Abstract: As the demand for materials in urban landscapes increases, the changes in urban landscapes are becoming more and more intense. This paper studies the application of ecologically sustainable materials in urban landscape construction. Firstly, the theoretical basis of the application of ecologically sustainable materials in landscape is expounded. Then, the application of ecologically sustainable materials in urban landscape is visualised and analysed through interactive genetic algorithm, and compared with the application of disposable materials in urban landscape. The results show that the average landscape reconstruction resolution and visual reconstruction quality of the 15 sets of design drawings drawn based on ecologically sustainable materials were 93.2% and 90.5% respectively, which were higher than 87.1% and 87.1% based on disposable materials. Therefore, applying ecologically sustainable materials to urban landscape construction can not only improve aesthetics and reduce resource and financial consumption, but also promote sustainable development.

Keywords: urban landscape; landscape construction; ecological sustainable materials; material application; interactive genetic algorithm.
