Value and Rational Use of Landform Resources in Low Impact Development
Publication: International Low Impact Development Conference China 2016: LID Applications in Sponge City Projects
ABSTRACT
Cities are developing more outstanding and serious ecological and environmental problems. These problems are due to diverse reasons but can be traced back to the lack of regard for landforms as an important resource. Low impact development (LID) is a general plan to resolve these types of problems; LID promotes valuing landform resources and their rational use. Here, landform resources are defined, demonstrating that they are precious natural resources, and their special significance is highlighted. Incorporating a global breadth of advanced experience, planning, and design of landform resources are provided based on an urban construction case study of urban flood and waterlogged disaster prevention. LID is the key to ensuring sustainable urban development.
