Application of Environmentally Friendly Materials in Landscape Infrastructure

Abstract:

Nowadays, as the consumption of traditional materials has caused serious urban environmental problems, more and more people are seeking ways to solve it. Using alternative materials such as environmentally friendly materials is a way to tackle the problem from the source itself. Combining with the study of landscape infrastructure, which is a new way to dig into problems of a city, they can be much more practically significant. This paper summarizes the features and properties of environmentally friendly materials, then analyzes cases of applying environmentally friendly materials through the research and formation of landscape infrastructure. Through the usage of environmentally friendly materials, these projects ease the contradiction between traditional materials and environment and between development and ecology. Finally, realize the sustainable development of cities and the coordination between man and nature.
