在現(xiàn)代交通系統(tǒng)的支撐下，高鐵站點及其周邊不再是單一的交通集散空間，而是整合交通、商業(yè)、商務(wù)、文化娛樂、會展、信息服務(wù)的城市新型功能混合區(qū)，并成為新的社會經(jīng)濟與文化交流中心，是重構(gòu)城市空間結(jié)構(gòu)與展現(xiàn)城市空間特色的重要機遇。一方面，站城地區(qū)作為城市重大工程項目，具有塑造新時期城市空間骨架的觸媒作用。然而，目前已經(jīng)存在的大量新城建設(shè)、不斷涌現(xiàn)的各種綜合服務(wù)中心、老城中心的更新與復(fù)蘇等，如何協(xié)同它們之間的平衡發(fā)展關(guān)系成為站點地區(qū)開發(fā)的難題。另一方面，站城地區(qū)作為與其他城市聯(lián)系的門戶，擔負著展示城市空間特色的窗口作用。但以往的規(guī)劃設(shè)計一味地追求站房的雄偉和標志性，追求廣場或軸線的氣派，缺乏地域和地方的特點，既造成了投資上的浪費，還給旅客的出行帶來了不便，如何協(xié)調(diào)站點地區(qū)與其他地區(qū)的尺度、風(fēng)貌、交通等空間關(guān)系也應(yīng)受到重視。

With the support of the modern transportation system, the high-speed railway station and its surroundings are no longer a single traffic distribution space, but a new urban mixed functional area integrating traffic, commerce, business, culture, entertainment, exhibition and information services, and has become a new social, economic and cultural exchange centre, which is an important opportunity to reconstruct the urban spatial structure and show the urban spatial characteristics.

On the one hand, the station area, as a major urban engineering project, has the catalytic role of shaping the urban spatial structure in the new era.However, how to coordinate the balanced developing relationship between the existing large number of new city construction, the emergence of various comprehensive service centres, and the renewal and recovery of the old city centre has become a complex problem in the development of station areas.On the other hand, as a gateway to connect with other cities, the station area serves as a window to display the characteristics of urban space.However, the previous planning and design blindly pursued the majestic and iconic station buildings,the style of the square or the axis, lacking regional and local characteristics, which not only caused a waste of investment, but also brought inconvenience to the travel of passengers.How to coordinate the spatial relationship between the station area and other areas should also be paid attention to.

The space gene research provides a new way to solve the above problems.Space gene researches based on city scale can integrate and coordinate the station area and other areas at the overall level of the city, and sort out the overall spatial order of the city.Space gene researches based on block scale can organically integrate the local spatial combination model with the spatial elements such as comprehensive transportation hub station buildings, commercial plots, distribution squares, and landscape axes, so as to strengthen the control and guidance of scale and style, and create the core area of local hub with both image and function, thus to achieve the win-win situation between station area and the city's overall space.The following are examples of Nanjing Railway Station, Nanjing South Railway Station and Suzhou Railway Station as examples.□
