摘要：This study explores the effects of land use planning on the Yangtze ecosystem and suggests a framework for incorporating ecological information into land use planning in order to achieve sustainability. The discussion is based on the insights and experiences from the Wuhan city section of the Yangtze River Basin. In China, unprecedented industrialisation and urbanisation have made the Yangtze one of the world`s top 10 rivers at risk, its major threat being pollution. Incidences of pollution are ongoing and in many cases increasing. The momentum of the country`s population growth, together with the imperative of further economic development, implies that pollution in the Yangtze will worsen before it gets better. Thus, linking ecological information to the planning process is imperative to achieve sustainable development.
