With the acceleration of urbanization, the incongruity between urban construction and nature is becoming more and more prominent. The increasing population and the limitation of land use in Macau have become the main issues in urban development. There are still a number of vacant spaces that have not been developed and eventually wasted due to various reasons, affecting the overall image of the city and the health of the residents. Facing the dilemma of shortage of land resources, can the landscaping of vacant space provide a new direction for the development of urban greening? This paper investigates the current situation of the use of urban vacant space in Macau, combs and analyzes relevant literatures at home and abroad, as well as proposes solutions worthy of reference for the landscaping of vacant space, among which developing temporary landscapes in Macau is efficient and economical, in hope that more people will begin to pay attention to the rational use of vacant space and landscape development of these spaces in Macau.
