Site Location
The site in Linkou District lies at the edge where the city meets natural parks, making it a vital transition zone between urban development and ecological landscapes.

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.











The project planning and design fully aligns with performance-driven principles, employing a projection-based focus to maximise Natural Capital gains. Continuous digital monitoring underscores our commitment to data-driven urban natural capital initiatives.
