities, a batch of pilot cultural creative industries parks have been built by the background of old town transformation. A boom led to the construction of cultural creative industries parks, such construction practice gradually matured. But our research on such relevant theories started slow, and mostly limited in the aspect of introducing theories or practices abroad. At the same time, international studies on such districts are also more concentrated in the range of geography and construction-related fields, relatively seldom on landscape and public space level.This research studies on cultural creative industries districts those not only impact by urban renewal but also impact back on urban renewal and the development of area. Planning and construction of these districts plays a very positive role in the promotion of urban renewal, the continuation of urban cultural context and improvement of urban landscape images. This paper innovatively connected the landscape construction of cultural creative industries districts with urban renewal issues, proposing that landscape of cultural creative industries parks should not only meet the basic functions of industries parks, but also take the responsibility initiatively to show good aspects of urban renewal as a model. The significance of cultural creative industries districts for urban culture and characteristics’ inheritance and propagation should be considered in the landscape planning and design process.After an adequate study on domestic and foreign correlation theory, this paper proposed a definition of cultural creative industries and cultural creative industrial districts. And from the angle of landscape form, a new classification of cultural creative industries districts came up, the relationship between these areas’landscape and urban renewal, the public space form and the cultural connotation were studied, too. Through relevant theory and sufficient on-the-spot investigation, author analyzed general domestic problems of cultural creative industries districts during their landscape planning, then put forward some corresponding strategies on these issues refering to correlation theories and actual cases. In this paper, not only general principles, methods and program content of cultural creative industrial districts’ landscape planning in urban renewal context were put forward, but also some design tips of outdoor flexible spaces and gray spaces in these parks were summarized. Finally, through the analysis of a typical case-Guangzhou TIT Creative Park, the theoretical system of landscape planning and design of cultural creative industries districts has been verified. This research is expected to provide a suitable theoretical guidance for China’s cultural creative industries parks’ landscape construction under the background of urban renewal. |
