"Chengdu can learn from London, take the construction of basic groups as the strategy, and take groups as the breakthrough point to improve the quality of the city." Chen Keshi, vice president of the school of urban planning and design of Peking University, believes that the city is a spatial structure composed of countless basic groups such as streets and buildings, and Chengdu is a typical multi center group city. Each group should be optimized as a basic unit, improve the plot ratio, increase green space and public space, and create high-quality pedestrian streets and urban parks.


Professor Chen also proposed to "build Chengdu into a model of an idyllic city", "take urban humanism as an important concept of Chengdu urban planning", "Chengdu should give priority to the development of natural landscape and cultural landscape", "Chengdu can implement the strategy of creating local good", "the urban construction of Chengdu should pay attention to cultural factors" "We should pay attention to creating an 'urban living room'" and "establish an urban planning expert advisory committee and establish a perfect chief designer responsibility system" and other seven suggestions.
