Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper starting from the basic concept of green settlements to discuss the importance of natural ecological network to the development of green settlements; discuss the active role of green system and water system in the development of green settlements, and how to utilize it in urban planning and design; discuss land use patterns and the development pattern of street, also related to the land, air, water, plants and other natural environmental factors. Proposed that if a development model was adapted to obtain the harmonious coexistence of urban development and natural environment in the green residential development, we can obtain not only a good ecological benefits, but also get a good social and economic gains.
