Beyond Greenbelts and Zoning: A New Planning Concept for the Environment of Asian Mega-Cities

DOI DOI PDF Web Site Web Site 被引用文献28件

説明

Asian mega-cities have realized explosive growth in the post-war decades. Such growth, however, resulted in serious environmental problems including air and water pollution and a lack of adequate urban infrastructure. This growth also created a chaotic mixture of urban and rural land use in the fringe of the cities. Western urban planning concepts such as zoning and greenbelt additions have been applied to the cities to encourage controlled urban growth. These landscapes located in the fringe of Asian mega-cities indicate that such attempts have not achieved significant success. Asian cities historically place land use patterns of urban and rural character next to each other. These vernacular landscapes have in the past demonstrated a workable relationship between the urban and rural environments.
