Study on sustainable development thought in bionic urban design

摘要

In the paper, upon analysis on internal scientific mechanism of biology in conjunction with major examples of overseas bionic urban designs and their main characteristics and superiorities, application potential of bionic city design is discussed together with its significance for urban sustainable development and ecological construction. Three bionic urban design modes are put forward based on analogy to biological morphology, structure and function respectively with strategies proposed for urban ecological development of growth, flexibility and high efficiency.
