With the rapid development of urban economy and society, altas is more and more important obviously for its function to demonstrate great changes and development in cities. In china, many cities have compiled many kinds of atlases with different emphasizes one after another, especially for those in economy blooming areas, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

The atlas with 160 pages(787mm²×1092mm²,1/8) was published in 2004 and got the third prize for national mapping competition in 2006.

It fully illustrates that the driving force of social-economic demand is pushing our cartographers to compile all kinds of thematic atlases and maps, and to do more research on the new issues in compiling the atlases.

As for the features of the atlas , this paper is divided into 6 parts:
