Research on Urban View Planning and Control:A Case Study of Hiroshima, Japan
Urban view, serving as an essential facet of urban character preservation and the crafting of distinctive contextual identities, plays a pivotal role within contemporary urban planning. Across the globe, numerous nations have embarked on extensive theoretical inquiries and practical endeavors pertaining to urban view, with China similarly undertaking valuable explorations. Nevertheless, a pressing need persists for the adoption of a more comprehensive, systematic, and constructive approach to urban view planning. Hiroshima city, located at the epicenter of the atomic bomb detonation during World War Ⅱ, has incrementally devised a relatively comprehensive urban view planning and control framework in the aftermath of post-war reconstruction. This development represents a departure from the constraints observed in European and American counterparts, particularly in terms of legal regulations, control methodologies, and operational implementations, thus forging a novel and distinctive perspective. Delving into the experiences and strategies employed by Hiroshima city in the realm of urban view planning and control within the Japanese context, elucidating its developmental backdrop, this research will place a significant emphasis on delineating the constructs of its systemic framework, preservation elements, and technical methodologies. Ultimately, the invaluable insights that can inform urban view practices in China are offered.
