| Abstract | Chinese overall urban design faces a large number of problems such as the neglect of urban characteristics, generalization of content, and difficulty in implementation. Focusing on these issues, this paper proposes the main points of shaping urban characteristics in overall urban design: focuses on core problems in city function and scale, landscape pattern, historical culture, social resources and modern city style and digs the urban characteristic genes. Then, we put forward “core problem location and characteristic gene enhancement” as a kind of overall urban design technical method. Firstly, based on the main problems in urban space as a whole, for the operability goal, the method extracts the key genes and integrates into the multi-dimension system in a targeted manner. Secondly, hierarchical management and guidance system is established which may be in line with administrative management. Finally, by converting the results, action plan is drawn up that can be dynamically implemented. Based on the above idea and method, a practical exploration has been performed in the case of Xiangyang central city. Keywords—City characteristics, overall urban design, planning implementation, Xiangyang central city. I. URBAN CHARACTERISTICS DILEMMA IN CHINA A. Phenomenon: Crisis of Urban Characteristics RBAN characteristics refer to the individual features of a city that clearly distinguish its content and form from other cities.

A French philosopher named Paul Ricoeur, said in history and truth: “this is our mystery: how to become modern again and to return to our source; how to restore an ancient, dormant culture and participate in global civilization” [1]. Reasons for the loss of special features are related to the system, economy, society and culture, as well as multi-role competition of government, developers, public and planners. It is undeniable that the mistakes in planning and decision-making are one of the important reasons for the "same Guyue Zhu received a B.S. degree from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning in Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Hubei Municipal Engineering Technology Research Center, Luoyu Road 1037, Wuhan, China, in 2015, where she is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in urban planning.
