Urban parks and urban green spaces have been highly recognized in the past two decades as having strategic importance in achieving urban sustainability. Research results reveal that ecological parks have become an emerging new model for urban parks and their development. While policy and practice increasingly consider ecological factors in park and landscape design, however, ecological park development has many viewpoints and pathways. This study reviews the origin and development of ecological parks in western countries as a baseline and reference to examine Asian experiences, and empirically investigates how ecological parks are proposed and developed in Taipei City to promote urban sustainability. This study addresses the importance of contextual analysis on the development of ecological parks in a city by focusing on the policy context, environmental context and social networks that intertwiningly shape the social-ecological landscapes of ecological parks in Taipei City. |
