Abstract :
The paper studies decision analysis for urban construction from the perspective of harmonious symbiosis between urban construction and its environment. The purpose is to promote the harmony and sustainability of urban construction and development. A symbiotic city model is proposed, regarding the whole of urban construction projects and the environment as a living symbiont, and showing symbiotic relations between urban construction and the environment. Through introducing the symbiotic city model into the field of urban construction, an analysis framework for urban construction decision-making is established, which conduces to harmonious symbiosis between urban construction and the environment. Case study demonstrates how this analysis framework works. Some recommendations are given to solve the problems of urban construction decision-making according to the analysis of the cases.
