This book explores the role of public spaces in Chinese people-oriented eco-city development, focusing on its contribution to creating sustainable and liveable urban environment. As green urbanization gradually progresses in China, the public space has become essential in enhancing quality of life, fostering community connections as well as facilitating people's interactions with nature. Through typical qualitative analysis, this book examines how public spaces promote community engagement and provide essential public services in the eco-city. Key themes include humanistic planning and social sustainability. This work will be of particular interest to scholars, policy makers, urban planners, offering valuable insights into both humanistic and ecological considerations in the eco-city development.
