About this Event

A Landscape Character-Based Solution: Developing Sustainable Responses to Landscape Dynamics of a Peri-urban Area in the Pearl River Delta


The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is a typical dynamic area of human-nature interaction in South China for more than a thousand year. Also known as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it has been one of the most rapid economic growing and urbanising area in world since the Chinese economic reform in 1980s. In the context of global environmental crises, nominated ecological and agricultural space is well protected from urban development in China while wider ‘ordinary’ space outside those conservations is left behind. This is a gap could be filled by the landscape character assessment which aims to make one landscape different from another, rather than value it as better or worse.

In this seminar, the research will be discussed from regional scale zooming into local scale by revealing land character dynamics of the PRD in the past, assessing landscape character and landscape capacity of a case study at present and providing sustainable response to urban development for future.
