中文摘要：

在系统分析和总结了中国城市设计理论和实践在新千年的发展特点和动向后认为，中国城市设计除了吸收国际间城市设计的成功经验外，已经发展为具有自身特点的城市设计专业内涵和社会实践方式，这就是城市设计与法定城市规划体系的多层次、多向度和多方式的结合和融贯。基于新千年中国城市设计实践发展和实际案例。论文凝炼出当下中国城市设计实践的四大趋势：概念『生_城市设计、基于明确的未来城市结构调整和完善目标的城市设计、城镇历史遗产保护和社区活力营造、基于生态优先理念的绿色城市设计。最后指出：城市设计既不简单是城市规划一部分，也不是扩大的建筑设计；城市设计致力于营造“精致、雅致、宜居、乐居”的城市：城市设计致力于构建历史、今天和未来具有合理时空梯度的环境。同时，城市设计应该注重个胜化的城市特色空间和形态营造，让城市环境有自下而上的成长机会；注重人的感知和体验、创造具有宜人尺度的优雅场所环境；以后还应关注“平凡建筑”与“伟岸建筑”、大众共享的“日常生活空间”与表达集体意志的“宏大叙事场景”的等量齐观。

英文摘要：

This paper systematically analyzes and summarizes the development of Chinese urban design theories and practices in the new millennium. While absorbing successful international experiences, contemporary Chinese urban design has also developed its own languages that exhibite multi-layered, multi-dimensioned and multi-modal integration of urban design and statutory plans. Based on Chi- nese urban design practices in the new millennium, this paper discerns four trends in contemporary Chinese urban design, namely conceptual urban design, design for urban structural adjustment, historic-preservation-based urban design, and eeo-oriented urban design. The paper concludes that urban design is not merely a part of urban planning, nor is it an enlarged architectural design. Instead, urban design aims to create delicate, elegant, habitable, livable, and enjoyable urban spaces that are sensitive to temporal concerns. In addition, urban design should also stress the creation of unique urban spaces and forms, promote endogenous growth opportunities and care for human perceptions, experience and scale. Finally, urban design must pay attention to both ordinary and signature buildings and integrate spaces of both everyday life and grand urban narratives.
