A Study on the Landscape Design Strategies for Regeneration of Post-Industrial Sites of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Region in China

Abstract

This study aims to discover the implications through the analysis of the characteristics and design strategies of the regeneration of the post-industrial sites in the metropolitan the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region. This study provides a basis for future research and theoretical strengths for post-industrial site regeneration practices. The results of the study are as follows. First, post-industrial site regeneration projects pursue diverse goals such as industrial heritage preservation, cultural creativity, and neighborhood revitalization in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region. Second, in the design process, the characteristics and spatial levels of the space are enhanced by utilizing the original industrial space, incorporating transitional space, and using industrial facilities of varying heights. Third, old and new landscape elements are harmoniously integrated through the rational use of industrial relics and the appropriate addition of new elements. Fourth, the design emphasizes ecological soil restoration and the use of native and adaptable plants that have the capacity to remediate polluted soil. Fifth, the design combines modern artistic elements, such as sculpture and graffiti art to enrich the site and promote the revival of the post-industrial site. Sixth, urban events and public activities are actively programmed to vitalize the regenerated site.

Research on the Development of Urban Parks Based on the Perception of Tourists: A Case Study of Taihu Park in Beijing

“…The urban park takes recreation as its main function and also improves the urban ecological quality, beautifies the urban environment, prevents and reduces urban disaster, and regulates the climate [24]. Recently, research on urban parks has gradually changed from the basic initial concept definition, type division, planning, design, etc., [25] to the size and approach of urban parks' play value and utility improvement [26][27][28]. As the parks develop, consumers, as important users, have become the focus of research.…”
