Abstract
Jiangnan Park represents a territorial vision for the cultural landscape located at the heart of the Yangtze River Delta megacity region of China. At the hinterland of Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, this area is often overlooked in spatial and development plans; however, it has the potential to evolve into a unifying core reflecting the multiple identities of the region. The concept of Jiangnan Park was developed through a five-year, incremental research-through-design initiative led by a multidisciplinary team of academics, students, and local experts. This chapter specifically highlights the role of collaborative pilot projects in shaping territorial visions within the context of China’s “Ecological Civilization Construction” strategy.
