However, location selection of urban sculpture is still difficult, especially in master plan. This paper attempts to explore for a new method of location selection for sculpture planning based on GIS and in combination with the practical case of Taizhou Urban Sculpture Planning. Firstly, the paper's author used the Internet to select the open space points suitable for the setting of urban sculptures in the city, and then utilized Baidu Map POI data, WeChat Heat map, open space area, and other factors to evaluate the importance of the aforementioned spatial nodes, thus determining the desired location selection of sculpture.
