Summary:

Sustainable urbanisation requires planning and design strategies and principles that take the (natural) landscape as the basis for working with natural processes for the benefit of socially and ecologically inclusive and thriving urban landscapes.. In this lecture, the concept of landscape-based regional design is introduced, taking the physical landscape structure and associated natural processes as a foundation to generate favourable conditions for future development and to guide and shape spatial transformation. Therefore, this approach offers a multiscale and integrative model for urban development and transformation, the preservation of biodiversity, water resource management, improved recreation facilities, community building, protection of heritage and economic development while taking the landscape as the basis.
