Abstract

Urban peninsulas are an important category with distinctive geographical characteristics in the history of human settlements. Despite their time-honored development, abundant cultural accumulation, and developed water transportation, a considerable number of world-famous urban peninsulas demonstrate a remarkable feature of high-density development because of their limited space for expansion. Based on the in-depth analysis of the connotation and features of urban peninsulas, this study summarizes five basic elements concerning the space of urban peninsulas, namely, capes, boundaries, networks, nodes, and cores. On the basis of these five elements, different high-density developmental modes of urban peninsulas are construed to provide a reference model for the location, density control, and urban structure of high-rise building clusters in peninsulas and further reveal the significance and value of high-rise buildings in shaping the special urban form of peninsulas.
