序一
十年前组建景观院时的一切都好像就在昨天，可现在景观院已经把他们在祖国大地上的作品分类、汇集成书了。说实话，这是我的希望，也是我的要求，他们做到了。有一点要告诉大家的是：他们的成功超出了我的预期，尽管他们自己还有许多的不满意。
水是生命的起源，人类组成的很大比例是水。人在其出生之前就已经和水有非常亲密的接触。本书以滨水景观为主题，实际上体现出景观设计以人为本的观念。人们无论是生活居住还是工作休闲，都喜欢临水，更喜欢依山傍水。
现代城市是人类文明发展和进步的产物。景观规划师、建筑师在规划与设计的实践中，必须尊重和顺应人与自然的和谐共生关系，对于大自然的地形、水系、植被呵护并加以科学美化的整理。这是规划设计者们唯一应该做的事。只有这样，城市的景观、生态，才能符合人们可持续发展的生活和发展要求，成为理想的家园，而要完成这样的规划设计需要的是多专业和多学科的“协同”和“整合”，不同的专业学科在“大自然”这个平台上互通融合。
本书是上海市政总院景观院十年努力和付出的总结。通过书中的这些案例我们可以看到，通过景观设计能够有效地解决城市发展中许多方面的问题。景观专业作为“一条线索”把这些问题串起来，以顺应自然、热爱自然、保护自然的态度来对待。把设计对自然的尊重和敬畏，通过对自然的研究和认识。用设计手法表现出来，通过工程展现出来，希望通过本书和同行交流心得，推进专业发展。

Foreword
It feels like yesterday the whole picture of establishing the institute ten years ago.Now our institute has categorized the works of our motherland and compiled them into a book.To be honest，this is my hope as well as my requirement.And they have succeeded.One thing I want to tell you is that，though they feel like they have a lot to be improved，their achievement has exceeded far beyond my expectations.As the origin of life，water accounted for a large proportion of the constitution of human being.Before birth，man had been very intimate with water.Taking the waterfronts landscape as the theme，this book is a reflection of the people—oriented concept of landscape design.Whether to live，to work，or to enjoy the leisure time，people like their places to be surrounded by water，or by water and mountains.
Modern city is the product of human civilization and progress.Landscape planners and architects must，in their planning and design practice，respect and comply with the harmonious coexistence between man andnature，as well as protect and make scientific plans about the topography，water，vegetation of nature.This is the fundamental rule that designers should adhere to.Only in this way can the landscape and ecology of the city meet the living and development needs of people's sustainable development，thus making it to become an ideal home.To accomplish that，the "synergy"and "integration"among multi—specialties and multi—disciplinaries on the platform of “Nature”are needed.
This book is a showcase of decades of efforts and dedication of Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute.Through these cases，we can see that landscape design can effectively solve the problems in urban development.Landscape profession，as "a clue"strings together these issues with the attitude of adapting to nature，loving nature and protecting nature.It shows its respect and reverence for nature in a designed way through the study and researches of nature and its projects，in the hope of exchanging ideas with peer through this book，thus promoting the professional development.

序二
上海市政工程设计研究总院景观设计研究院有一支朝气蓬勃、敬业务实、努力拼搏的年轻人组成的设计团队。他们走南闯北，成绩卓著。就滨水景观设计而言，足迹遍及长江、浦江、珠江、湘江、赣江、甬江、钱江……一路走来他们的设计深得各地领导和广大市民的好评。其作品屡获国际、国内的重大奖项。在当前强手如林，竞争十分激烈的年代，市政园林景观设计研究院仅短短十年就取得如此骄人的业绩真是令人钦佩！
市政景观设计院的年轻人即勤奋好学，团结合作，充分发挥其团队精神和主观能动性，又“巧于因借”。他们借助市政总院对市政工程雄厚的综合设计实力来实施学科的跨界整合，把城市规划、建筑设计、工程设计、环境艺术等学科紧密地联系起来，把滨水景观设计做到了极致。他们又与国外优秀的设计团队合作，巧借国外的先进理念和宝贵经验与当地的实际紧密结合，使设计方案科学先进，不落俗套。
为了向上海市政设计研究总院成立六十周年献上一份厚礼，特将已经实施的20个各种类型的滨水景观设计案例汇编成《回归的江河》一书。《回归的江河》是一本介绍优秀滨水景观设计的工程技术书，又如一部诗集，一部散文集，因为每个案例犹如一首美妙的诗篇。每个章节又都讲述了一个动人的故事。读来十分生动流畅。
“长江后浪推前浪，一浪更比一浪高。”从《回归的江河》中我们可以清晰地看到市政景观院突飞猛进的轨迹，从中可以看到这些年轻人的努力和艰辛。真为他们取得的成绩而欣喜！
我深信《回归的江河》的出版一定会深受广大读者的赞赏，并从中获得启迪和借鉴。

Foreword
The Landscape Design and Research Institute of Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute have a vibrant，dedicated and pragmatic design team of hard working young people.Traveling extensively，they have made outstanding achievements.They have toured the Yangtze River，Pearl River，the Xiang River，Gan River，Yong River，and Qian River for seafront landscape designs .Their designs have won praise over the leadership and the general public.Their works have won domestic and international major awards.In current highly competitive era with numerous strong competitors，the Design and Research Institute have achieved such impressive achievements in only ten years，which is really admirable！
Young generations in the Landscape Design Institute are studious，united and cooperative，giving full play to their team spirit and initiative，and are "both inherent and innovative."They have utilized the comprehensive strength of the institute for municipal projects to implement cross—border integration of design disciplines，and linked closely the urban planning，architectural design，engineering design，environmental art and other disciplines，so as to perfect their seafront landscape designs.They also cooperate with foreign outstanding design teams，learn and integrate advanced concepts and valuable experience with the local circumstances，making the design advanced and innovative.We have compiled 20representative design cases of various types into the book The Return of Rivers as a gift to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute.The Return of Rivers is an excellent engineering and technology book about seafront landscape design.It is also like a collection of poems or of essays for each case is like a wonderful poem，and each chapter also tells a moving story which is vivid and smooth.
"Waves pushed forward waves，the young outdoes the master."From The Return of Rivers，we can clearly see the rapid development of the institute and the efforts of the young generation.I am truly proud of their achievements！
