Difference from Ecological Landscape: People Need to Be Able to Access Here

A section of shoreline designed for human interaction with water. While ecological landscapes serve habitats with gentle slopes, mudflats, and restricted water access, urban waterfront revitalization focuses on enabling people to truly reach the water's edge—sitting on steps, touching the water with their feet, and watching boats pass. Both approaches typically coexist in the same project, zoned separately: one section for people, one for wildlife, with clear boundaries between them. Avoid: making the entire shoreline accessible hardscape, making the entire shoreline a restricted ecological zone, lacking clear boundaries between human and ecological zones, or placing water-friendly facilities in sensitive habitat sections.

一段以人與水接觸為目的的岸。生態景觀的水岸是為棲地服務的:緩坡、泥灘、不讓人進入的水域;都市濱水更新的核心是讓人能真的走到水邊——坐在階梯上、腳可以碰到水、看得到船經過。兩者在同一個案子裡通常分區並存:一段留給人、一段留給生物、中間有明確的界線。避免:把整段岸都做成人可進入的硬鋪面、把整段岸都做成禁止進入的生態區、讓人與生態的分區沒有清楚界線、在敏感的棲地段設置親水設施。
