The "Peach Blossom Spring", a city intertwined with blue and green and full of flowers, is slowly unfolding in Taopu Town, Putuo District.
A few days ago, the "Guidelines for the Planning and Construction of Taopu Park in Taopu Park" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") jointly launched by the Taopu Town Government and the Shanghai Landscape Design and Research Institute was officially released. According to the guidelines, Taopu Town will enhance the value of urban space in an all-round way from the five directions of ecology, culture, popular science, economy and art, and update and build from multiple dimensions such as urban green space system, cultural brand in the town, dynamic blocks, and interactive art decoration, so as to create a park-like town with Taopu's characteristic blue and green space.
What are the highlights of this park town?
"Park+" improves the construction of urban parks
Weaving a dense network of parks
The green coverage rate of Taopu Town is 31.25%, and the per capita public green area is 31.25 square meters, far exceeding the per capita public green space area of Shanghai (8.8 square meters). With an excellent ecological background, how to truly integrate green into the Taopu area that is transforming and developing?
"We must not only grasp the economic transformation, but also grasp the green ecology. In the eyes of Wu Chenhai, Secretary of the Party Committee of Taopu Town, economic development and green ecology are the indispensable "two cards" for Taopu's transformation. According to the guidelines, Taopu will coordinate the construction and quality improvement of the park. For example, in addition to increasing the total amount of green, we should increase and optimize the supply of ecological public goods, so that the construction of green space will shift from "green belt" to "park belt", and realize the transition from "one beauty" to "one piece of beauty".
Specifically, it will strengthen the construction of 22 series of characteristic community parks such as Cedar Road Community Park, promote the green construction of blind spots in areas with high population density, and promote the integration of parks and community service facilities;

"+ Park" to build a vibrant and open urban space
In addition to increasing the overall coverage area of the park, according to the guidelines, Taopu will also fully consider the functional demands of pedestrians, residents, commuters and other groups in the planning and construction of urban blocks with the concept of "+ park", and integrate multiple functions such as leisure and recreation, commercial consumption and cultural creativity on the basis of forming a green and suitable barrier-free traffic environment, so as to build a dynamic and open urban space.
The reporter learned that in the project planning of "Peach Blossom Spring", the cultural characteristics of Taopu were fully considered. It will enhance the application of the design elements of the town flower "peach blossom" in the urban space, and strengthen the ornamental characteristic plants of the Rosaceae family, which is dominated by peach blossoms. The configuration of nearly 50 different peach blossom varieties will be dotted in the blue and green space of Taopu in the form of point scenes, forming an urban plant landscape featuring the theme of "fragrant grass and colorful falling flowers". At the same time, it will also support the expansion of Taopu city tour routes such as "Tracing Taopu", "Taoxi Zhigu" and "Ecological Xiancha" to promote the development of regional cultural tourism industry and derivative industries.

In addition, in light of the needs of the new era of Taopu's economic development, the guidelines also specifically state that it is necessary to build a green park that integrates innovation. Among them, special emphasis is placed on classifying and guiding the layout of green space in the park. For example, in terms of the total amount of greening, the total amount of greening in industrial parks is classified and guided: it is recommended that the green space rate of scientific and technological innovation parks and business office parks reach 30%, and the green coverage rate of manufacturing parks and logistics parks is recommended to reach 20% under the premise of ensuring the safety of production and operation.
