Abstract：Locality is a source of urban characteristics. It includes the accumulation of cultural activities of the inhabitants in a specific geographical environment, and is the representation and inner law of urban formation and development. Xinjiang Production and Construction Corp (XPCC) was established in a special historical period, and its mission has shifted substantially from "farm and defend" to "build and defend" the frontier. XPCC cities not only have the unique Xinjiang continental climate and the "Silk Road" cultural landscape, they also distinguish themselves from other cities by their military farming tradition in their urban development history. This tradition gives XPCC cities a mixed cultural characteristic of revolutionary spirit and multi-racial fusion. Based on the analysis of regional elements of XPCC cities and by using Hongxing City as an example, this paper summarizes the strategies, methods and practical exploration of regional theories in urban design.
