Abstract:

Derelict land is a land type that causes great destruction to the ecological environment, destroys the cities' scenery and leads to the waste of land resources. As an embodiment of the long-term view of sustainable development, it is necessary to deal with the urban industrial wastelands and resuscitate them by utilizing the technology of ecological restoration. By introducing three successful examples of the resuscitation of the industrial wasteland - the "Gas Works Park" in Seattle (USA), the North Duisburg Landscape Park (Germany), and the Qijiang Park in Zhongshan City (China), this paper discusses their emerging and development processes as well as their insightful ideas and particular methods for ecological design, meanwhile illustrates their specific meaning and suitability to China. It is expected that the successful experiences of these three typical cases will be helpful to the urban ecological restoration and landscape planning in the future.
