Research on Urban and Rural Environmental Design and Redevelopment – a Case Study of Chengdu

Abstract

There is a term called “Heart Land” in the West, and the Midwestern United States is known as the heart of the US in the English-Chinese dictionary. As the saying goes, “The route into Sichuan is more daunting than climbing the blue sky.” Chengdu, as a major inland city in Southwest China, is located in the so-called “Heart Land.” In the design of architectural environment, it blends the old style with the new, the local features with the international, and the urban characteristics with the rural, showing that the city is exceptionally inclusive and diverse.
