Large?scale urban parks have been used as a concept for contemporary land?scape planning and design. These parks are intrinsically tied to the development ofcontemporary cities, the various conceptions of dynamic urban landscapes, and thesustainable, cost?effective, and process?oriented transformation of post?industrialsites.This book offers one of the first thorough analyses of contemporary large?scaleparks on post?industrial sites in North America, Germany, and China in light of theimportance of contemporary parks in the restoration, regeneration, and redevelop?ment of urban regions. This is done in an effort to reveal the essence, functions, char?acteristics, and potentials of parks on both a theoretical and practical level. We candiscover the force of landscape at the urban level, as well as the visions, attitudes, andbehaviors of contemporary park landscapes in various socio?cultural and ecologicalcontexts, through an in?depth analysis of North American organic parks, Germanstructuralistic parks, and Chinese shan?shui parks.In this book, large?scale parks and urban landscapes are explored in the contextof critical rationalism, which was proposed by Austrian?British philosopher and oneof the twentieth century’s most significant thinkers Karl Popper in 1957. This ap?proach can offer illustrative guidelines for selecting theories to examine rather thanhold fast to. This methodology is regarded as a scientific critical approach because ascientist, whether a theorist or investigator, presents statements or systems of claimsand tests them step by step (Popper1959). This is one way that the scientific exami?nation of landscape theories related to contemporary parks and cities is connected todoubt, criticism, and denial. Based on this approach, diverse conceptions of urbanlandscapes are explored, and some essential parameters of large?scale parks are de?fined in terms of their size, vision, conception, transformation, planning and designapproach, qualification and practice, through which the qualitative and quantitativeanalysis of different park paradigms are further manifested.1.1. Diverse Conceptions of Cities and Urban LandscapesEverything flows, and nothing is permanent. Cities and urban landscapes areconsistent with this pattern. The constant evolution of contemporary cities withrapid growth or gradual shrinkage around the world not only brings a variety ofopportunities for sustainable urban redevelopment and renewal but also great chal?lenges in terms of changing the urban spatial structure, society and ecology.Particularly, as the urban environment has shifted in the transition from an in?dustrial to post?industrial society, many technical terms conceived by specialists forcontemporary cities have emerged in the space?related fields (architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture, etc.) from the perspectives of urban structure (such asCompact City,Porous City), society (such asHealthy City,Park City) and ecology (suchasSponge City,Resilient City).
