Abstract

With the increase in computational power and the emergence of a large number of digital data, the role of new methods and technologies in urban planning is becoming more and more important. The characteristics of the parametric design method determine its practicality and development potential in dealing with the planning and design of complex systems such as cities. Based on the concept and innovative ideas on urban planning, this paper adopts the methods of parametric technology to define the main measures and technological route. Also, based on the research methods of parametric technology, the platform of combining Rhino and Grasshopper can be used for the analysis on terrain elevation, contour, slope, sunshine and surface runoff. With this chance, this paper hopes to provide a rational and scientific aid for the implementation of urban planning at a later period.
