An understanding of the spatial and temporal changes of estuarine islands is needed for environmental change monitoring and assessment in estuarine and coastal areas. Such information can also help us better understand how estuarine islands respond to sea level rise in the context of global warming. The temporal changes of two estuarine islands in Shanghai near the Yangtze River Estuary were obtained using Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) and ETM+ (Enhanced Thematic Mapper) images from 1987 to 2016 on an annual scale. First, a composite image was generated by using the multi-temporal Landsat images for each year. Then, a modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) was applied to the annual estuarine island maps using a threshold segmentation method.

  • Shanghai's Dongtan Eco-City and Chongming Eco-Island
    China’s Eco-cities as Variegated Urban Sustainability: Dongtan Eco-city and Chongming Eco-island I-Chun Catherine Chang* [email protected] Department of Geography, 515 Social Science Building University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA Eric S. Sheppard [email protected] Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles 1255 Bunche Hall, Box 951524, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA [Draft, please do not cite or circulate without the authors’ permission] Prepared for the Journal of Urban Technology, Special Issue on Pan-Asian Eco-cities * Corresponding author. Abstract Proliferating environmental sustainability policy frameworks suggest that sustainability and economic competitiveness are essentially interdependent and mutually enhancing. Under these policy discourses, cities are designated as strategic geographical locales for fulfilling the green capitalist goal of reconciling the contradictions between environment and development that long have bedeviled capitalism. While most urban sustainability agendas are crafted based on the experience of post-industrial countries, the promise of green capitalism and sustainability faces different challenges where industrial production still dominates the economy. However, research on whether and how urban sustainability policies are geographically variegated is still sparse, particularly beyond western (post)industrial capitalism. Examining the Dongtan eco-city project and associated Chongming eco-island project in Shanghai, we interrogate how sustainability is imagined and practiced on the ground within the distinctive Chinese context. The meanings of sustainability in Dongtan and Chongming reflect the context of Chinese urbanization in the Shanghai area. Both Dongtan and Chongming seek to develop green technologies as a way to resolve the dilemma of being caught between urbanization and agriculture.
