With the rapid developments of urbanization in China and the effluence of urban functions, most of the city borders have become very poor and behind in developments, who have lost characters of rural areas in one hand and onn the other hand not belong to urban area. Based on a large number of literature reading and field research years ago, this paper choose Zhuantang (an urban border in Hangzhou) as a area for case study. After China Academy of Art moved to Zhuantang, the existence of this special pushing (the college) and the town’s diversified developments, lead to a transformation of the urban morphology of Zhuantang. Generalizing the developmental model and strategy adopted by Zhuantang provides references to the sustainable development in urban borders.
