The long-term natural agriculture economy was broken during the urbanization process, their habitat model therefore has also changed from traditional dispersed communities into "dismantling villages and setting up urban communities", which is the key field of theoretical research of current urban planning. This paper taking Hubin Community, the new "dismantling villages and setting up urban communities community" in the new zone of Wuhan, as the object of study, analyzes the changes of the peasants’ living spaces after "dismantling villages and setting up urban communities" by means of field research and statistical analysis method. And hoping this can offer references to the planning of relevant region.
