Visual resources protection and reserve in the process of China's fast-paced urbanization

Abstract

The progress of China's fast-paced urbanization is a land development process. Driven by “land bonus”, many lands with high quality visual resources have been used to develop estate in an unsustainable way. In the basis of drawing the relevant theory and research approach both at home and abroad, the paper attempts to present some strategies of visual resources protection and reserve basing on the reality of China. To illustrate necessity for the adoption of these strategies, an example, Taihu Lake selected from Jiangsu Province P. R. of China is presented.
