ABSTRACT

As the main area of greenhouse gas emission in China, the construction of "low-carbon city" is particularly important in the research and discussion of urban design methods. The concepts of low-carbon city and healthy life complement each other in the process of urban operation. The choice of low-carbon travel mode is based on the guiding effect of good space design on human behavior. In urban design, good pedestrian space design can lead to higher probability of pedestrian activities. Rapid urbanization has brought a noticeable impact on urban ecology and pedestrian environment, one of which is that pedestrian space is repeatedly sacrificed. Taking the old urban area of Kunming as an example, this paper makes a field investigation in three areas to explore the practical problems existing in pedestrian space in urban development, so as to seek solutions.
