| With the economic globalization and the rapid development of cities in western China,Chongqing,as the only municipality directly under the Central Government in the central and western regions,is being built into an inland open highland,providing new opportunities for the development of the urban waterfront.The waterfront area of the two rivers is not only the place with the deepest accumulation of urban history and culture,but also an important area to show the city style.Historically,Chongqing waterfront,as an important place of urban life,carries the main functions of wharf and shipping,while affecting the economic lifeline of the city,which is a vibrant urban space.At present,the waterfront area in central Chongqing is occupied by urban transportation and real estate development.Waterfront land resources are scarce,public space is even more lacking,people’s waterfront activity space is limited,and the vitality is insufficient,which directly affects the quality of the city and the living quality of urban residents.The quality of life and the social value of the waterfront have not been revealed.With the increasing demand of the public for improving the urban environment,extensive urbanization construction has been gradually abandoned,and the waterfront space quality has been paid more and more attention,and the urban vitality has increasingly become an important influencing factor of social development.How to improve the vitality of waterfront space is an urgent problem to be solved in urban development.In this context,the author has the honor to participate in the project of improving the governance of both sides of Jialing River in the central urban area of Chongqing,and grasp this opportunity to learn and think and explore ways and methods to solve the problem.In this paper,from the perspective of urban space vitality,the status quo of Jialing River waterfront public space is investigated,and the relevant theories and case practice of urban vitality construction at home and abroad are used for reference,so as to solve the problem of insufficient vitality of waterfront space.Regarding the urban space vitality,this paper investigates the current situation of Jialing River waterfront public space,draws on relevant theories and case practices of urban vitality construction at home and abroad,and strives to solve the current problem of insufficient vitality of waterfront space.The overall structure of the paper is organized based on the logic of "theoretical research—proposing problems—analyzing problems—solving problems—practical application".The first part(Chapter 1)is theoretical research.Serving as the basic research of the paper,this part provides a basic explanation of the research background,related concepts,significance,and purpose of this paper.Through reading a large quantity of cases and literature,the research trends and achievements related to the waterfront space landscape design under the guidance of domestic and foreign waterfront space planning and design concept and vitality are summarized,and the three elements of "vitality" are clarified.On this basis,the entry point of the paper writing,as well as the object,method,and framework of the paper research have been determined,to lay a theoretical foundation for the follow-up research of the paper.The second part(Chapter 2)is proposing problems.First of all,this paper,comprehensively review the historical evolution of Chongqing development along the Yangtze River and the construction and development of the two rivers and four banks in the central city;then,the status survey conducted an overall grasp of the waterfront space on both sides of the Jialing River at 394 km in the central city,and then conducted a key survey on both sides of the urban landscape section studied in this article.,To sort out and summarize from the level of land use planning,built environment and citizen needs.Finally,the paper focuses on the lack of vitality of waterfront space of Jialing River: first,the construction of waterfront space lacks integrity,and waterfront activities are limited.Secondly,the attraction of waterfront space itself is not enough,resulting in the number of people staying and time being too small.Third,waterfront public space cannot meet the diverse needs and activities,resulting in low utilization rate of built-up space.The third part(Chapter 3)is the analysis of the problem.This chapter dissects the core issues of the research object from two aspects of urban vitality concept and case analysis.Guided by the vitality construction,this paper analyzes the deep-seated relationship of the elements of vitality(subject,object,and media)in the specific waterfront space environment,and understands its significance for waterfront landscape planning and design.From the dimensions of urban development,population and behavior,space and ecological environment,this paper points out the influencing factors of the planning and design of the Jialing River waterfront landscape in the central city of Chongqing that is oriented by vitality creation.Finally,this paper selects three typical renewal waterfront space cases which have strong relevance to this paper,and analyzes their problems and specific corresponding strategies in order to explore specific solutions.The fourth part(Chapter 4)is to solve the problem,which is the core of this paper.In order to enhance the vitality,,the four dimensions of vitality influencing factors and the Jialing River waterfront landscape elements are coupled to study,and then specific landscape design strategies are proposed: under the urban development dimension,it is proposed to strengthen the connection between the riverside and the hinterland to gather urban landscape resources,Form the complementarity with the hinterland land use function,improve the riverside public transportation system,and show the geographical charm of mountain cities;in the dimensions of human behavior,it is proposed to maintain open space boundaries,optimize slow riverside trails,and ensure full-time activity types and functions Facilities,setting up diversified service facilities,and humanistic care design that meets the characteristics of use;proposed in the dimension of space and place,creating a complex and diverse waterfront activity space,conforming to the landscape level of dynamic water level characteristics,and optimizing the detailed design of public space;in the dimension of ecological environment Next,we propose a sustainable design that follows the natural rhythm of the river and optimizes the riverside landscape plants.The fifth part(Chapter 5)is the case practice.Taking the landscape planning and design of Jiangbeizui-Gaojia Garden Bridge on the north bank of the Jialing River in the central city of Chongqing as an example to provide case support for this paper.In the specific landscape planning and design project,the optimization strategy proposed above is applied in practice.The fifth part(Chapter 5)is to Summarize the research results of the article and its limitations and deficiencies,and then play a guiding significance for the Chongqing Two Rivers and Four Banks practice project,and provide reference for subsequent related research. |
