# Sustainable Planning and Design of Ocean City Spatial Forms Based on Space Syntax
## 8 Conclusions  
SS is a theory and method that investigates physical space and the spatial composition of human cognition by quantitatively describing the spatial structure of human settlements. It highlights the study of space as an independent factor and the correlation between space and architecture, space and society, and space and human cognition. In this study, based on the SS theory, we measured the sustainability of Shenzhen's urban spatial form, analyzed and compared Shenzhen's spatial forms, and drew the following conclusions. Relying on its regional advantage, Shenzhen gathered some high-quality marine enterprises in the early stage of development. It had some scale merits in traditional industries, such as marine transportation, marine oil and gas, and coastal tourism, and strong innovation ability in emerging industries, such as marine electronic information, marine engineering equipment, and marine biology. However, Shenzhen also had distinct \"short slabs\" in terms of its marine resources and environment. From the perspective of resource conditions, Shenzhen had scarce marine resources, coastal resources, and island resources. The development space of its marine industry was limited to a large extent. It was difficult for the emerging marine industry to form agglomeration strength. Furthermore, in terms of the conditions of the marine environment, there were marked differences in environmental quality between the eastern and western waters of Shenzhen. Reinforcing the guidance on spatial planning; optimizing the spatial layout of the marine economy; and vigorously promoting the concentrated, agglomerative, and intensive development of the marine economy are important approaches for heightening the quality and efficiency of marine economic development in Shenzhen and improving Shenzhen's economy through sustainable spatial planning. Regarding the coordination degree between the marine economy and the development of resources and environment, there were remarkable differences between the sea areas. The ecological environment of the Pearl River Estuary was under great pressure and short-term recovery was challenging. The socioeconomic intensity of offshore land is expected to continue to grow. In the years to come, it is imperative to control the scale of reclamation, change traditional shoreline use, avoid non-intensive land use and ecological destruction, and promote the sustainable growth of the city. Shenzhen Bay is a densely populated area with high-end urban functions while also being an area experiencing great pressure in terms of ecological protection and sea environment management. In the future, it is necessary to optimize the marine economy and ecological environment concurrently, avoid non-intensive land use and ecological destruction, and promote the process of sustainable and smart urban growth. The marine ecological and environmental conditions in Dapeng Bay and Daya Bay are superior. For this reason, it is appropriate to adhere to the principle of ecological protection first and limit development; prudently plan and leverage coastal land resources; and develop coastal tourism and emerging marine industries with low pollution, low energy consumption, and high added value in a targeted way, to push forward the development of the marine ecological economy. According to the spatial development characteristics of Shenzhen Bay, development can proceed in terms of the following aspects. First, integrate the landscape resources of Shenzhen Bay, plan plants, build local habitats, connect and repair water systems, shape an open marine space, refine the landscape resistance zone, and build an open space system with sustainable planning in the park. Second, to relieve the development pressure in the downtown region, intensify the development of the public transport system and increase the connections between old and new urban road networks to form a smooth and sustainable road network.
