Abstract | ‘Kai Tak River’ as a city-human landscape, it could not only persuade the local residents to participate in the environment, it had also enriched the potential of a sustainable city development; from the conversion of polluted water to clear stream, it is a condensed lesson on environmental protection, and had also revealed the ability of the nature to restore itself as the positive outcome of the city renewal. In the past, the riverbank stank because of the polluted water, passersby covered up their nose when they walked pass; today the water quality is improved and had attracted vast number of fishes and birds to stay, the residents would also stop and admire, which constituted a harmonious picture of city ecology. It is a fortunate opportunity to see the basic element- ‘water’ changed its role in the city, and led to renewal of community space, but at the same time, it had ignited some reflections as to the Kai Tak development. |
