WATER URBANISM MASTER STUDIO Suzhou, Yangtze River Delta metropolis, China Thesis topic: Water cleansing mechanism through “infrascape� in Wujiang city, Suzhou, China
The Yangtze River Delta is a water-dominated productive landscape, which has over time been considerably modified in response to human needs. Topographic interventions, such as cut and fill, have enabled the simultaneous creation of polders, canals and raised settlements. Today, these interventions are more frequent in order to meet the growing needs of urbanization and industrialization. Flood risks resulting from the loss of water storage capacity and ground
12
permeability have so far been successfully managed by hard-engineering structures such as dykes, water gates, and pumps, but this has had impacts on water quality which is not being thoroughly addressed, and is becoming a serious health issue. With new threats such as sea level rise and climate change adding to the existing drainage and pollution issues, how far will hard-engineering systems be able to resist the powers of nature?

corridor pollution impact
Water pollution in the corridor is caused by the urbanization, heavy industrial presence in the city, and aquacultural and agricultural activity. While aquacultural and agricultural activity play a big role in contributing to the water pollution problem, their presence within the urban limits are limited. Moreover, hard engineered and controlled water systems, and flood gates control the issue in certain parts, but add stress on other areas, further increasing pollution level. Due to this, the corridor’s sponge territory and water network has different qualities and levels of pollution. Many parts of the corridor are polluted with levels above three. Taihu Lake, a significant fresh water body is at a pollution level of three; the Grand Canal has the highest water pollution
level within the corridor. This is incredibly significant as the Grand Canal is connected to the Taipu River which is the main source of drinking water supply for the Shanghai region. The flow of water in the Grand Canal coming from the north is both influenced by a ‘plate-like’ topography and also by engineered gates and canals that further introduces flow from the west to East. The water pollution level of the Grand Canal which is out of scale is one of the primary sources of pollution to the corridor while also a receiver of pollution from the city. This makes Wujiang city and the area linking to the Grand Canal an ideal location for an intervention that mitigates water pollution levels throughout the region.

LOCAL AND REGIONAL STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE - FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Densification in the existing city While the three strategies work simultaneously to provide one coherent system, the design of the strategy of densification through new tissue typology is largely influenced by the objective of localizing stormwater management through blue-green
16
infrastructure. The available land for further development and densification is then limited by the creation of a Mega Park system, requiring a shift in building rights, (due to the consumption of available semi-developed land) primarily towards southern city
