  1. Spatial Transformation Mechanism in Rapid Rural Urbanization Process • The Urban Landscape of Pearl River Delta as a Case Study PhD candidate: Xiong Liang Promoter: Prof.dr.ir. Han Meyer Daily supervisor: Steffen Nijhuis Delft University of Technology Faculty of Architecture Department of Urbanism U-LAB L.Xiong@tudelft.nl

  2. China Pearl River Delta Southeast China • What if you built the whole mass of western Europe in 20 years? • What if 400 million farmers then moved in? • What if it happened between now and 2020? ——Neville Mars 何新城

  3. Pearl River: Basin 425,700 km2 , Length 2055 km Discharge 302 km3. /y, Sedimentation83 mt/ y,

  4. Pearl River Delta: Area 42,831.5 km21 NL Inhabitant 47.9 Million3 NL 11 municipalities: 69% urbanized River dominated Tide dominated Wave dominated

  5. Pearl River Delta 30 years Inhabitants 1.5 millions /yr Buildup area 82.1 km2 /yr • The population of PRD in 1990, 2000 and 2010

  6. Urbanization phenomena • Rural Urbanization: Industrialization and urbanization focused in rural areas.(Lin, 1997).

  7. Research Question How the urban landscape developed in the rapid rural urbanization process of PRD? Sub Question: • Which spatial elements involved? • How the involved elements interact? • What is the historical spatial transformation mechanism? • What are the difference between the past and current mechanism? • How the mechanisms change? • What are the difference with other urbanized deltas? • What are the casual factors make them different? • Key Words: Rural Urbanization, Urban Landscape, Pearl River Delta, Design Research, Typological Research, Spatial Transformation Mechanism,

  8. Layer Approach • Occupation • Infrastructure • Landscape (Meyer, Nijhuis,2010)

  9. 0 • Strategic river cross. • No settlements in islands. • Delta not affected by settlements.

  10. Strategic region position. • Settled on islands. • Settlement affect the delta. 1300

  11. 2000 • Spread without landscape. • large reclamation lands. • Settlement dominated the formation of the delta.

  12. Occupation spread through landscape

  13. Dike system 1279- 1945 Water infrastructure spread through landscape

  14. Road Infrastructure spread through Water Infrastructure

  15. Sustainable development 1990 1300 0 2006 Fight Consume Overcome Understand nature, Manage nature & ourselves

  16. urban deltas (Meyer, Nijhuis,2010)
