Abstract

The urban and rural spatial form is the external form of urban-rural relations, and it is physical form in the process of urban and rural development within certain regions. In this paper, Kunshan city in Suzhou, Shunde District in Foshan, ShuangLiu County in Chengdu are selected as the cases study. The current characters, the development background and their trends of urban and rural spatial form are addressed for each area through the comparative study. The research shows that the three areas are all have the condition of dispersed of urban and rural spatial form, and the trend of the urban and rural spatial development will change from scattered, disorder, the opposition into centralized, orderly and fusion. The system innovation is the important means in reconstructing the urban and rural spatial form.
