ABSTRACT

摘要

Superblock is a concept of urban form at street network level, which refers to the form of large-scale community surrounded by main arterial roads of city, containing numbers of internal community streets. The superblock is an inevitable outcome of meeting the needs of differential transportation in the process of modern urban development.

超级街区是街道网络层面上的一种城市形态概念，它是指由城市主干道围合而成的大型社区形态，包含大量的内部社区道路。超级街区是现代城市发展过程中满足差异化交通需求的必然产物。

The city can be regarded as a collection of multiple adjacent superblocks. In this paper, the space syntax betweenness of urban network is used to identify the main roads at urban and regional scales, the main roads and their effective linear extension sections are used as super grids to identify the superblocks in research area.

城市可以被看作是多个相邻的超级街区的集合。本文利用城市网络中间性的空间句法来识别主客观城市和区域范围内的道路，主要道路及其有效的线性延伸段被使用作为超级网格来识别研究区的超级街区。

A total of 163 superblocks of Shenzhen are divided and identified. Then we use urban POI data and the Step Depth parameters to analyse the configurational and functional characteristics of the superblock layouts, in combination with streetscape photos to study the relationship between the spatial-functional characteristics and the street vitality and quality.

深圳共有163个超级街区被划分和识别。然后我们利用城市POI数据和步深参数，分析超级街区布局的形态特征和功能特征，结合街景照片，研究空间功能特征与街道活力和品质的关系。

The research results show that according to the characteristics of the road network configuration and POI distribution, the superblocks can be divided into three types: inward-oriented, decentralized, and outward-oriented.

研究结果表明，根据路网结构和POI分布特征，超街区可分为内向型、分散型和外向型三种类型。

The inward-oriented and outward-oriented are not well balanced in the relationship between street vitality and street quality. The decentralized superblocks not only have a better interface between different scales of urban movements, but also achieve a better balance between street vitality and street quality.

在街道活力与街道质量的关系中，内向型与外向型并不平衡。分散化的超级街区不仅在不同规模的城市变迁之间有更好的衔接，而且在街道活力和街道质量之间实现了更好的平衡。

The research on superblock in Shenzhen reveals the broad features and trends of the urban form of the mega-city in modern China from the aspect of structure and function. It has important reference meaning in creating interactive interface, supporting diversified patterns and enhancing the vitality of superblocks in different city scales.

对深圳市超级街区的研究，从结构和功能的角度揭示了近代中国特大城市形态的总体特征和发展趋势。对于创造互动界面，支持多种业态，增强不同城市规模的超级街区活力，具有重要的借鉴意义。
