This pioneering book establishes the theoretical framework of Terrapoetic Urbanism, integrating human geography, urban planning, and landscape architecture to decode the co-evolutionary mechanisms of traditional Chinese "mountain-water-city" systems. Through case studies on hydraulic engineering, urban design, and landscape cultivation, it introduces the innovative Spatiotemporal Overlay Mapping Method, combining 30+ hand-drawn reconstructions with GIS models to unveil the Jiangnan region's wisdom in achieving "human-nature coordination." The book proposes two groundbreaking tools—the Resilience Assessment Matrix for Regional Landscape Systems and Adaptive Transformation Pathways for Traditional Techniques—providing actionable strategies for ecological urban design and cultural heritage conservation. By reinterpreting 200+ historical interventions into modern practices, it bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary spatial planning. A vital interdisciplinary guide for urban planners, landscape architects, and heritage researchers, this book redefines sustainable urbanization through China's terrapoetic legacy, offering both theoretical rigor and practical methodologies.
