The Development of Disaster Prevention Green Space in China

Abstract

Approaches to disaster prevention have changed over the generations in China. From an integration and appreciation of urban landscapes that doubled as fire and flood prevention strategies in ancient China, to new national and local legislation, planning and construction for disaster prevention and response should be better integrated in urban landscapes and city planning. This paper summarizes historic and contemporary strategies for better implementation of strategies for disaster response and prevention into urban green spaces in Chinese cities.
