Abstract: To study the advanced concept of urban and rural green space planning and construction achievements of China, Shanghai was taken as the object of research. The urban and rural green space network construction was divided into six stages based on changes in urban construction background and major changes in the pattern of green space under the research methods of collecting related data and making field investigation, and the historical process of planning and construction of green space network was combined as a priority. Then construction background, green space planning preparation, planning layout and green space construction pattern of six stages were compared. The driving forces of green space construction were explored from the aspects of economic support, policy guidance and event promotion. Finally, the main features of urban and rural green space network and five strategies of green space integration were summarized, which were control, connection, expansion, updating and merging, in order to provide theoretical basis for other cities.
