Aesthetic gene and prospect of garden city from the perspective of Chinese dream

Abstract

This study aims to delve into the impact of the Chinese Dream ideology on the development and aesthetic characteristics of park cities. Building upon their dialectical and unified relationship, it seeks to predict the evolutionary trajectory of urban modernization and methods to enhance residents' quality of life. Focusing on domestic cases of park city construction, the research employs innovative approaches such as on-site investigations, semi-structured interviews, and literature reviews. A distinctive contribution of this study is the introduction of the concept of "aesthetic genes," which is used to describe and interpret aesthetic elements and cultural features within park cities from five different perspectives. Furthermore, the research offers profound analyses from four distinct viewpoints regarding the future prospects of park city development in the new era. By organically integrating the Chinese Dream ideology with the concept of park cities, this study provides valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance in the fields of sustainable park city construction and urban aesthetics research.
