How Guangzhou Balances Nature Conservation and Urban Development in the Rapid Urbanization Process showcases how one of China's fastest-growing megacities has integrated ecological planning into urban development to protect biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience, and improve quality of life. As part of the GPSC City Good Practice Series, the compendium presents Guangzhou's approach to optimizing ecological networks, planning green infrastructure, and restoring natural ecosystems through integrated territorial planning. It also highlights practical examples—including the Haizhu Wetland, Nangang River, and Yadong River—that demonstrate how nature-based solutions can enhance urban resilience, support economic development, and promote harmonious coexistence between people and nature. The publication offers valuable insights for cities seeking to embed nature-positive approaches into urban planning and sustainable development.
