Features: Since ancient times, humans have continuously created their living spaces. From the earliest primitive settlements to the culmination of human spatial construction in cities, humans have integrated their advanced technology, culture, and ideological concepts into urban development, creating ideal living environments. Over thousands of years, the construction, development, and evolution of urban spaces not only reflect the achievements of human spatial environmental construction but also embody human cultural thought and artistic concepts, serving as a comprehensive testament to the progress of human civilization. The ancient Chinese urban spaces and their construction philosophies profoundly reflect the characteristics of Chinese culture. The independent development that has been carried forward for millennia has given the art of ancient Chinese urban construction distinct features of Eastern culture, with its brilliant achievements attracting global attention. This volume focuses on introducing the valuable heritage of ancient Chinese cities in terms of their overall layout, key urban buildings, street and market spaces, and defense systems.
