Network Evolution Guides the Natural Construction of Urban Spatial Characteristics:Taking Three Cities in Anhui Province as Examples
Neo-Marxist urban scholars argue that in the process of rapid urbanization,the essence of urban spatial development lies in"spatial production",where the built environment serves as an investment object.Within this context,natural space is considered the most optimal object for spatial production.However,under capitalist operations,it becomes fragmented and encroached upon,gradually losing its public attribute of serving the public.To address this issue,this article proposes employing a networked urban ecological space system as a"spatial tool"to safeguard the characteristics of urban space.By transcending historical limitations and adopting a larger spatiotemporal dimension for rational thinking and scientific construction methods,we aim to explore cities'long-term"natural memory"and ecological adaptability based on tracing their historical changes.Through an active strategy of network evo-lution and natural construction methods,our approach relies on the interactive succession between ecological self-organization and spatial self-organization to construct a networked ecological space system composed of multiple ecological spatial elements.This system actively intervenes in shaping the form and structure of urban spaces by adapting to different types of cities within Anhui Province such as mountainous cities(e.g.,Ningguo),hilly cities(e.g.,Huainan),plain cities(e.g.,Huaibei),etc.Furthermore,this article investigates a spatial growth method that involves transforming non-construction land into well-structured construction land.This approach guides the optimization of overall urban form and patterns within an ecological environment.
