Abstract

People have been exploring the perfect layout of a city since the birth of the first human settlement, it is not only a matter of aesthetics, but a complex and delicate subject. In modern cities, multiple city planning models have been proposed and experimented by city-planners, since an effective model can help the government to manage the flow of people, money and resources. In recent years, the concept of a 15-minute city has gained more and more popularity, while another hot topic is the linear city, both of them are supported by scholars, hoping that they may solve some of today’s urban problems like inequality and pollution. This article considers the two models from four different aspects, namely environment, health, wealth and growth potential, comparative analysis is carried out to measure each model’s ability, evaluation of the feasibility of each model in practice is also made. Finally, a suggestion regarding how to support the implementation of the two models is made, a direction for further supportive research is also provided.
