Abstract

River plays an important role in the formation, origin and development of the city. Regarding the world famous city, there is always a famous river accompanying it and it is the common choice of human being to build a city near the river. Before the modern times, the city and the city river were in harmony. After the industrial revolution, the process of urbanization was accelerated, the rapid expansion of urban areas, urban land area was a geometric growth, and the city is constantly changing the natural landscape. At the same time, human beings intensified the usages and development of rivers, causing the obvious change of rivers' function in the city and the ability of fighting flood is declining. Once the torrential rain came constantly, in many cities a large area of water will come into being. River pollution and the ecological environment are also increasingly degraded, affecting people's daily life. With the progress of the times, people began to reconsider the relationship between the city and the river and pay more and more attention to the issue of the city. At this stage, the basic idea of dealing with urban river is to ensure the basic functions of flood control, water supply safety and other basic functions, after which people can be concerned about the river ecological restoration and waterfront landscape construction and development.
