Abstract
The low impact development (LID) approach has been recommended as a significant innovation in urban planning and design, which can mitigate the effects of flooding, runoff pollution, water resource shortage and ecology deterioration, and can also promote sustainable utilization of urban water resources and virtuous cycle of water system. Guangming New District, Shenzhen City was ranked as the first national LID demonstration area by Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The overall scheme of LID demonstration area in Guangming New District was formulated for the construction of LID demonstration area, the work of which will be divided into three stages. By the end of June 2012, with the stringently implementing of this overall scheme, some substantial progresses had been made on the LID demonstration area planning and construction, technical specification formulation, and basic research.
