Background. In the early 1990s, Three Gorges Project was launched on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which finally caused about 1.13 million people moving into new towns. Built in 1992, Yunyang is such a "Migrant Town". Located on a triangular hillside zone where Yangtze River meets Pengxi River, it sits just aside the bank of Three Gorges Reservoir, whose annual vertical fluctuation is up to 30 meters. Began in 2014, landscape architects firstly completed the overall planning of 33-kilometer’s waterfront public space with a total area of 448 hectares (44% of which are located in the water-level fluctuation zone). Then, the design of the 10-kilometer waterfront space surrounding the city center was proposed, and was eventually completed in 2021.
