Reblooming Here: Erhai Lake Ecological Restoration Project

Built Projects: Wildlife, Biodiversity, Habitat Enhancement or Creation - Award of Excellence

The 129 km long, 900 hectare restoration of Erhai Lake greatly improves the quality of the “iconic yet filthy water” while connecting it to the surrounding towns. The lake has spiritual value for many communities, such as the Shuanglang and Xizhou, and serves as a place of worship for the Bai people, an ethnic minority of over 50% of Dali. The beautiful aquatic, blooming Ottelia acuminata is an indicator species and its significant return demonstrates the new sustainability of the lake.

The developed masterplan uses dynamic measures and methods in diverse scales to limit poor development practices and respond to social challenges, achieving maximal ecological benefit with minimal human intervention. With a multitude of government and local players, the project reinvigorates and monitors the entire watershed with waterscape management. The included slow traffic ways and facilities have created a boom in daily usage of the lake.

Tangshan Garden Expo Park: From Brownfield to Green Oasis

Built Projects: Economic Viability - Honourable Mention

Tangshan Garden Expo is a 2.18 km? urban park in the well-known industrial town of China —— Kaiping District, Tangshan City in Hebei. It was formerly an urban brownfield with industrial and construction waste piled high, and subsidence ponds formed by coal mining scattered. This is a significant planning and design project for transforming the wasteland to an urban oasis which is ecological resilient, sustainable and low-carbon.
