城市荒野:夹缝中的自然与机遇

Urban Wilderness: Nature and the Potential in the Urban Cracks

城市荒野是普遍存在于城市系统夹缝中的自然,可提供野生动植物生境及自然游憩地等,蕴藏着提升城市生态韧性的重要机遇。一方面,前所未有的城市化进程和公众的负面假设造成了城市荒野的不断缩减;另一方面,自然过程重新主导因工业衰退和城市收缩而产生的闲置土地,再野化理念与技术也逐步发展,突显了重建和激活城市荒野景观的巨大潜力。随着生态文明建设、"山-水-林-田-湖-草"生命共同体统筹协调,以及"基于自然的解决方案"在中国的不断推进,当前正是我们深入认知城市荒野、辨识其内涵与价值、构建认同并开展保护与修复实践的最佳时机。

Urban wilderness is the remnant nature existing within the cracks of urban context,which can provide habitats for wildlife and natural recreation areas,with significance in optimizing urban ecological resilience.On the one hand,the unprecedented urbanization processes and the public’s negative hypotheses on the concept have caused continuous reduction of urban wilderness;on the other hand,opportunities are seen in reconstructing and activating urban wilderness when natural processes return to dominate the idle lands resulting from industrial recession and urban shrinkage,and the rewilding concept and techniques develop gradually.With ecological civilization construction,the initiative of a systematic management of the mountains,waters,forests,farmlands,lakes,and grasslands,and the advance of adopting Nature-Based Solutions in China,it is the best time to acknowledge urban wilderness in depth,identify its connotations and values,construct identity recognition,and carry out practices of conservation and restoration.
