Abstract: Modern parks in northeast China emerged with the historical context of regime changes. They have evolved with the development of cities. Taking the historical changes of the parks as the objects, this research divides the process into three modes: inheritance, overlay and superposition. The international spatial characteristics of the development of northeastern cities make the parks become a field of foreign and local competition or replication. The internal incentives of the emergence and development are the dual influences of politics and culture. An in-depth study of the historical changes of modern parks in northeast China will help to clarify the value of its historical heritage and cultural landscape, carry out rational development and utilization according to the principle of heritage protection, and better protect and inherit the historical and cultural memory of the cities.
