Context and Concept. Historically, Hangzhou is famous for its scenic landscapes, poetry, and tea cultivation. Today the city is highly urbanized with some protected national parks, but vastly reduced green space overall. Hangzhou’s rising population has pushed the urban boundaries outward, where city dwellers seek space to breathe, exercise, and engage with each other and the natural beauty that surrounds them.
