In recent years, natural disasters have happened frequently, energy crisis has occurred, food crisis and a series of social problems have been giving us warnings.

In the end, it is summed up that the productive landscape plays a positive role and has a great potential in terming of enhancing the environmental、social、economic status, realizing sustainable development of cities.
