紧凑城市理念及其在中国城市规划中的应用

紧凑城市是针对城市无序蔓延发展而提出来的城市可持续发展理念。紧凑城市的形态取决于城市中人口和建筑的密度，强调土地混合使用和密集开发的策略，主张人们居住在更靠近工作地点和日常生活所必须的服务设施的地方，是一种基于土地资源高效利用和城市精致发展的新思维，具体体现在三个方面：功能紧凑、规模紧凑和结构紧凑。在中国，紧凑城市理念在城市规划中的应用主要体现在节约和集约利用土地资源、集中布局城市功能要素、加强城市空间增长管理、促进城市土地的高密度、混合利用、加强城市规划管理等。

Concept of Compact City and its Application in Chinese Urban Planning

Compact City is an idea of urban sustainability, which was a proposed strategy against uncontrolled urban sprawl. This is a new perspective derived from efficient utilization of land resources and finely tuned urban development. Thus the form of compact city is determined by the densities of urban population and built fabric. This concept advocates the strategies of mixed use of land and its collective development, and encourages people to live closer to their working places and places with necessary daily services and supplies. Compactness in the concept of Compact City is about function, scale and structure. In China, the application of this concept was primarily in several aspects: intensive use of land, centralized configuration of urban functions, enhancement of management of urban growth, promotion of mix and intensive utilization of urban land, and strengthening of urban planning management.
