| The green landscape is the only vital element in the landscape of a city. It is significant for a city' s environment and sustainable development as well as for a multitude of recreational, cultural and education functions. Chongqing Yuzhong peninsula has the advantage of being surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, however, the city lacks green space. The Yuzhong peninsula government has realized the importance of green space for the city's image. Design competitions to enhance green space were held for Yuzhong peninsula in which most of the projects combined the soul of Bayu culture with elements from abroad. Vancouver is a famous garden city often voted number one in terms of quality of life. The city has a beautiful environment and abundant green landscape. The center of Vancouver, a downtown peninsula, has a similar natural environment, as well as regional and economic status as Chongqing's Yuzhong peninsula. The internationally recognized green landscape of Vancouver can thus be used as a measuring stick for the development of Yuzhong peninsula towards a greener environment. This thesis compares the green landscapes of Chongqing Yuzhong peninsula and Vancouver downtown peninsula and aims at finding the measures necessary to improve the green landscape of Yuzhong peninsula.
