Practical Significance Of Pedestrianization Design Strategy In The Construction Of City’s Central Area In China

City center is a symbol of the city. It represents the culture of a city and theeconomic level. And it is a continuation of history and culture of city. The city centeris the comprehensive reflection of city spirit. It is people’s comprehensive dance inpublic life and is a kind of important culture resources. It is highly significant to thewhole city.Based on the symbolic role played by the city center, each city are lookingforward to building the highest intensity of land use during the constructing of citycenter with adequate infrastructures, perfect transportation system and the mostimproved and well-organized regions. But faced with the reality of the modern citystate, along with the people’s material living standards improvement, cars are nolonger luxuries but necessary means of transport for the families. But transportationsystems and infrastructure do not match. Vulnerabilities in traffic specificationgradually appear and people ignore the traffic standards generally. As a result, urbanspace is filled with surging crowd sound of car horns sound, and the air is filled withcar exhaust. And more, personal safety is threatened while people’s activity spacedecreases. This state is particularly prominent in the city center. Pedestrinizationstrategy is proposed to solve this problem in order to build pedestrian space in the citycenter and create more space for people’s living and better city center environment.In this paper, thought train of pedestrinization development and designtechniques in western countries’ cities are referenced in order to achieve the purposeof pedestrinization in China. According to China’s actual situation, taking thepedestrian system in current center of the city in China as the research object, focuson the current situation of pedestrinization in city center and highlighted issues in thecity center during the urban renewal such as the large flow of people in central area,serious traffic congestion during rush hours, lacking of infrastructure, imperfect roadconstruction, lacking service consciousness and other issues.This paper presents related solving strategies to the problems analyzed above,especially different design for different situations. And in the design, the importantlink of pedestrian is highlighted. In this paper, four aspects of pedestrinizationstrategy are proposed, thus the concept of pedestrian space, technology of pedestrianspace, requirements of pedestrian space design, design strategy of pedestrian. The issues would be systematic through many angles of consideration and proposedstrategies.The author hopes this research can provide a reference both in theory andpractice of the pedestrianization strategy in constructing city’s central area in China...
