Global Garden City Construction In Dualistic Societies: A Case Study Of Chengdu, China
The development of Chengdu City takes on a character of a certain mixture between modernity and tradition. This mixture can be seen in the mixture between structured urban forms of the modern sector and organic landscape of the traditional compounds. The sustainability of an urban region depends upon the ability of urban communities to sustain sufficient economic activities while containing their externalities on the environment. Modern global garden city is an ideal of universal appeal that transcends dualistic societies and increasingly requires the abatement of pollution, plus the addition of positive features, notably green spaces, to ameliorate the new scarcity of healthy environments. Garden city deserves more attention and resource support, with strengthening of both policies and practices. Comparing to spacious developments, farmland and green spaces for compact city areas encounter more restrictions and stresses, and are more amenable to degradation and losses. This paper will explain this key phrase of Chengdu as a World Garden City, as a secondary nature based on comprehending two ideas: one, garden, as secondary nature is the result of the continuous interaction of nature and the garden, rather than nature or the design intention itself. Two, the creation of the modern world gardens was based on the fractal property of unconsciously recreating nature.
