The study highlights the

evolution of Beijing in terms of

its functional and spatial

patterns.

It revealed that the city followed

some rules of growth, which

was reflected in the morphology

of its grid, manifested y the

syntactical analysis of the

contemporary settlements.

it also showed that its old cityha retained its significance as a

focal point of the city

Dis#ussion



The grid inside the inner city is

part of the e!tensive integration

core of the whole city.

"aving een uilt around the

old city, the ring roads have

een evolved gradually as

important a!es of the whole city.

#nlike other historical cities

Beijing retains its historical core

as its main functional core.

It is associated strongly with

natural movement
