Location Analysis

China

Zunyi, where the project is located, is a city characterized by a superior ecological environment. However, in recent years, the remarkable urban expansion poses a significant threat to cities and their surrounding natural environment. This arboretum is one of the areas under threat close to the city centre.

It is located in the north part of the old city district. Due to lack of management and disorderly development, less than 15 per cent of the site is preserved with good flora and ecology; much of the land is abandoned farmland, villages and wetlands. Additionally, urban sprawl and village decay are also challenging the future of the arboretum.

Site Analysis

2.6% 12.7% Village

5.4% 24.4% Farmland

There is a reservoir on the site which is the water source of the whole city. In order to protect water quality and ecological conservation forests, the government has decided to move out all villages and residents by 2030. They hope to continue to improve the ecological environment of the arboretum and meet the needs of citizens for leisure and recreation.
