Analysis on how to embody regional characteristics in the planning and design of urban commercial blocks —— Taking the design of commercial blocks of Qi 'ao Island Canyon Resort in Zhuhai as an example 1 Design status and existing problems of commercial blocks in China. As an important part of urban public space, urban commercial blocks are not only the unity of walking activities and commercial activities, but also the central place for people to communicate, communicate information and entertain. The rich and varied urban landscape and commercial culture are displayed here, which most intensively reflects the social and cultural atmosphere of the whole city. Its planning and construction has become an important means to improve urban functions and shape urban image. In the process of rapid internationalization and urbanization, the planning and design of urban commercial streets in China are facing a series of problems such as lack of characteristics, imitation, similarity and loss of regional characteristics. Any form of landscape composition has its specific geographical causes. In modern landscape design, simple formal imitation of takenism can only make the present city look bizarre, lacking or even losing its personality. Regionality is the origin and fundamental foothold of design. This principle is particularly prominent in today's urban commercial street planning and design, which is more important than simple style and form. The planning and design of urban commercial streets in China is still in the primary stage. When designing and developing most commercial streets, they only pay attention to economic benefits and commercial value, ignoring the study of their environmental adaptability and the overall design combined with the surrounding environment, thus failing to explore the deep meaning of "regional" design. So that the final commercial streets are the same, just like the products coming down from the workshop assembly line, which deviate from the local culture and their own characteristics.
