Cities, are the crystallization of human culture and the elite of human civilization, which should have various view. Although the society develops rapidly, cities are gradually becoming similar. As the basic unit of the city, blocks have less and less feature. To pursuit huge economic benefits, characteristics in the material and the spirit aspects of blocks are missing. In the current circumstances, how to protect, develop and revitalize the characteristics of urban blocks, and transmit the characteristics of the context, is the most important task of urban planning.First of all,we need to establish a classification system of characteristics blocks. In macro aspect, conception and controlling requirements are proposed, including prescription of the extent, definition of characteristic, adjustment to the functions and social life,and proposal of the operator schema. In medium aspect, it is the site plan according to specific objects,including improvement of the space, buildings and the environment, and supported by the necessary transport planning and municipal engineering planning. In micro aspect, Renovation program is concluded,including construction details, and environmental design.The revitalization of characteristic urban blocks is a comprehensive and systematic project. It includes two aspects of renewal on the material and economic revitalization, and has all detailed aspects of strategy, design, construction, implementation, and management. We take Granville Island, Baltimore Inner Harbor, as well as 798 Arts District are typical examples Through comparative study, the feasibility of the program on development model of characteristics urban block can be used for reference in the future work.The revitalization of urban characteristics block is another upsurge of urban development and also another highlight of society and culture. In this era of globalization, a city's character is the card to the whole world, and then urban characteristic block is one of the most brilliant of the card.
