Abstract:Border space greening is an important factor of open urban parks and an important measure to connect parks and urban green space systems. Taking Guangzhou Tianhe Park’s “demolition and greening” project as an example, this paper analyzes the problems of boundary space greening such as insufficient permeability, low integration with the city, lack of regional culture, and inadequate management of green space. The project adopts the landscape strategy of “preserving, clearing, and restoring green” to determine three greening models of greenspots, green belts and patches of green space, and to develop three space separation methods of “guardrail combined with greening”, greening group, and “micro terrain combined with greening group”. At the same time, greening improvement is carried out from six aspects, namely, the selection of greening plant species, the penetration of plant spatial structure, the activation of negative space under the forest, the softening of park boundary space, the strengthening of urban regional culture, and the strengthening of space greening management, which has optimized the ecological environment and openness of the park.
