Abstract: Abstract The growing of CO2 emission is a very serious threat to the global ecological environment. How to control the carbon emission is a great concern in the world. Economic structure reshaping and development in technology are playing important role in the process. Researches also show that urban spatial structure has a lock in effect on CO2 emission and sustainable urban development. Most cities in China are undertaking spatial restructuring now. How to plan a more sustainable spatial structure is worthy of study. In this paper, we analyze the methodology of urban planning formulation at region, city and street block level. And several arguments on urban land use-transport, density control and mixture of land use have been discussed towards low carbon urban spatial strategy.
