Comprehensive Urban Design of Pudong New Area:Elements,Scale,and Control Strategies
In response to concerns over the recent expansion of the scope and con-tent of urban design and the potential for"loss of focus",this study uses the com-prehensive urban design of Pudong New Area as a case study,emphasizing a need to"refocus"urban design efforts.It traces the spatial evolution of Pudong New Area under national strategic guidance,addressing two primary issues from a"strategy-problem"perspective.Building on the link between municipal urban design and district-level master planning,the study proposes a key element system that inte-grates"significance,publicness,cultural relevance,and connectivity"and a control strategy based on unit typology and policy-guided zoning.By establishing a clear and concise district-level control framework focused on"element+scale",the study aims to enhance Pudong's modern spatial image and its holistic spatial order,rein-forcing Pudong's role as a"leading area for socialist modernization".
