SHAPING THE LANDSCAPE OF DEVELOPMENT

Reclaiming the Malacca City by transforming into a research university town Malacca City, Malaysia Size: 182 ha + 250 ha Supervisor: Laura Cipriani

With the rapider reclamation process and increasingly prosperous tourism in the last decade, the unique historical and cultural characteristics of old Malacca Town are at risk. A monocentric development model concentrates the tourism industry on the town center, while the reclamation along the coast is followed by severe siltation and natural habitat destruction.

Two pilot plans propose a transition from traditional industrial areas into multifunctional eco-industrial community while generating new energy from existing industrial polluted soil. A new reclamation plan considers conservation of a wildlife sanctuary, respecting the environmental constraints, and proposing a productive ecology of multi-trophic aquaculture in the existing siltation area as new economy. Malacca becomens a clean city, diversifying its economics and adopting a circular metabolism in traditional as well as emerging industries.

The reclamation process speeded up in the last 20 years, the shorline of Malacca extended over 2500 m, along with the fast development of coastal area, and relocation of people living by the origional seaside, including many ethnic minorities, such as Chinese, Portuguese. The population ratio of those minorities decreased. The ratio of Chinese to total ppl declined from 39% to 26.7%.

INTERVIEW WITH COSTAL RESIDENTS My family were forced to move three times. Now we have lost the sea which we depend on.We can see with our own eyes how the ecology has changed: silting, worse seabed quality, sand dumping, macro organism in the mud......mud in grey color is alive, when it is chocolate black it is dead instead, it is no longer the gift from nature, but the dirt from the sea.

——Martin Theseira from Portuguese Settlement.

Young people started to leave village since 1970s, went to Kuala Lumpur, Singpore and other places to get better education and opportunities to earn more money. We know that fishing is a sunset career, now young all gone, only old people live in the village.

2. SILTATION PROBLEM The process of blocking something with sand or soil; the sand or soil that blocks something.(Definition of “siltation” from the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary & Thesaurus © Cambridge University Press)

1km A 200m seperating channel between 2 adjacent islands has been placed in front of all rivers for the string of reclamation south of the Pulau Melaka project, which contribute to the silatation problem.

Due to the blocking effect in the Channel & likely socio-economic impact on the Portuguese Settlement, 750 meters of seperating channel between island & mainland is recommended by EIA report.

The future plan will cause worse siltation problem in the Parameswara Jatty, Pulau Melaka Channel, even sensative areas like the Portuguese Settlement.

By decentralizing the industry gravity center from town center to surrounding area, the sustainable development of Malacca old town and coastal area might be ensured.

By diversifying the economics in Malacca old town, Toursim dominates on weekends, and Education takes up during weekday. By circulating metabolism, the transformation from pollution to profits might be reached by industry cluster planning.

PILOT PLAN 1 Transition from polluted hotspots to Eco-industrial community Cheng industrial area is a traditional industrial estate besides Melaka river with 70 factories in 181.5 ha. Since Melaka River beautification project is in processing, this area will becom one part of the project in the future.

Due to the declining of manufactory industry, there are some opportunities to change this areas into a green industial area, also generating new economy at the same time.

PILOT PLAN 2

A new port is on planning along the coastline. Melaka Gateway with its 4 islands is expected to generate new economy for the old city, Considered on several impacts on people and animals, I proposed a new scenerio which conserves the wildlife sanctury, as well as protecting seaside residents from siltation and blocking effects. While the development areas will keep the same size with existing proposal (250 ha).

A REVITALIZED GREEN AND BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE

Enhancing the ecological connectivity of green space in Gucun neighbourhood area Shanghai, China Size: 12 ha Supervisor: Hwang Yun Hye

Gucun park locates at the intersection of planned Jiabao ecological corridor and out-ring green belt, as the biggest green patch in Baoshan with existing and potential connection to Wusong wetland park, Chenxing reservior, and Jiabao ecological forest belt. It is necessary to conserve and enhance its ecological value in order to improve the quality of ecological network in Baoshan scale and bigger scale.

Respecting the importance of improving the ecological value and enhancing the connectivity of green space in Gucun neighbourhood scale, the main concept of this project is to enhance the ecological connectivity from Gucun park to surrounding area by creating a green and blue infrastructure to restore local habitats and reduce barriers. While a walkable network integrated with diverse and flexible programs will be introduced, as well as increased water capacity for stormwater management and rainwater recycle system for irrigation.

A sustainable development mode to restore the landscape in Guming old village Nanning, China Size: 2.3 ha Supervisor: Xu Feng

Guming is a old village with long history, splendid culture, which faced with severe problems of destruction of natural environment.

This project tried to explore a development mode favoring the heritage and protection of traditional culture by restoring the landscape and activate the ground in Guming Village. This project also seeked the most suitable solution of protecting Guming old village, to refresh the old village and extract the local characteristics as a model of old villagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; development in China.

OUR SHARED PLACE

Ecological restoration and revitilization of Banma Lake Changsha, China Size: 48 ha Supervisor: Li Xianfeng

The Banma Lake locates at the Changsha City, which is a important place for migration birds. With the rapid urban expansion, the amphibian diversity in Changshe decreased from 14 species to 4 species in the past ten years.

This project aims to create a new place shared by not only people but also animals by restoring the wetland and bringing back the natural habitats for birds. This project would become a catalyst for ecological and urban renewal at the same time.

26

Banma Lake is one of the important place that was reserved for the passing birds, the wetland beside the Xiang River is a important habitat for migrating birds nesting and feeding.

Historically, Banma Lake was characterized by open complexes of wetlands dominated by Miscanthus floridulus marsh communities. Unfortunately, the water pollution along the lake caused the reduction of marsh communities, as well as the structure of ecosystem.

Decades of industrialization have resulted in environmental conditions so severely degraded that little wildlife remains and biophysical conditions are severe.

At the same time, with the rapid expansion of Wangcheng Town Center, urban land cover has replaced much of the rural matrix, including the wetland beside Xiang River.

Restore the structure of the ecosystem by put in species step by step to enrich the animal community gradually, so that we can rebuild the wetland food. A balanced ecsystem provides abundant nutrients for birds.

A multifunctional landscape infrastructure to minimize the urban heat island effect Singapore Size: 30.6 ha + 2.3 ha Supervisor: Hwang Yun Hye

While the forest will be replaced by residential areas in the future, the increase of intnsity of development will worsen microclimate condition, as well as fragmentation of habitat. This project aims to propose a multifunctional landscape infrastructure to minimize the urban heat island effect and facilitate wild life movement while keeping the infrastructure functions according to the need of the users.
