Abstract:

At present, the expansion of Chinese cities in a sprawl way in the current rapid construction process has caused the lack of humanized quality in the new urban central space environment. The huge development scale and rapid construction process of the new urban central areas lead to the prominent “isolation” phenomenon, mainly reflected in the isolation of the block and the isolation of life. In the face of those problems, guiding the future urban spatial environment to develop in the direction of compactness has become one of the important concerns of urban design. It aims to promote the transition of cities from the expansive development of serving rapid economic growth to the quality construction of social, economic, cultural and other comprehensive benefits by creating a dense urban space environment that can carry a greater density of social, economic and cultural activities and realize the continuous cycle and symbiosis of multiple activity flows. Therefore, the paper put forward the idea of creating humanized urban space through urban design based on compact blocks. Then, taking the construction of compact blocks of urban central district as the starting point, and through the analysis of some design projects, it discussed some strategies of the urban design on the construction of human-oriented, walkable and vigorous compact block environment in the central district. The strategies are as follows: making the structure compact so that the new central area of the city can maintain a block-pattern in a walkable and suitable scale; making the texture compact so that small-scale blocks can construct block space carriers with more humanized quality; and making the functions compact so as to provide people with a variety of choices to use block space and convenient space experience, etc. By doing so, it aims to shape a compact central district block environment that is people-oriented, walkable and full of vitality, in order to realize the ultimate goal of urban design to improve the quality of space environment and provide people with a colorful and humanized urban lifestyle.
