This paper systematically analyzed the regional and cultural ecology development of Tianjin, based on historical evolution. Such development is unique for its cultural exchange and invasion by foreign cultures. The study on the continuation mechanism of Tianjin's urban public space landscape provides a better understanding of the evolution patterns of urban public space landscape. In Tianjin, foreign cultures competed and collided with Chinese traditional cultures and eventually formed a blended cultural style of Tianjin. “Tianjin style” public space absorbed both Chinese and Western cultures and integrated features of both Northern and Southern China. Therefore, it is unique for its combination of diversified cultures.
