Eco-City: A Living Organism System

Abstract:

Eco-city was researched from the basic characteristics and compared with existence form of life in this article. An eco-city shall form a living organism system as a complex organization of green building working as the main ecological circle in human society and civilization, demonstrating its nature of life as well. This paper analyzed the human as the most important part of a city, with both material and spiritual leading properties, elaborated that eco-city was similar to organism in the field of structure and composition, operation and control, development and evolution. It is concluded that human is the core energy and power of urban development in modern civilization.
