ABSTRACT：This study is the continuation of the author’s 30-year exploration of territorial planning and urban ecological security. It proposes a Chinese model for climate resilience in territorial and urban spaces defined by three dimensions: nature-based philosophy, ecology-based spatial patterns, and ecological engineering technologies and infrastructure that are aligned with the principle of “following nature’s course”. Rooted in China’s millennia-old monsoon culture and traditional ecological wisdom, this model has been scientifically and modularly designed and then tested in over 200 cities across the country. By regulating water process and constructing integrated ecological infrastructure, it has achieved multiple objectives, including protecting and restoring ecological environment, controlling floods, droughts, and urban heat islands, flexibly addressing tidal surges, naturally purifying water and soil, and providing shelters. These efforts have significantly enhanced climate resilience in territorial and urban spaces. This model demonstrates the feasibility of transitioning global climate strategies from a carbon emission-centered, single-focus approach to a holistic climate resilience framework centered on land-based and water-driven process. In light of the increasingly “monsoon-like” global climate pattern and the escalating disaster frequency, this Chinese model holds profound significance for global development.
