The inherent law of urban spatial structure of hilly citys in irregular terrain can be catch through fractal theorys quantitative analysis. Compared with the existing urban form fractal dimension value of experience, this paper puts forward the development tendency of hilly urban morphological fractal dimension values. Combined with mountain ecology principle, this paper proposed optimization suggestions from the perspective of fractal space: compact urban spatial structure and efficient and intensive land use.]]>Zhu, H. and C.C.
