Abstract: A comparative study was done on the landscape patterns of green-space in both of the old and new urban areas of Urumqi city in the light of the theory and research methodology by means of eCognition techniques and QuickBird data of the city. It was showed by the results that the landscape of the green-space in the new urban area of Urumqi was with higher diversity, evener distribution, less fragmentation, lower corridor density and lower fractional dimension. Whereas there were higher dominance, more dispersive distribution, much more fragmentation, higher corridor density and higher fractional dimension features shown by the green-space landscape in the old urban area. Consequently, a discussion was made toward the ecological construction of green-space landscape in Urumqi.
