Current Situation and Countermeasures of Chinese Street Furniture Design in Intelligent Development Context

Abstract

This paper first explains the concept and classification of “urban furniture”, analyzes the current situation of Chinese urban furniture and concludes that Chinese traditional urban furniture has been abandoned because it doesn’t suit needs of the times. Combined with the recent discussions and reports of the Chinese government meeting, based on the new era of “achieving urban intelligent management”, it is concluded that in the process of building “smart city”, urban furniture development will enter the “intelligent” trend. Combined with the concept of intelligent products, examples of smart city furniture in developed countries such as the United States and Singapore are presented. Finally, it is concluded that the development of urban furniture design in the context of intelligent development should consider the product, service and system layers of urban furniture products.
