Abstract

This article, from a contemporary and modern perspective, discusses the characteristics, practices, and future trends of sustainable ecological landscape design. It reviews the origins of sustainable ecological design, emphasizing it as a product of reflection on environmental protection and the negative impacts of industrialization. The article elaborately discusses the core characteristics of sustainable ecological design, such as respect for local ecology, effective use of resources, and minimization of environmental impact. Subsequently, through specific cases, it demonstrates the application of these concepts in contemporary and modern landscape design, particularly in the use of native plants, water resource management, enhancement of ecosystem services, and community participation. Finally, the article anticipates new challenges and opportunities facing sustainable ecological design and points out that future design will focus more on technological innovation, interdisciplinary cooperation, and public education.
