General urban design is targeted at the urban environment, which includes identifying the relationship between landscape elements and spatial structure, and guiding and controlling open spaces, architectural features, and important landscape areas and elements. By applying the general urban design results into planning practices, the unique townscape with local characteristics can be shaped gradually through effective guidance on urban spaces. This paper, based on the practice of general urban design in Qingpu New City, provides a systematic analysis on the general urban design from the perspectives of the structure of urban spaces, the landscape control of key areas, the design guidelines and elements, and so forth.
