Abstract
Background: With the increasing prominence of global warming and environmental degradation issues, China has also issued corresponding policies. At present, there are still shortcomings domestically in integrating low-carbon concepts with public facilities and modern intelligent technologies to create innovative parks.Objective: This article aims to break away from the traditional park model and create a comprehensive ecological space that integrates ecology, environmental protection, and science popularization.Methods: Through literature analysis, field research, and case studies, with people’s needs as the key, a sustainable development design framework is proposed.Results: By restructuring the functional space, theme nodes such as “Carbon Active Square” and “Low-Carbon Exhibition Hall” were established, and ecological circulation systems like rain gardens, solar energy, and energy-generating exercise equipment were introduced. This not only improves the urban living environment but also raises public awareness of low-carbon lifestyles.Conclusion: This article integrates the concept of low carbon and smart technologies into waterfront park landscape design, representing a new direction for urban green development. It provides pioneering and inspirational design methods and practical references for urban waterfront areas, and has a positive significance in promoting the application of low-carbon concepts in urban construction.
