Meet the Ecologist - Dr. David Gallacher
Ecological Planning and Design in Shenzhen Dasha River Ecological Corridor
Over the last 20 years, there have been huge changes in how rivers are managed across Asia and global. The river, once a backdrop to development, has become a forefront of urban development. Dasha River Ecological Corridor runs about 13.7 kilometers along the Dasha River from its origin at Changlingpi Reservoir in Yangtai mountain to its mouth at Shenzhen Bay, creating almost 100 hectares of new riverside park in the city center on the west side of Shenzhen. How is this large-scale ecological plan formulated? What should be considered when setting ecological goals in urbanized landscape projects?

Translator between Ecologists and Engineers: The Role of Landscape Architects in the Implementation of the Shenzhen Dasha River Ecological Corridor
Shenzhen Dasha River Ecological Corridor was completed in just 22 months, from design research and construction to being fully open to the public. In the rapid project cycle mode, how were the ecological concepts proposed by ecologists implemented during the landscape construction phase? What role did landscape architects play in this process?

Different Timeframes of Ecological Restoration and Landscape Design - Reflection of Jiuxiangling Wetland Park and Dashah River Ecological Corridor
Landscape design projects in urban areas often prioritize the needs of people, aiming to have high aesthetic and entertainment value, as well as immediate impact. Ecological restoration, on the other hand, is often a systematic project that requires a long period of accumulation. How can ecological landscape design better balance these two fundamentally different requirements? What experiments have been conducted by the Shenzhen Dashah River Ecological Corridor project in response to this issue, and what reflections have been made?
