Urban Greenway Thematic Map Design Based on Spatial Narratives:A Case Study of the East Lake Greenway in Wuhan
During the continuous advancement of ecological civilization,how to represent the urban greenway and the un-derlying cultural features through the special carrier of the "map-text" dual structure has become a new frontier in carto-graphic studies. In reference to the principles of spatial narra-tives,we first conceptualize urban greenway as a spatial text with a multi-layered structure consisting of vocabulary,sen-tence,paragraph and chapter. Then,we determine the themes of greenway thematic map through linking the struc-ture of readable text and that of greenway. Finally,we use the case of the East Lake Greenway in Wuhan to demonstrate how to perform the symbol,color,layout and binding design,in order to provide references for urban greenway thematic map design.
