Abstract:
Spatial planning puts forward new requirements for shaping cityscape. How to
complete overall urban design or cityscape planning needs to be explored in methodology
in the context of the classification of full territory and total elements. Under this
perspective, landscape planning in Japan is worth studying because it is more in line with
the needs of spatial planning. Main characteristics of Japanese landscape planning include
two aspects: at the citywide scale, landscape planning breaks out of the inherent vision of
urban design to build a landscape planning system oriented to the whole region, forming
a regional spatial classification based on three types of urban, rural and ecological spaces;
at the landscape elements control scale, as landscape planning focuses on the construction
behavior of limited elements, the planning and management of landscape elements is
carried out. Landscape planning is not completely subordinate to urban planning or
urban design, but as an independent system, it is coordinated with spatial planning.
The experience of full territory coverage and selected elements management makes the
landscape planning in Japan more practical, which provides references for China.
