International Symposium on Urban Stormwater Management
& Landscape Hydrology
2015.5.16-17 Beijing
Host:
National Supervision Board of Landscape Architecture Education (China)
School of Architecture, Tsinghua University
Theory and History Committee of Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture
Organizer:
Department of Landscape Architecture, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University
Co-organizer:
Research Center for Landscape Architecture, Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng Planning & Design Institute
Center for Urban Runoff Control & Stream Restoration, School of Environment, Tsinghua University
Water Resources Institute, Department of Hydraulic Engineering, Tsinghua University
Purpose
Many cities in China and all over the world have frequently encountered serious water
logging disasters in recent years, which heavily challenged the status quo of urban livability and
future sustainability. The main factors that caused these problems are the change of land
surfaces and regional hydrological cycle after urbanization, from which the increased
impermeable surfaces resulted in higher amounts of stormwater runoff and shorter convergence
time than before and led to steep peak and more frequent disasters.
Facing these threats, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China has
issued a technical guide in October, 2014 for building sponge cities, which advocates LID and
many other measures to mitigate stormwater impacts. Multiple professions and disciplines are
responsible for the stormwater management issues, from urban hydrology, water environmental
science, ecology, civil and water engineering, to urban planning and design, landscape
architecture and architecture, etc. From an overall perspective, all efforts should work together
toward the multi-winning benefits of SWM.
In order to enhance the communication and collaboration among multiple disciplines
related to SWM, the International Symposium on Urban Stormwater Management & Landscape
Hydrology will be held during May 16th-17th, 2015 at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. This
symposium will be hosted by the National Supervision Board of Landscape Architecture
Education (China), School of Architecture of Tsinghua University (SATU), and the Theory and
History Committee of Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture (THC-CHSLA), organized by the
Department of Landscape Architecture, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, and
co-organized by the Research Center for Landscape Architecture, Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng
Planning & Design Institute (THUPDI), Center for Urban Runoff Control & Stream Restoration,
School of Environment, Tsinghua University, and Water Resources Institute, Department of
Hydraulic Engineering, Tsinghua University.
This symposium is based on an integrated and interdisciplinary idea, Landscape Hydrology. It
advocates face-to-face brainstorming among hydrologists, ecologists, engineers, landscape
architects, urban planners, and designers on urban SWM issues. Many renowned national and
international experts and scholars will be presenting their achievements at this event. Scientists,
researchers, design practitioners, and managers focusing on SWM all over the world are welcome
to participate and share their experiences. With your participation, we believe that this event will
play a significant role in promoting further development and to strengthen the multi-disciplinary
cooperation of this field.
Topics
The major objective of this symposium is to strengthen multi-disciplinary collaboration and
stimulate innovative ideas and actions on SWM. By integrating water science and engineering
research with landscape planning and design practices, the symposium hopes to take the
opportunity of urban SWM to create multi-functional landscapes with ecological, social, and
aesthetic values. Below are potential topics for discussion during the symposium.
(1) SWM and Human Settlement History
Traditional urban flood control, river management and landscape strategies
Traditional rain harvesting and control techniques in architecture, settlement, landscape
and garden design
(2) Urban water science and engineering on SWM
Analysis and simulation of urban hydrological processes
Site-specific SWM strategies and technique optimization
Pollutant removal in SWM and public safety
Urban river system conservation, restoration, and SWM
Standards for urban flood control and storm drainage
(3) SWM-focused urban, architecture, and landscape design
Requirements of SWM for urban planning and design as well as land development and
construction
SWM-focused green building design research
Requirements of SWM for urban green space planning, design, construction, and
maintenance
SWM methods based on different climate conditions
Issues of seasonality, endurance, locality, and maintenance of SWM
Function and esthetics of SWM-based landscape design
(4) Standards, implementation, and performance evaluation of SWM
Standards for performance evaluation and maintenance of SWM facilities
Technical standards of SWM facilities
Construction costs of SWM landscape and facilities
