Abstract

With the transformation of urban beautification from rapid growth to high-quality urbanization and ecology, biodiversity has increasingly become an important indicator for assessing urban living environment. In recent years, with the concept of “green transformation” of cities, people begin to attach importance to incorporating biodiversity into the greening of urban public spaces, especially through planning and design strategies. However, many urban public space design strategies abandon the original idea of “harmonious coexistence” between human and nature, only become one-sided pursuit of benefits in scene construction emphasizing visual effects. In order to promote the green development of urban space, the purpose of this paper is to explore the potential solutions to the deterioration of urban public space environment and problems caused by unreasonable design, and to put forward a variety of new urban public space planning and design strategies which can be used as useful tools for planner based on the unique perspective of biodiversity.
