Abstract:

Some Chinese city centers have abundant green spaces but lack humanization scale and pedestrian activity place. There are lots of green axis which are open spaces combined with unban axis in city centers, but their scales, compositions and definitions are not clear. Based on statistical analysis, field investigation and comparison of 33 green axis samples, this study focuses on compact green axis which is a special open space type under compact development and bicycle & pedestrian friendly planning ideas. It finds the typical scales of compact green axis, including the typical width close to comparison space scale and small block side scale, the typical length close to the pedestrian zone and TOD unit diameter, and the bicycle and  pedestrian friendly edge composition features, which are “moderate fusion” feature of the streetscape edge and “retail function shared” feature at the edge. Compact green axis is suitable for city center with narrow and dense road networks, and priority of bicycle and pedestrian.
