Water + Urbanism in Wuhan, China Most Chinese cities are river cities, evolving over thousands of years along the edges of waterways, linked thru trade to other cities, countries, and continents. The action was at the water’s edge where goods were packed up and unloaded, business thrived, and village gossip exchanged. The edge was the lifeblood of daily existence. BEYOND THE EDGE Beyond the Edge investigates the edge conditions of the Yangtze River and the East Lake in Wuhan, China as models of adaptive density; locations that reach back into the city as much they pull out from the city. The work Water + Urbanism in Wuhan, China exhibited here is dedicated to forecasting landscape-based strategies that address ecological, cultural, social, and design issues that complicate the future of urban development. We believe that future land-use and landscape systems must combat climate change and ecological and economic erosion. In order to accomplish this feat, new possibilities must be imagined, natural and cultural systems must be perfected, and the edge must be redefined.

Wilcox, Professor, Landscape Architecture Department/Section/Program of belonging Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Environmental Design, Cal Poly Pomona University/School Cal Poly Pomona Department of Landscape Architecture in collaboration with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China supported by SWA Laguna Beach Wuhan is the regional capital of Hubei Province and the largest city in Central China with a population of 10.94 million and growing. A conglomeration of three cities on the middle banks of Yangtze River, Wuhan is a city of water. Once known as a city of 1000 lakes, it is situated at the critical confluence of the Han and Yangtze rivers. Water in Wuhan gives life and defines culture but also destroys. Due to rapid urbanization and subsequent significant flooding disasters, the Wuhan has slowly pulled back from the edge and armored itself against the rivers and lakes with dykes, flood walls and other infrastructural barriers of singular use. This urban design project seeks to re-link the city to the water- lakes and river edges- as the most significant driver of cultural connection and urban morphology. The project develops two edge types, the river edge and the lake edge, as prototypes to explore edge conditions as a model of cultural thickness and adaptive density; locations where an adaptive and performative future emerges. Through the center of Wuhan runs the mighty Yangtze River and within the urban fabric, sits the East Lake, one of the largest ecological amenities of the region. The Yangtze River project is a waterfront site cut-off from the river by flooding and transportation infrastructure. To reconnect the city with the river, the urban fabric weaves and reaches to the edge by performative spaces to support everyday lives of residents. The East Lake project is set within the east campus of Huazhong University. A wall divides the east campus and east lake, diverting a small channel called the Huxi River to the lake with polluted waters. The people of Wuhan have adapted to these conditions over thousands of years and the projects presented here aim to leverage and preserve this cultural relevance and resilience to and of water. Both projects aim to activate a resilient, performative edge condition with integrated green infrastructure and urban design strategies as catalyst for an adaptive environmental future.

However, the long-term evolution of lakes in a certain megacity and the heterogeneity of the spatial relationship between related influencing factors and lake changes are rarely discussed. The evolution of 58 lakes in Wuhan, China from 1990 to 2019 was analyzed from three aspects of lake area, lake landscape, and lakefront ecology, respectively. The Multi-Scale Geographic Weighted Regression model (MGWR) was then used to analyze the impact of related influencing factors on lake area change. The investigation found that the total area of 58 lakes decreased by 15.3%. A worsening trend was found regarding lake landscape with the five landscape indexes of lakes dropping; in contrast, lakefront ecology saw a gradual recovery with variations in the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) in the lakefront area. The MGWR regression results showed that, on the whole, the increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), RSEI in the lakefront area, precipitation, and humidity Citation: Wen, C.; Zhan, Q.; Zhan, contributed to lake restoration.

  • Seasonal Succession of Bacterial Communities in Three Eutrophic Freshwater Lakes
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Case Report Seasonal Succession of Bacterial Communities in Three Eutrophic Freshwater Lakes Bin Ji, Cheng Liu, Jiechao Liang and Jian Wang * Department of Water and Wastewater Engineering, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430065, China; [email protected] (B.J.); [email protected] (C.L.); [email protected] (J.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-27-68893616 Abstract: Urban freshwater lakes play an indispensable role in maintaining the urban environment and are suffering great threats of eutrophication. Until now, little has been known about the seasonal bacterial communities of the surface water of adjacent freshwater urban lakes. This study reported the bacterial communities of three adjacent freshwater lakes (i.e., Tangxun Lake, Yezhi Lake and Nan Lake) during the alternation of seasons. Nan Lake had the best water quality among the three lakes as reflected by the bacterial eutrophic index (BEI), bacterial indicator (Luteolibacter) and functional prediction analysis. It was found that Alphaproteobacteria had the lowest abundance in summer and the highest abundance in winter. Bacteroidetes had the lowest abundance in winter, while Planctomycetes had the highest abundance in summer. N/P ratio appeared to have some relationships with eutrophication. Tangxun Lake and Nan Lake with higher average N/P ratios (e.g., N/P = 20) tended to have a higher BEI in summer at a water temperature of 27 ◦C, while Yezhi Lake with a relatively lower average N/P ratio (e.g., N/P = 14) tended to have a higher BEI in spring and autumn at a water temperature of 9–20 ◦C.

