Abstract
In the overall urban environment the urban waterfront landscape area plays a dual function of landscape and culture, and is an important incubator for the natural ecology of the city. Therefore, the shaping of the locality of the urban waterfront space is not only to create a beautiful city card, but also to improve the ecology of the city and the inevitable requirements of waterfront landscape construction. This paper first analyses the basic theory of urban waterfront landscape, and then conducts an in-depth study on the principles of urban waterfront landscape design under the ecological design concept. Solutions are proposed for the current problems of urban waterfront landscape design, and feasible landscape design methods are proposed in conjunction with the concept of ecological urbanism. The urban landscape is seen as a resource, guided by the theories of ecology and landscape ecology, and the principles of the ecological design concept, with a view to establishing a harmonious and symbiotic relationship between the environment, the landscape and people, and meeting people's needs and spiritual aspirations.
Highlights
Urban waterfronts with unique geographical advantages have long been favoured, and most of the most valuable waterfronts in any country in the world are dependent on natural bodies of water [1]
This paper addresses the current problems, combines multidisciplinary knowledge, takes ecological urbanism as a theoretical guide, adheres to the concept of sustainable development, and conducts research on the design of waterfront urban landscapes, which provides practical implications for the design of relevant waterfront spaces in the future
The formation of the urban waterfront landscape is a complex movement of intertwined time periods and internal systems according to geographical differences, a long and evolving continuum, a convergence of countless historical moments compressed into a particular space
Summary
Urban waterfronts with unique geographical advantages have long been favoured, and most of the most valuable waterfronts in any country in the world are dependent on natural bodies of water [1]. The urban waterfront is an important component of a city's public open space and an important showcase of the city's landscape [2]. A good and beautiful urban waterfront landscape plays an important role in enhancing the appearance of the city and increasing its external attractiveness. In recent years, as a doubleedged sword, the regionalisation of waterfront landscapes in cities has led to the modernisation and development of urban economies, while at the same time being damaged by man, leading to a decline in the quality of the urban ecological environment [3]. This paper addresses the current problems, combines multidisciplinary knowledge, takes ecological urbanism as a theoretical guide, adheres to the concept of sustainable development, and conducts research on the design of waterfront urban landscapes, which provides practical implications for the design of relevant waterfront spaces in the future
