english: So instead of bulldozing, leveling the site and building right up to the river, this green edge was something that really wasn't normative in China until these set of practices began experimentation there.
non_english: Dus in plaats van de plek plat te walsen en vol te bouwen tot aan de rivier -- zo'n groenstrook was echt iets ongewoons in China totdat er met deze principes werd geëxperimenteerd.
