Understanding of scientific theories of human settlements 1

Mr. Wu Liangyong proposed the scientific theory of human settlements in the 20th century, broadening the horizons of architecture and urban planning.

It proposed based on the background of the development of the times, theoretical innovation and the needs of social development. In its theoretical development understanding, it absorbed Western theories and systems.

Early Western urban planning theories mostly focused on understanding cities and urban design from the perspective of architects, while urban planning during the Soviet aid construction period focused on "material planning" or "physical planning."

On the one hand, existing theories are full of novel ideas and new ideas, but they often lack systematicity; on the other hand, they are dogmatic and conceptual.

During the early construction of New China, we continued to accumulate experience based on actual conditions.

Urban planning theory has received attention in modern times. The attitude towards existing theories is that on the one hand, it cannot be completely denied, but must be summarized and improved; on the other hand, it is necessary to see the process of solving problems that continue to arise in the history of urban development, to face up to problems, and to explore

Advance and develop towards multi-disciplinary development to gradually form a complete system.

In modern urban history, representative ideological theories and practices have emerged.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Howard published "Tomorrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform". His ideological goal was to conduct a comprehensive design of the environment, advocate "social cities", and treat the transformation of cities and villages as a unified issue.

.

In practice, two new towns were built, Letchworth and Welwyn.

Based on the "social spirit", we began to comprehensively promote the improvement of the living environment.

Geddes advocated the concept of comprehensive planning and published "The Evolution of Cities", which used philosophical, sociological and biological perspectives to explain the biological and social complexity of cities in the development of space and practice, and pointed out that in planning, different

Departments and jobs should be considered together.

He views the environment as a composite of multiple elements and as the setting for a variety of human activities at different locations; he introduces the multiple connections and integrations between place and employment, and their continuing influence on the evolution of settlements.

.

Advocate the "regional concept", emphasize the use of natural areas as the basic framework of planning, pay attention to urban dense areas, and bring cities and villages into the field of vision.

We attach great importance to investigation and research, believe that cities should be diagnosed first and then treated, and put forward systematic investigation ideas.

Propose the concept of organic planning and "life schema".

Mumford emphasized human-centeredness and proposed far-reaching regional and natural views.

He believes that technology and humanities are unified, and emphasizes that Enlei should build a better tomorrow from the perspective of its own existence and development, paying attention to human needs and human scale.

Discuss regional planning, advocate regional holism in dense urban areas, and propose the importance of preserving the natural environment and the proximity of leisure venues.

None of the above has formed a comprehensive and operable scientific framework.

Dausadias's theory of human settlement inspired Mr. Wu Liangyong to make a breakthrough in understanding, that is, to extend the concept of architecture from a house to the concept of settlement.

Naturally integrate architecture and city.

"Settlement theory" is the basic theory, which eventually leads to "generalized architecture".

The theoretical characteristics of Dausadias are mainly concentrated in the following three aspects: First, the understanding of the times and the tasks it faces.

Through the Soul Crystal Crisis, he saw the comprehensive role of urbanization in national development and the fact that cities were exploding, triggering him to establish "human settlement science."

Second, consider the overall and systemic view of the problem.

The human settlement environment should be regarded as a whole and considered as a "complete object".

Third, in architecture and urban science, the early conscious use of interdisciplinary perspectives and the introduction of multidisciplinary theoretical methods were used to engage in urban research.

Fourth, a theoretical framework is initially established.
