Analysis Of Urban Parks System And Explore Of Development Strategies In Beijing

Given the building of urban green space system (UGSS) and the rhetoric of 'the Urban Great Landscape' that people are discussing, this dissertation intends to study the current building of Beijing urban park system (UPS). Our social advancement, economic development, and the improvement of people's living standard, are indispensable for the development and change of the UPS. In the current process of development, Beijing UPS has been facing lots of problems, among which there is a fundamental contradiction between the rapid developed urban areas and the less developed UPS. In other words, urban green space cannot satisfy the demand for urban growth. Furthermore, this gap is being enlarged due to the imbalance of urban development. Specifically, this contradiction can be seen in different level of the urban park development, such as lack of connection between each other, inequality of distribution, all of which are waiting to be addressed. However, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, especially the implementation of the reform and open-up policy, by building a large amount of green space in Beijing, a good foundation has been laid for further improving current Beijing UPS, while concrete materials and evidences have also been provided for studying the redevelopment of Beijing urban park. Therefore, by focusing on examining Beijing UPS' current situation, and referring to new adjustments of UGSS planning for the coming Olympic Games, this dissertation would like to propose relevant strategies and suggestions for the development of Beijing UPS, with the hope that as well as improving UGSS planning, we can promote the building of park green space to form a better urban public environment.
