Duoba Huangshui River Park Landscape Concept Plan
With the theme ‘Huangshui Wetland, Urban Oasis’, this project develops a comprehensive river park in Duoba. The project combines the characteristics of the regional ecological belt, eco-security buffer zone, local cultural, historical and recreational corridor, and urban façade for Duoba New Town. The planning strategies focus on repairing river ecology by creating diverse river habitats and a natural river landscape. At the same time, these spatial interventions follow the ‘Space for the River’ approach to enhance flood safety in a more resilient and environmentally friendly way than traditional concrete dikes. The proposal integrates the unique local characteristics of plateau climate, land form, and cultural diversity to form a strong local cultural identity. The project improves urban and rural spatial quality by reorganizing public space, riverfronts, and eco-friendly slow traffic systems. The Duoba River Park Plan contributes to the new town’s long-term development in the river landscape and integrated urban environment.
