TOPIC: “Biodiverse Plant Use”
Urban areas are predicted to triple in size by 2030 and natural habitats are declining it stands to reason that if we don’t want ecological robustness to decline as well, biodiversity must be designed into urban landscapes. Expanding the urban green areas and contributing the natural areas development in cities not only promotes species richness, but also bring better quality of life for the residents.
STABILITY ECO FRIENDLY
AIM: Work out a method to improve urban green infrastructure on a neighborhood scale. Work out technical answers to solve one particular problem considering urban green infrastructure.

before
Type 1 (public streetscape) Type 2 (public streetscape) Type 3 (semi-residential /semi-public streetscape)
- Reconstruction and designing of the sidewalk beds Planting biodiverse plant species(drought tolerant and pollution resistant ) - Creating more space for green way - Reconstruction of the alley and sidewalk beds - Planting biodiverse plant species (drought tolerant and pollution resistant, pollinators attracting ) - Low maintenance - Sustainability - Reducing parking places in the middle of the street
before
after
Type 4 (private open space) Type 5 (public streetscape)
TYPE 5 It’s better to concentrate on the previous 4 types because they require more attention and have a greater potential. - Narrow street: difficult to find place for more plantation - Car parking takes over almost the entire street - Not so often used by pedestrians but cars
TYPE 4
TYPE 3
- Redesign of private inner gardens - Planting biodiverse plant species (shade and wet tolerant, fruit trees and shrubs) - Planting birds & insects attracting shrubs and perennials Community-based garden projects, vegetable gardens - Local maintenance
- Redesign of private entrance gardens - Planting biodiverse plant species (shade and wet tolerant, pollution resistant) - Planting birds & insects attracting shrubs and perennials Community-based garden projects, local maintenance
