Abstract
The urban embankments are designed by hydraulic experts as structures in China, facing the problems of closing to water, landscape and ecology. This paper points out that recently the urban riverbanks are changing from the single function of preventing flood to the multi-functions including recreation, entertainment and sight-seeing. So basing on the good flood control, we should promote the diversification of functions and forms of riverbanks from the urban design view.
