Analysis of the Environmental Factors in Sustainable Residential Area Planning in China

Abstract:

Determination of the overall spatial form of a residential area, which includes aspects such as building arrangement and site planning, is the primary step of residential area planning, and an important factor of formation of characteristics of the residential area. This paper analyzes the environmental factors that influence the spatial form of residential areas in sustainable residential area planning in China. The factors discussed involve aspects of the original eco-resources, building arrangement, greenery system, landscape and open space in the residential area. Through a comprehensive analysis of the factors presented above, the formation of the overall spatial form of residential areas can be effectively guided.
