Abstract

[Over the past 30 years, cities have been the main carrier of economic development. Extensive economic growth mode and excessive investment in land development have led to serious “urban problems”, such as overcrowding, dependence on a single industry, environmental pollution, ecological deterioration, energy crisis and a lack of cultural diversity and identity. These urban problems lead to the question “How can cities be ecologically sustainable and socially harmonious, while developing a strong economy?” This is one of the main questions for China’s cities that are in the process of high-speed urbanization. By studying America’s urban transition, this paper proposes the potential role for green infrastructure to promote China’s urban transition. Finally this paper uses the case of Dongguan National Wetland Park to study its role to promote the urban transition of Dongguan City. First, this paper will study Dongguan National Wetland Park’s necessity of existence in Dongguan, which has experienced serious conflicts between ecology, society and economic development. Then, we study the potential role of Dongguan National Wetland Park in the urban transition of Dongguan City. Finally, we analyze and conclude the mechanism and pattern of Dongguan National Wetland Park in promoting Dongguan city transition, and we discuss the general meaning and value of this mechanism and pattern to other cities in China.]
