AN EVOLVEMENT MODEL FOR A METROPOLIS: a case study on the evolution of spatial and functional patterns of Beijing city

چکیده
The urban area of Beijing has sharply increased during the last decades. To better understand the mechanism and the nature of the metropolitan evolvement, this study explores and elucidates the evolution of spatial and functional patterns of Beijing, and investigates the relationship between urban spatial and functional patterns throughout this evolution process. In the thesis, spatial pattern is taken into account most, the morphology of urban network and the function pattern focused on land-use pattern. Syntactical analysis together with classical comparative methods will be used for a fundamental understanding of Beijing’s morphological evolution process. The syntactical analysis of the three phases of the metropolitan morphology, the 980s, the 1990s and the 2000s, will be conducted. By doing so, the essential changes in spatial characteristics of Beijing during its evolution will be revealed, and some valuable information about functional clusters of metropolitan area is derived. The analysis suggested syntactic difference during space evolution process may account for the different functional patterns. Moreover, certain transformations in metropolitan structure that occurred under the socialist regime are proven to have significant effects on the whole configuration of the system.
