The city is a people’s material dwelling house and a spiritual home. It is the center of economic, political and spiritual life. It is a combination of economy and politics, an accumulation of history and tradition, a crystallization of material and culture, a background of a certain age Under the political, economic, social, environmental and cultural combination of the spatial landscape, witness the progress of human civilization is the main driving force for social progress. Pan Shimei, a famous French scholar, pointed out: The city is not only a landscape, an economic space, a population density, but also a living center or a working center.
