Case Study Summary:
The Dasha River Ecological Corridor focuses on the ecological restoration project in the Nanshan district of Shenzhen, China. The project, led by China Resources Land and master planned by AECOM, aims to restore the 18.8-kilometer watercourse that connects the coastal Nanshan district to the northern mountainous area of the city. The river faced pollution and disconnection from the community due to industrialization and misguided flood control measures. With the area's rapid urbanization and a population of 1.4 million people, the polluted river became an eyesore and a missed opportunity. To address these issues, authorities launched a rejuvenation program to restore the river's ecological health and reconnect it with the local community.
