Abstract

The Pearl River Delta (PRD), as one of the fastest developing deltas in terms of land expansion and urban development in the world, is facing serious challenges related to Urban expansion & densification, urban flooding, and identity crisis. The objective of this research is to design a landscape framework and explore adaptive design principles for water resilient urban development of Pazhou. Applying a layered and landscape-based approach, the design uses a method of building up a fundamentally water resilient landscape structure, following with adaptive development structured by TOD principles and high-quality urban space principles.
