Abstract:
Dartford, a town in England, heavily relied on industrial production, particularly mining, which caused significant environmental pollution and geological damage. However, in recent years, several companies have collaborated under the guidance of the local authorities to reclaim the abandoned mine land in Dartford and develop it into homes, known as the Ebbsfleet Garden City project. This project is highly innovative as it not only focuses on environmental management but also provides potential economic benefits, employment opportunities, builds a sustainable and interconnected community, fosters urban development and brings people closer together. This paper presents a fascinating case that employs satellite imagery, statistical data, and Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC) calculations to analyse the re-vegetation progress of Dartford and the development of the Ebbsfleet Garden City project. The findings indicate that Dartford has successfully reclaimed and re-vegetated the mine land, maintaining a high vegetation cover level while the Ebbsfleet Garden City project has advanced. This suggests that Dartford is committed to environmental management and sustainable development while pursuing construction projects.
摘要:
达特福德,英国的一个小镇,严重依赖工业生产,特别是采矿,造成了严重的环境污染和地质破坏。然而,近年来,几家公司在地方当局的指导下合作,开垦了达特福德废弃的矿山,并将其开发为房屋,被称为Ebbsfleet花园城市项目。这个项目是高度创新的,因为它不仅注重环境管理,而且提供潜在的经济效益,就业机会,建立一个可持续和相互联系的社区,促进城市发展,拉近人们的距离。本文介绍了一个迷人的案例研究,采用卫星图像,统计数据,和部分植被覆盖(FVC)计算,以分析达特福德的植被重建进展和埃布斯弗利特花园城市项目的发展。研究结果表明,达特福德已成功地开垦并重新植被,在Ebbsfleet花园城市项目取得进展的同时,保持较高的植被覆盖水平。这表明达特福德在追求建设项目的同时致力于环境管理和可持续发展。
