The article firstly analyzes the development process and the existence problem of urban transport and the influence on low-carbon city construction in China. It points out that urban spatial structure will have a long term impact on transport modal choice and sustainable development. In view of our city’s different condition in high density and mixture in land use between other western industry country, the article proposes the new model of urban transportation and land use——5D. That is put walking and cycling transport at the top priority in urban planning to reverse the current planning practice of car traffic first. Because the urban transport and the land use in China have the characteristic of synchronization and intergrowth, the establishment of the urban multi-modal green transport system should place itself at its urban development condition. So it points out that specially maintaining the high proportion bicycle travel in Chinese city is an important contribution to world environment problem.
