Abstract Domestic cities have experienced dramatic changes among which the speed of development in the city is faster than any time before and some renewals are lack of control. The speed of development not only concerns with time, but also matters with the space where lots of skyscrapers are built without any restraints. Lots of phenomena have occurred during this period. For example, on the one hand, the process of modernization is deviated from the tradition in many aspects. On the other hand, massive lands are split, exchanged and sold legally. These phenomena indicate that capitalized production of space is affected by ideology, keening to the metaphysically materialized landscape and space has become a tool of political economy. As a result, the purpose of establishing landscape is not to satisfy the real demands but just to cater to the fashion. However, as the economic society experiences a commercialized development, the modern culture is departed from its correct track, showing as the uncontrolled expansion after the collapse of the inherent culture pattern in local society. The traditional landscape of the city becomes extinct gradually due to the development without any restraint. The article aims to reveal the various phenomena of collage in the landscape by using the social theory synthetically from the perspective of production of space and discuss the non-equilibrium of urban space and the development lacking rigorously geographical typology using the concepts of "Spatial Matrix" and "Limitation". Furthermore, many phenomena occurred in the production of space can be treated as symptoms in the process of urban renewal. Due to all the reasons above, the article points out that the city and its landscape should return to the nature to keep the balance between the living and environment. It is not a simplified collage to repair and renew the spatial environment. Tackling the issue needs to take the limitations and differences of environment into consideration. Finally, it would be a gradual development so that the dramatic changes could not happen in this process.
