The re-use and the domestication of nature in abandoned areas is becoming a theme of increasing relevance in European (and Italian) public debate. This article uses Gilles Clément's concept of 'third landscape' to understand the transformation of an urban salt works into a public park. Salt production in Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) was suspended in 1984 because of pollution from urban sewage. Some years after abandonment, the state salt works eventually became a public park. People frequented the area before its establishment and eventually the salt works became a place for running, canoeing, walking, biking, birdwatching and other outdoor activities. The article shows how this abandoned area became a park and heritage site, though stakeholder support. It analyzes the local discourse that continues to represent and protect the area as 'green,' where nature can be enjoyed, despite its industrial heritage.Keywords: salt works, wetlands, coastal parks, European coastal cities, Sardinia

Based on the TM remote sensing images in autumn 1992, 2001 and 2009, the land use change of Binhai New Area is analyzed through the ENVI software. During remote sensing images processed, Binhai New Area is collected according to the administrative zoning maps. The results of land use change are vegetation cover and water changing little, which show the ecological environment remained stable in overall Binhai New Area. At that time, the area of unused land and salt works area is reduced, and the area of land reclamation and construction sites is increased, which indicates the rapid economic development of Binhai new area in past 20 years.
