Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of public spaces in understanding the relationship between people and their environment, particularly in the context of Chinese eco-cities. It emphasizes the importance of humanistic planning, which prioritizes people's well-being and the natural environment, to address challenges such as environmental degradation and social inequality. The research introduces a new-type conceptual model that integrates Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and the Design and Society Model, highlighting the evolution of design from functionality to desirability. It argues that to achieve sustainable urban development, eco-cities must satisfy a range of human needs, including subtle and unexpressed ones. The chapter also explores how people's behaviors manifest higher-level needs and how urban planning can influence these behaviors. By combining theories from ecology, humanistic planning, and environmental psychology, the research offers a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding and promoting people-oriented urban development.
