The present invention discloses a city river course environment improving method, which comprises: water level maintaining, wherein the city river course is maintained at a certain range; water quality improving, wherein a flocculant and/or oxidizing agent is used for the water body so as to make the suspension of the water body be subjected to coagulation, and then settlement is performed to improve the transparency of the water body; sediment improving, wherein the sediment particle size is refined, the sediment oxidation reduction conditions are improved, and the sediment harmful organisms are killed; upstream floating residue trapping removing, wherein the grilling for removing the floating substances on the water surface is arranged on the river course upstream; and ecological revetment protection, wherein ecological hexagonal bricks or/and wetland plants and/or vine plants are used to protect the revetment so as to enhance the side slope stability. According to the present invention, the river course water quality is improved, the sense organ requirements of human on the river course are met, and the river course organism species diversity is enriched.
