Liu Guanzhong once proposed that addressing the living needs of China’s people and guiding healthy lifestyles is what defines beauty. Therefore, it is essential to implement urban planning and construction that highly aligns with the healthy development concepts and lifestyles of city dwellers, adhering to a people-oriented approach to ensure that China’s citizens possess material spaces for urban healthy spiritual lives. During his February 2018 inspection tour in Chengdu, the importance of highlighting the characteristics of park cities was emphasized by the Chinese official government while incorporating ecological values, marking the first official proposal of this concept. Over the past four years, numerous cities have actively explored park city planning and construction. As an integral part of Chengdu’s urban development, Tianfu Traditional Chinese Medicine City has received high-level attention from municipal authorities. Through proactive organization and in-depth research, the “Urban Design for the Science and Technology Innovation Center Area of Tianfu Traditional Chinese Medicine City” was successfully completed to high standards. This paper examines the urban design process, summarizes its implementation progress, and proposes practical suggestions for spatial planning and design that promote healthy lifestyles under the park city framework.
