Abstract

The rapid development of cities gave severe challenges to urban environment, the problem of how to rebuild the urban environment has never been as pressing as it is. Compared to the traditional urban construction theory, ecology pays more attention to scientific and technological means to make a systematic study and comprehensive improvement of urban problems, to harmonize urban residents and environment. The green natural environment and the distinctive humanism are not only basic factors of urban ecological environment, but also basic indexes to evaluate the quality of the urban ecological environment. Based on the principle, this paper puts forward some ideas, such as the limited resources in cities, equal sharing in resources, development of human potential, so as to solve the environmental dilemma in the process of urbanization, and to take the road of sustainable development.
