Abstract: After the 2019 pandemic, Jianshui, a historical and cultural city, witnessed a systematic growth in tourist numbers and revenue. The impact of tourism income, coupled with the shift of capital from large cities to small cities with lower population density, accelerated the social transformation of Jianshui county town. Simultaneously, a considerable amount of incremental construction and internal urban renewal emerged in response to the development needs of the county town. Urban design and place-making methods that adapt to the socio-economic form of Jianshui county town urgently need exploration and research. This paper takes the inclusive path of the three dominant design disciplines in human settlement environment (planning, architecture, and landscape) as a methodological guide. It demonstrates the "meticulous work" of urban design with the goals of high-quality development and high-quality living from the dimensions of planning, landscape, and architecture. The proposed urban design practices include planning for overall decision-making, optimizing spatial matrix through landscape enhancements, shaping carrier images through architecture, and ensuring sustainable development through operational support. These methods aim to serve as references for planning methods that strive for high-quality development and high-quality living.
