Abstract
The framework described in Chap. 7 is also applied in the official planning workshop of Xiong’an New Area. As the establishment of the Xiong’an New Area is a major historic and strategic choice for China, its spatial planning is the fundamental guideline for its development. This chapter introduces the work we have done in this workshop, which aims to provide a quantitative case study of urban density for the development of urban design standards for Xiong’an New Area. This chapter emphasizes on various densities of different urban functions, in which 30 cases with four urban functions are selected and spatial indicators including the road density, average block scale, building density, FAR (floor area ratio), and average number of floors are calculated. These characteristics are abstracted as spatial form modes in an urban “gene bank.” The result in this research provides a rational and scientific support for the generation of urban form in Xiong’an New Area urban design project.
