Editor's note
The people's city is built by the people, and the people's city is for the people. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the People's City Concept. As the first place to mention the concept of people's city, in the past five years, Yangpu has deeply practiced the concept of people's city, insisted on leaving the best resources to the people, serving the people with the best supply, and successfully created a practical silhouette of practicing the concept of people's city. From now on, the Information Office of Yangpu District Government, People's Daily Online Shanghai, and Yangpu District Financial Media Center will launch the "People's City Yangpu Answer Sheet" to show a vivid picture of the city making life better.
Walking along the Yangpu Riverside in Shanghai, there is a magical building - "Green Hill".
Yangpu Riverside
Spiral staircases meander upwards and cascading platforms are covered with greenery, pedestrians stroll through them, and cars pass by...... This multi-storey three-dimensional square, which looks like a "steel forest", was once a machine repair warehouse for a tobacco company. Nowadays, the old building has been gorgeously turned into a "hanging garden" on the bank of the Yangpu Riverside, a check-in place for many tourists.
Back on November 2, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yangpu Binjiang during his inspection in Shanghai, affirmed Yangpu District's practice of scientifically transforming the riverside space and creating a place for public leisure activities for the masses, and put forward the "people's city built by the people, and the people's city for the people", which profoundly revealed the people's nature of a socialist city with Chinese characteristics, profoundly answered the fundamental question of who and for whom the construction and development of urban construction and development, and profoundly answered the major proposition of what kind of city to build and how to build a city. It points out the way forward and provides a fundamental guide for Yangpu, which is in a critical period of innovation and development.

Let this riverside "new to history"
Yangpu Riverside is located at the eastern end of the Huangpu River shoreline and is the cradle of China's modern industry. China's earliest mechanical paper mill, the earliest modern waterworks, and the largest thermal power plant in the Far East were all born here. With the industrial transformation and upgrading, the old industrial relics along the Yangpu Riverside have been "retired" one after another, and vacant land and abandoned factories have become obstacles for citizens to get close to the water.
With a total length of 15.5 kilometers along the Yangpu Riverside, how can an "industrial rust belt" be transformed?
Zhang Ming, designer of "Green Hill" and head of the Department of Landscape Architecture at Tongji University, said that the development of the city should not be overturned and rebuilt, but should be superimposed like negatives, becoming more and more abundant. We are determined to "return the river to the people" and make this riverside "new to history".
Therefore, on the basis of preserving the industrial relics, the design team rebuilt it with "green" coloring to reassign value. Update in Protection, Protect in Update. Today, the rust of the century-old factory has been brought to life, and the once barren waterfront space has been revitalized.

A new life "show" was bringed, and the former Xiangtai Muxing became the people's urban construction planning exhibition hall; At that time, the original production site of the "largest soap factory in the Far East" was transformed into an Internet celebrity café; The original 17th National Cotton Factory is now the Shanghai International Fashion Center full of tourists...... After the revitalization and utilization of Yangpu Riverside, the best resources will be returned to the people, and undertake the mission of the new era, telling every tourist the depth and majesty of China's industrial development.

In Shanghai, industrial aesthetics and Shanghainese style are intertwined into a "hardcore romance". The industrial heritage expo belt, the original landscape experience belt, and the "three belts" are intertwined with vitality, presenting a world-class waterfront space and becoming a "living room of the world".

Leave the best resources to the people
Yangpu has always insisted on leaving the best resources to the people, leaving more public space and green space to the people, so that every corner of the riverside is worthy of nostalgia and yearning. Yangpu Riverside, which has transformed from an "industrial rust belt" to a "life show belt", is currently upgrading to build a "model room" for people's city construction. So how to make the visitors excited, the viewers happy, and the residents happy?
In recent years, Yangpu District has successively launched the construction of five demonstration areas, including the National Demonstration Zone for the Protection and Utilization of Cultural Relics, the Child-Friendly Public Space Demonstration Zone, the Park City Pilot Demonstration Zone, the "World Meeting Room" All-for-One Tourism Characteristic Demonstration Zone, and the Space Barrier-free Innovation Demonstration Zone. The five demonstration areas are different in dimension, but closely related, and they are all ideal scenes to explore people's lives, so that everyone can live poetically in Yangpu.
"There are new scenery on the banks of the riverside all year round, and every shot is a blockbuster." 72-year-old Dai Yiling ran to Yangpu Riverside every other day to take pictures. "In front of it was the 17th National Cotton Factory, and now it is the Shanghai International Fashion Center; What was a sugar silo is now a landmark public space along the riverfront. ”

