Based on methodology and molde of low-carbon urban landscape, this dissertation did some researches on land use, street, urban form and open space to explore the relationship between urban landscape and carbon emission. Simulating the process of urban development to examinate the crisis in contemporary landscape, demonstrate the historical responsibility of landscape architect in the face of climate warming and analysis origins and solutions of greenhouse gas emissions.Firstly, to define the concept of a low-carbon landscape, between that of urban pattern and carbon dioxide emissions, is intrinsically linked. Low-carbon landscapes should be related to the various elements of the city; The greenhouse gas emittion and energy demand decided by the culture of city landscape as an organic whole. The density of land-use, the degree of mixing and the pattern of space influence the need, frequency and pattern of transportation. Thus influencing the transportation energy usage. The integrity and continuity of green open space influence the infiltrate functions and diversity of biological, so impact the carbon credit of vegetation. From the analysis of background of car-oriented transport indicate that the currently urban form will bring disastrous consequences. Unreasonable Urban pattern neglect the discipline of human activity. Highway and vehicles brought city into sprawl and longer distance to travel. The city should follow reasonable models to reduce car commuting and increase the mixed-use function of city.Based on the former concepts and frameworks, the dissertation applied to the actual project research from the aspects of land use, streets and public spaces. Combinated the great amount of survey data and models from sustainable laboratory in the University of British Columbia, demonstration mixed land use patterns, multi-function streets and open space are the significant principle of low-carbon city. In Chengyu trunk roads, the landscape of Jialing River case study, the quantitative methodology under the guidance of relatively low carbon emission of carbon content and status of emission of carbon, for the systematic understanding and create a carbon management and provide the basis for the test model. Combination of different population, transport and infrastructure to design the city as a low carbon machine. Administer varity street, building, infrastructure models for the parts, calculate carbon footprint in different forms of urban form, thereby determine the minimum carbon model urban form. Relevant theoretical framework and methodology for the development of urban areas with a low-carbon model reference.
