Abstract
Since Chinese American geographer Yi-Fu Tuan introduced the concept of “place” to human geography, the research on “place” and “sense of place” has become popular in geography. From the perspective of urban culture, this paper categorized and analyzed the components of sense of place in Guangzhou, and took Canton Tower, Shamian Island, Cantonese, and Guangzhou Evergrande as four examples. This paper further discussed the influence of concrete elements and abstract elements on sense of place, and explored how to build a contemporary sense of place in Guangzhou with place theory under global historical background in order to promote the healthy, sustainable and harmonious development.
