Abstract

Because of its capacity to assist with individual physical and mental health, the restorative landscape design falling under the direction of healthy city is drawing more and more attention from a variety of businesses. One of the key concerns in landscape architecture research is how to handle with the interaction between restoration landscape, physical space environment, and behavioral space environment. The existing urban public space is increasingly inadequate to fulfill people’s diverse health demands. This essay examines the significance and objectives of contemporary revitalizing landscape design against the context of the expansion of healthy cities and the transformation of landscape design. It then suggests a revitalizing landscape design strategy with a healthy city orientation by combining the real-world example of Shanghai Wulong Commercial Plaza waterfront green space design.
