The theory of urban space has become the focus of academic research.This paper is to study the urban space development in Changsha based on the theory of space syntax. Unlike the traditional methods of qualitative analysis, it is a new, rational and quantifiable expression and analysis of urban space. This paper selects the four closely related variables in space syntax theory as well as urban space structure and space form:integration, local integration, connectivity and space intelligence degree. It divides the city space by constructing the axis of the map as well as analyzes integration and space intelligence degree of urban space from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Through the study on axis map between two different periods 2003 and 2009 in Changsha, this paper analyzes the relationship between self-organization elements (development potential within this city) and he-organization elements (changes of the external environment and intervention of the program), summing up the trend of space development, and putting forward the focuses and strategies of urban space development in central city of Changsha. It provides a decision supporting for achieving the sustainable development of urban space and comes up with a new perspective of thinking for revising a new round of the overall plan in Changsha, as well as offers references for future urban development, planning management and decision-making.
