The project tried to enhance the relationship between mankind and nature. After digging background information and field observation, the team found that the site is nothing like a wetland with higher ecological values such as Back Bund. Now Xuhui Waterfront is more used as a background for cultural venues, and its landscape design is aimed to meet formal needs. Designed to attract tourists, this site still has a long way to improve the local environment or meet residence needs, the team responded to the site with ecological values and met the needs of accessibility for citizens. The green bank on the west bund of the Huangpu River will be restored to provide habitat for urban wildlife.
