Abstract
As the country with largest population in the world, China’s urbanization is developing rapidly and large populations migrated to central cities, forming excessive passenger flows during specific periods (e.g. spring festival, summer holiday and golden week). During the leaping development of railway and rapid development of contemporary China’s urban construction, various urban material environmental, urban economical and urban social problems concerning traffic efficiency, city images, commercial development, estate development, house removal and public security were caused in surrounding areas of urban railway stations due to the excessive passenger flows caused by sharp increase of inter-city passenger flows and increasingly highlighted pressure on stations and their surrounding areas. For adapting to the passenger transportation demand in high-speed railway times and optimizing urban living environment, it is necessary to study how to increase use efficiency of urban space to the maximum extent and perfect urban functions when achieving the collective and distributive function of railway passenger transport. The urban planning and reasonability as well as high efficiency of urban design near the passenger stations not only can directly affect the prosperity and development of sub-centers, but also are related with the revival of old city center.
