This paper aims to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework for urban greening of Beijing Province ・・・・・ an urban greening plan ・・・ to achieve long-term sustainability.
At the regional level, a big natural and semi-natural forest area in the northwest and an ecological buffer belt in the southeast are planned to protect the environmental quality of Beijing and provide habitats for wildlife.
At the city level, a green network system of green wedges, parks and green corridors has been proposed.
At the neighborhood level, green extensions and connections of riverside greenway, road greenway, parks and vertical greening permeate into the built-up areas..

Green space planning in the development of a city in chinahas been thought as a important process after European and American influence
Environmental and ecological city concept is a typical exampleand master plans have been prepared for every city in which“Spot-Linear-Spatial” concept was a fundamental principle
Planning theory to allocate green wedges in large city is amain trend today, and it is obvious to do in Mega Cities

Well,the most important practical problem of Network Theory is
to connect a certain object with something
What, how it is, where it is, when it is connected ?
This is a practical problem of connectivity

Two approaches of Connectivity
1: Bio-physical approach
2: Cultural and design approach
ex: river front design by urban planner ・ access from down town・ connection with visual and conceptual river Green way, parks, river side spots
例:Baffalo Bayou Master Plan land connectivity urban connectivity with spatial network social connectivity

At all these different scales, connectivity “may be defined as the ease with which organisms, matter or energy traverse the ecotones between adjacent ecological units” [2]. By this definition, the highest degree of landscape and habitat connectivity in a riparian system would be achieved by periodic flooding alternating with dry periods. Such a pattern would share nutrients among aquatic and terrestrial habitats and create transition zones that would favor a diverse array of amphibious species and wetland plants.
Defining connectivity—biophysical approaches

Defining connectivity— cultural and design approaches
For urban planners concerned with riverfronts, the main issues are making the river accessible to people from the most densely used or occupied parts of the city (pedestrian paths and bridges, transit linkages),
Yoritaka Tashiro/2010, August 11
linking the river visually and conceptually to the city (greenways, parks, attractive riverfront destinations, integrated design elements, vista points, identifiable images and logos), and providing social and cultural attractions along the riverfront. ・・・for land connectivity, for urban connectivity through space networks and centers, and social connectivity through lively and interactive gathering places, both built and natural”

famous urban riverfronts of the world, such as those in Amsterdam, St. Petersburg or San Antonio, Texas.
From the ecological perspective, these are poor models, being entirely artificial constructions based on channelized riverbeds, in which the hydrology and ecology of the original river have been altered to suit the economic and aesthetic values of the city. When ecological connections are made in these places, the context is usually negative, as with the floods and outbreaks of water-borne diseases in St. Petersburg and the annual need to drain the “river” in San Antonio to dredge out the mud.

• Furthermore, as the authors of the definitive report on “Ecological Riverfront Design” from the advocacy organization American Rivers point out, each urban river is a unique place with a unique conjunction of ecological and cultural demands, and models from one city do not readily adapt to another [12].

TOWARDS A GREEN STRATEGY FOR LONDON
STRATEGIC OPEN SPACE AND GREEN CHAINSSummary of a report by Tom Turner to the London Planning Advisory Committee, May 1991
Yoritaka Tashiro/2010, August 20
Fig. 3. The first planned open spaces in London were the residential squares, as represented by Diagram A. The 1944 Abercrombie plan recommended a park system (Diagram B). The Greater London Development Plan proposed a hierarchy of parks of different sizes (Diagram C). The present proposal is that urban squares, public parks and riverside walks should be interconnected to form a green web, by means of civic walks, green chain walks, pedestrian streets and countryside walks (Diagram D). (Diagrams reproduced from Turner, T., Landscape Planning, (1987) by courtesy of Hutchinson Education).
Fig. 4. London could have a network of Ecological Corridors. They would be based on parks, cemeteries, woods, hedgerows, the River Thames and its tributaries, canals, railways and other lines of opportunity, and would be accessible to the public only in part.

The existing pattern of long-distance walkways could be extended to create a Greenspace Web for pedestrians
The London Cycling Campaign has proposed a 1,000 mile Strategic Cycle Route Network for London.

Green chains can be linked to pedestrianised shopping streets, business malls and shopping malls, so that they become environmental improvement corridors and spread their influence throughout the city.

The reason why differences like this appear is only one
Compact building is possible in a local city where market-mechanism is out of question
Green space and open space is properly managed in the community
Residential pattern with population density of 75/ha
Which is the most sustainable one?
Which is to be chosen/
This will make the green pattern and its existence.
