Landscape Planning And Design In Inter-city Express Way

Inter-city Express Way is the product of the City Movement in the 20th century. With its rise, the developed traffic network is formed in the modern city. It includes the reconstruction of the existing old roads, and also the development in the new development zones. The ecological environment along the express way is destroyed. It influences the construction and the development of the city very much. Recently, the people's environmental awareness and aesthetic requirement is improving. The govement advocates the ecological city and garden city. Under this background, the series of the issues resulted in by the construction of the express way is brought to the attention of the society. So it puts forward higher requirements to the counstruction of the express way and the environment. Due to the restriction of lots of factors, the landscape planning in Inter-city express way is a new subject in China. There is no systematic theory and perfect standards. So the systematic discussion on the landscape planning and design in Inter-city express way is very necessary.This paper is based on the subjects such as landscape, ecology, aesthetics, environmental protection, traffic, etc. The means, such as on-the-spot investigation and consulting documents, are used. The regionalism, diversity, complexity and other factos of the environment during the express way construction are comprehensively considered. It discusses the landscape planning and design in Inter-city express way in the systematic level.First of all, this paper detailedly describes the express way landscape design related contents, such as Inter-city express way, its type and characteristic. It also describes the theories related to the landscape ecology, environment aesthetics, green design and so on. Then it concludes the fundamental properties of the Inter-city express way landscape, such as dynamic eyesight property, measurement property and dynamic measurement and puts forward the scientific design principle for the landscape planning. By learning the work of the city road landscape design, express way landscape design and railway landscape design, in the aspects of the landscape, ecological restoration and Inter-city culture mining, it concludes some concrete contents regarding the planning and design of the express way landscape, which includes the design of the landscape zone of the express way, the design of the landscape of the embankment slope, road landscape and the integration of the regional culture. As a result, it provides the practical theory basis for the planning and design of the landscape of the Inter-city express way. The paper takes the landscape design of the express way from Handan to Wuan as example. It concludes the deficiencies of the soluction, and proposes some improvement approaches. The purpose is to find a new method to make the planning and design for the landscape of the Inter-city express way. At last, it concludes the relationship between the realistic design and ideal design for the landscape of the Inter-city express way.Studies suggest that: in the planning and design for the landscape of the express way of the morden city, it can't only limit to the traffic function, but also pursues the higher and more comprehensive social benefits. The function, cluture, history and other factors should be considered together. So it is the trend that making the Inter-city express way to be a safe, comfortable, ecological and beautiful green gallery. The building of the Inter-city express way should be combined with the landscaping, ecological recovery and culture resource of the city. Meanwhile, it provides the theoretical reference for the applications and the further study of the planning and design for the landscape of the Inter-city express way.
