Through lake and swamp: Urbanization process of Baiyangdian wetland: An adaptive wetland production transformation
This project focuses on the sustainable development of Anxin County, situated in the Xiong'an New Area of China. The aim is to close the development gap between different municipalities and promote the integration of the Jing-Jin-Ji megaregion. Taking the local wetland productive system as a starting point, the project explores the possibilities of the local agricultural landscape to be adapted to the rapid urbanisation process as well as providing a climate-resilient solution for the hydrological crisis.
A strategic plan has been formulated through a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of scenario building. It emphasises the integration of local industries and other primary industries and ecological preservation. By promoting the sustainability of the local industry, a more coordinated network will be built to provide sufficient job opportunities for residents and protect the ecological sensitivity of the wetland at the same time.
