Based On The Riverside Landscape Integrated Urban Flood Control.

City riverfront area is transferring area between land and natural water body. It has its unique ecologic system and functions, and the most easily be influenced by human activities. Thus riverfront in city is the area that combines natural landscape and civilization landscapes. In the past riverfront projects, people had been emphasizing flood control and ignoring landscape effects. This paper analyzed the relationships between city flood control and riverfront landscape architecture planning and design, reached to three parts as follows,1. The first three chapters explained definitions, classifications, functions and characteristics of urban flood control and urban riverfront landscape architecture planning and design; based on national and international flood control and riverfront landscape architecture projects and theories, the paper analyzed urban flood control limitations and conflicts between urban flood control and riverfront landscape.2. From urban flood control, ecologic and landscape architecture point of views, the third and fourth chapters analyzed four major issues of safety, sustainable strategies, visual effect and riverfront activities that related to riverfront landscape architecture design; the chapters presented the theory of urban flood control and riverfront landscape architecture planning and design, and resolutions for reducing the conflicts between the two functions.3. The fifth chapter based on the above theories, made Hutubi riverfront landscape architecture planning as an example, discussed and presented Hutubi riverfront landscape architecture planning strategies based on its flood control functions.As a conclusion, integrated riverfront landscape system is the scientific combination of flood control and riverfront landscape. Could use natural valley, water body, wetland, man-made river, etc., instead of simply hard banks for flood control. Considering benefit of flood for riverfront ecology, we could use bank slop and stepped-down banks to adapt and reduce flood currency. The key of integrated riverfront landscape is directing water instead of defining water; controlling flood and utilizing flood could be a synchronized process.
