Abstract
With the development of cities, problems like natural and social disasters appeared more and more frequently. For example, rapid urbanization and climate change have caused both increasing flood probability and the severity of flooding. Consequently, there is a need for all cities to develop new strategies to maintain their vitality in numerous challenges and crises. This paper in the first place reviews the concept and research fields of urban resilience; besides, according to the characteristics of the Ilmpark situated in Weimar, This paper analyzes the necessity and potential on stormwater management of this area and then it concludes the alternative strategies of improvement based on the theory of urban resilience.
Highlights
City as a complex system is becoming increasingly powerful while becoming more and more fragile; any damage or inadaptation to new changes of subsystems can result in fatal crisis even devastate the entire city, for example, the drought and floods intrusions brought about by climate change; the destruction of the city caused by major natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis; the social panic result from terrorist attacks, the spread of infectious diseases or financial crisis; the disorder of space lead by high-density development and mismanagement and so on
Wang cept of urban resilience in this context has on one hand stressed the buffering capacity dealing with external shocks, and on the other hand emphasized the improvement of learning ability of the city, seizing the opportunities brought by the challenges and maintaining the development vitality
There are still some unoptimistic facts attract less attention: Firstly, the accelerated urbanization process have produced more pollutants to contaminate the water in the Ilm river; Secondly, Weimar has a characteristics of huge rainfall, it needs flood protection at the same time the rainfall has high value of reuse; Thirdly, the park has rich terrain and geomorphic types, how to more effectively take advantage of terrain features to form landscape and achieve sustainable development of the city need the support of more developed sustainable stormwater management techniques
Summary
City as a complex system is becoming increasingly powerful while becoming more and more fragile; any damage or inadaptation to new changes of subsystems can result in fatal crisis even devastate the entire city, for example, the drought and floods intrusions brought about by climate change; the destruction of the city caused by major natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis; the social panic result from terrorist attacks, the spread of infectious diseases or financial crisis; the disorder of space lead by high-density development and mismanagement and so on. How the cities could actively respond to various changes and maintain its own development vitality within numerous challenges and crises have become a vital problem to be solved. (2015) Research on Stormwater Management of Cultural Heritage Ilmpark in Weimar Germany Based on Urban Resilience. C. Wang cept of urban resilience in this context has on one hand stressed the buffering capacity dealing with external shocks, and on the other hand emphasized the improvement of learning ability of the city, seizing the opportunities brought by the challenges and maintaining the development vitality. For heritage conservation and urban development which confronted with large-scale flood protection problems, the traditional simple engineering structural stormwater management is gradually exposed to lots of problems. Learning from nature stormwater management principles and processes and studying the application of ecological stormwater management approach have practical significance to the supplement and improvement of urban stormwater management methods
