    Design Scope

    Plot 1 is to demonstrate how a 0.5 ha food waste processing plant can enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services even in compact urban settings.This systematic approach aims to enhance Natural Capital performance across diverse urban landscapes.


    Plot 2 serves as a 2–3 ha forest transitional zone bridging urban life and nature. Through baseline surveys and Natural Capital assessments, we aim to shape restoration and conservation strategies that embody our commitment to sustainable integration.
