城市雕塑大致分为景观园林雕塑、城市主题雕塑、校园雕塑、工程雕塑四大类，在材料上多为石头、不锈钢、铸铜等，也有水泥、玻璃钢或其他材料。城市雕塑一般建立在城市的公共场所，既可以单独存在，又可与各种建筑物结合在一起，相得益彰。城市雕塑建立的场所也有很多，在城市的各条道路、广场、火车站、机场、公园、商业区、高校、海边、政府机关等等地方。
Urban sculpture can be roughly divided into four categories: landscape sculpture, urban theme sculpture, campus sculpture and engineering sculpture. In terms of materials, most of them are stone, stainless steel, cast copper, etc., as well as cement, fiberglass or other materials. Urban sculpture is generally built in the public places of the city, which can exist alone and be combined with various buildings to complement each other. There are many places for urban sculpture, such as roads, squares, railway stations, airports, parks, business districts, universities, seaside, government agencies, etc.
提起城市雕塑，我们就会想到纽约的“自由女神”、哥本哈根的“美人鱼”、布鲁塞尔的“撒尿小孩”等。高英坡认为，这些城市雕塑之所以能成为城市的标志性建筑，并让全世界人民熟知，就是因为它们与城市传统文化有着密切的关系，折射出这座城市的历史印记。在题材等方面也往往以城市闻名的历史事件、人物等作为依托，才成就了这些伟大的雕塑，也让这些雕塑和城市闻名遐迩。
When it comes to urban sculpture, we will think of the "statue of liberty" in New York, the "Mermaid" in Copenhagen, the "peeing child" in Brussels, etc. Gao yingpo believes that the reason why these urban sculptures can become the landmark buildings of the city and be known by people all over the world is that they have a close relationship with the traditional culture of the city and reflect the historical imprint of the city. In terms of themes and other aspects, they often rely on historical events and figures that are well-known in cities to achieve these great sculptures, and also make these sculptures and cities famous.