Leave the best resources to the people. Renewed in protection, protected in renewal, strolling along the Yangpu Riverside, a building that looks like a semi-hollow "wooden box" comes into view. It is the Yangpu Binjiang People's Urban Construction Planning Exhibition Hall, which was rebuilt from the site of Xiangtai Wood Bank with a history of 100 years. Nowadays, it has become an important space for citizens to play, rest, learn and communicate.

"I have personally experienced the gorgeous transformation of the Yangpu Binjiang Bridge section, and I am also here to collect people's suggestions for the development of the riverside, and help the riverside become more enjoyable, travel-friendly and business-friendly." Zhang Qian, the docent of the exhibition hall, said.
Today, Yangpu Riverside has become a popular check-in point for citizens. In recent years, Yangpu has made every effort to create a "World Meeting Room" all-for-one tourism characteristic demonstration area, focusing on improving Yangpu Binjiang's more people-friendly spatial image, more convenient people-oriented service reputation, more beneficial cultural and tourism consumption activity, and more people-friendly safety experience satisfaction, and is committed to building Yangpu Binjiang into a modern demonstration model of urban tourism governance.

In the past five years, the "small but beautiful" on the production, life and ecological shoreline can be seen everywhere in Yangpu Binjiang, and tens of thousands of citizens have written a vivid footnote of the people's city in Yangpu Binjiang.
The tide is wide on both sides, and the future can be expected
At present, the development momentum of the riverside is unprecedented. Meituan Shanghai Science and Technology Center, Bilibili New Generation Industrial Park, and Douyin Group's Shanghai Binjiang Center projects have started one after another. Among the commercial projects under construction, the Binjiang Chuangzhi Center will be basically completed and put into use by 2026.

Nesting attracts phoenixes, flowers bloom and butterflies come. After transforming from an "industrial rust belt" to a "life show belt", along with the gradual acceleration of the development along the riverside, Yangpu has integrated the concepts of park city, all-age friendly, all-for-one tourism, and waterfront linkage into the Yangpu riverside space design, building a waterfront space where history and modernity blend and interact, and production and life ecology integrate and coexist.
On both sides of Yangshupu Road, the endless industrial relics have found a new "way to open", and the headquarters buildings of many leading domestic and foreign enterprises are in full swing. In recent years, Yangpu has held a number of high-level conferences, from the Yangpu Riverside Global Promotion Conference in 2023 to this year's Yangpu Riverside World Future Waterfront Summit. Today's Yangpu Riverside has a strong industry, a scarce water system, and valuable genes of a green ecological city, forming a "strong magnetic field" for gathering talents, and becoming an ideal "habitat" for talents to innovate and start a business.
On September 29th, the Yangpu branch of the Shanghai International Light and Shadow Festival opened in Yangpu Binjiang
In the past, "I heard the river but did not see the river", but now the tide is flat and the banks are wide, and the future here can be expected. It will be built into a world-class waterfront urban renewal model that is suitable for living, working, playing and traveling. Yangpu will take a more open attitude and a more pragmatic style to better serve enterprises and make every effort to build the warmest urban area with the business environment; better retain talents, and jointly create a "talent show belt" near and far; better gather joint forces, take scientific and technological innovation as the guide, and accelerate the cultivation of new quality productivity; Better strengthen cooperation and work together to create a better future for Yangpu Riverside's world-class waterfront.
