Abstract
The morphology of urban green infrastructure (UGI) will affect the quality of urban environment and the way people perceive. The three-dimensional morphological features of UGI have been proven to be the key factors to effect urban ecological environment, which have rarely been incorporated into the UGI morphology in the previous researches. In this paper, a systematic approach to develop a 3D spatiotemporal morphological database for UGI is proposed. The database is built on a complete set of information describing the form of UGI in the plane, the vertical direction and the temporal changes. In addition, three categories of morphological parameters of UGI are calculated and integrated in the database. User operation and visualization and morphological parameter operation is achievable in the database. The database can be further integrated with simulation programs and analytical models so that it can be used in the design and research of various urban sustainable subjects. In a case study, we further create a complete 3D spatiotemporal morphological database of UGI for an urban district of 4km² in Nanjing, China.
