Landscape Design Method of the Urban Waterfront Slow-motility Space

Abstract

The waterfront area is the birthplace of human civilization and an ideal place for human gathering. Most of the world's famous cities are built with water and are prosperous by water. In 1991–1992 the UNCED Preparatory Committee (Prep Com) stated：’The world’s population is expected to exceed 8 billion by the year 2020. 60%of the world’s population already lives in coastal areas, while 65% of cities with populations above 2.5 million are located along the world coasts’1。 After thousands of years of development, the waterfront has gradually become the main axis of urban space development, carrying urban culture, presenting the image of the city, and providing a rare hydrophilic area and public space for local residents. The waterfront slow space is an indispensable transportation space in the waterfront area, and it is also an important place for people to experience and perceive the waterfront landscape. Under different design concepts, the route organization of urban waterfront slow-motility space has great differences, and significantly affects the landscape quality of the waterfront. This paper attempts to analyze the design and evaluation methods of the waterfront slow-motility space from the perspective of landscape perception. In order to analyze related issues in depth, this chapter first defines the relevant core concepts, clarifies the background, purpose and significance of the research, and clarifies the research ideas, content arrangements and research methods
