Abstract: Planning of urban green space system based on green way theory is characterized by connectivity, network structures and comprehensiveness. Based on greenway theory and relevant experience, the author elaborates on the necessity of protecting and restoring ecological system and urban ecological networks. By conducting a case study of Yancheng city in Jiangsu Province, this article introduces the distribution features of urban green resources and proposes building green space in cities and countrysides based on greenways. Thanks to the linkage of greenways, a dynamic green space network could be set up by green space in different natures, shapes and sizes. Under new circumstances ,an integrated study of greenway planning and the planning of urban green space would be maximize the role of greenways in boosting urban-rural integration and a landscape-ecosystem-oriented development. It takes green ways as carriers but beyond the material forms, serving as the representation of society and culture. Therefore, the urban green space system planning moves to the planning from material one to the one combined with material and spirit.
