Ways of Creating Ecological and Livable Residential Environment

Abstract:

Along with the acceleration of China’s urbanization process and the steady growth of residents’ disposable income in recent two decades, the concept of “Livable Dwelling” has becoming more and more popular. Creating real livable residential environment needs the designers to work out measures to suit local conditions and not to advocate the theory of “Coping with shifting events by sticking to a fundamental principle or policy”. Based on the concepts of “People-oriented” and “Sustainable Development”, we should make great efforts in the aspects of improving the relationship between residential space and urban space, and improving the combination of internal residential space’s functions. This paper describes the ways of creating a livable residential environment from the following aspects: changing the single residential function mode; advocating diversified community modes; breaking the barriers of surrounding the residential area; building a harmonious community; using ecological energy-saving strategies; advocating low-carbon living mode; conducting people-oriented architectural design.