  • Planning Strategy and Practice of Low-Carbon City Construction , 46 Th ISOCARP Congress 2010
    Zhang Wentong, Planning Strategy and Practice of Low-carbon City Construction , 46 th ISOCARP Congress 2010 Planning Strategy and Practice of Low-carbon City Construction Development in Wuhan, China Zhang Wentong Yidong Hu I. Exploration on Planning of Low-carbon City Construction under the Global Context The concept of low-carbon is proposed in the context of responding to global climate change and advocating reducing the discharge of greenhouse gases in human’s production activities. While in the urban area, the low-carbon city is evolved gradually from the concept of ecological city, and these two can go hand in hand. The connotation of low-carbon city has also changed from the environment subject majoring in reducing carbon emission to a comprehensive subject including society, culture, economy and environment. Low-carbon city has become a macro-system synthesizing low-carbon technology, low-carbon production & consumption mode and mode of operation of low-carbon city. At last it will be amplified to the entire level of ecological city. The promotion of low-carbon city construction has a profound background of times and practical significance. Just as Professor Yu Li from Cardiff University of Great Britain has summed up, at least there are reasons from three aspects for the promotion of low-carbon city construction: firstly, reduce the emission of carbon through the building of ecological cities and return to a living style with the harmonious development between man and the nature; secondly, different countries hope to obtain a leading position in innovation through exploration on ecological city technology, idea and development mode and to lead the construction of sustainable city of the next generation; thirdly, to resolve the main problems in the country and local areas as well as the problem of “global warming”.

  • Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes' Distribution Based On
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes’ Distribution Based on Spatialization of Population Data: A Case Study of Wuhan Urban Development Zone Jing Wu *, Shen Yang y and Xu Zhang y School of Urban Design, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China; [email protected] (S.Y.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] These authors contributed equally to the research. y Received: 14 November 2019; Accepted: 4 December 2019; Published: 8 December 2019 Abstract: Lake reclamation for urban construction has caused serious damage to lakes in cities undergoing rapid urbanization. This process affects urban ecological environment and leads to inconsistent urban expansion, population surge, and uneven distribution of urban lakes. This study measured the fairness of urban lakes’ distribution and explored the spatial matching relationship between service supply and user group demand. The interpretation and analysis of Wuhan’s remote sensing images, population, administrative area, traffic network, and other data in 2018 were used as the basis. Specifically, the spatial distribution pattern and fairness of lakes’ distribution in Wuhan urban development zone were investigated. This study establishes a geographic weighted regression (GWR) model of land cover types and population data based on a spatialization method of population data based on land use, and uses population spatial data and network accessibility analysis results to evaluate lake service levels in the study area. Macroscopically, the correlation analysis of sequence variables and Gini coefficient analysis method are used to measure the fairness of the Wuhan lake distribution problem and equilibrium degree, and the location entropy analysis is used to quantitatively analyze the fairness of lakes and Wuhan streets from the perspective of supply and demand location entropy.

  • 26 Golden Days in Wuhan University
    26 Golden Days in Wuhan University －April 19th ~ May 14th, 2009－ 05159 Keiko Hirooka 【Introduction】 First of all, I would like to show my gratitude to everyone who provided such a wonderful opportunity for me to go to Wuhan University. So many things happened during my stay that I’m afraid I can’t write all of them here. If I try to do that (in fact I’d love to), it might be too long and less interesting like a kind of diary. So let me introduce a part of my days. Also I must excuse myself for my poor English. The reason why I dare to use English is not to forget the desire I found during my stay to express myself as much as I can to the outside world. 【My Subject】 Although the main purpose of my visit was supposed to be the learning about the basis of scientific research methods in the anatomic laboratory, I discussed with my professor (Prof. Dai) and decided to switch my policy of study to be in much wider range of fields. So I attended all the possible classes other than anatomy; Pharmacology, Immunology, Histology, Biochemistry and Genetics. There I could see what the medical education in this university was like and how people were working, living and feeling there from the students’ perspective. And, above all else, I could meet numerous people everyday, teachers, students and even their friends and families! That was the most amazing, fantastic experience for me. So, I’d appreciate it if I could report my whole school life as my subject instead.

  • Profiling of Sediment Microbial Community in Dongting Lake
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Profiling of Sediment Microbial Community in Dongting Lake before and after Impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam Wei Huang and Xia Jiang * State Key Laboratory of Environmental Criteria and Risk Assessment, Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, Beijing 100012, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +86-010-8491-3896 Academic Editor: Miklas Scholz Received: 11 April 2016; Accepted: 9 June 2016; Published: 21 June 2016 Abstract: The sediment microbial community in downstream-linked lakes can be affected by the operation of large-scale water conservancy projects. The present study determined Illumina reads (16S rRNA gene amplicons) to analyze and compare the bacterial communities from sediments in Dongting Lake (China) before and after impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the largest hydroelectric project in the world. Bacterial communities in sediment samples in Dongting Lake before impoundment of the TGD (the high water period) had a higher diversity than after impoundment of the TGD (the low water period). The most abundant phylum in the sediment samples was Proteobacteria (36.4%–51.5%), and this result was due to the significant abundance of Betaproteobacteria and Deltaproteobacteria in the sediment samples before impoundment of the TGD and the abundance of Gammaproteobacteria in the sediment samples after impoundment of the TGD. In addition, bacterial sequences of the sediment samples are also affiliated with Acidobacteria (11.0% on average), Chloroflexi (10.9% on average), Bacteroidetes (6.7% on average), and Nitrospirae (5.1% on average). Variations in the composition of the bacterial community within some sediment samples from the river estuary into Dongting Lake were related to the pH values.
