How to embark on the road of "butterfly change"
The riverside space has been revitalized, and it is livable and touristy to "promote the protection of use"
Yangpu Riverside is an important part of the comprehensive development of both sides of the Pujiang River in Shanghai, which has witnessed the development process of Shanghai and even China's modern industry. Nowadays, many of the old factories left over from modern times have been transformed into new multi-functional three-dimensional spaces that play an important role... The butterfly change from "industrial rust belt" to "life show belt" allows surrounding residents not only to "see", but also to "enter", but also to "stay here".
Yangpu adheres to the concept of "post-industry, new century", mainly retains, and has successively implemented a number of historical building repair and transformation projects such as Maoma Warehouse and Minghua Sugar Warehouse. The old factory building has a new look with the imprint of the times and continues to write new stories. It is understood that a total of 24 historical buildings with a total construction area of 262,000 square meters and a large number of other century-old industrial relics have been preserved in the core area of the southern section of binjiang. In order to attract more citizens to visit Yangpu Riverside, in September 2019, the 5.5-kilometer public space of The Southern Section of Yangpu Riverside was opened. Not only that, all kinds of high-quality cultural activities also favor this land full of historical charm, and promote Yangpu Riverside to become a new landmark for citizens to punch in for leisure.
In 2016, the Tobacco Warehouse near the Dock on Ningguo Road was transformed into a green hill that integrates municipal infrastructure, public green spaces and public supporting services into an urban riverside complex with coastal development. The design team opened up the upper and lower floors of the tobacco warehouse, set up a public transportation station on the ground floor of the building, and organically integrated the building and the regional transportation network. The upper part of the Green Hill is covered with greenery, connected by cantilevered stairs and slopes and riverbanks, resembling a huge green bridge. Today, it is also an open venue for the Yangpu Riverside Child-friendly Public Space, focusing on children's new needs for a better life. Children can come and relax, read a book, play games and participate in activities.
The four-storey Maoma warehouse on the riverbank, with its beige walls and white decorative strips, reveals a strong literary atmosphere; the interior industrial-style ceiling and red exhibition wall make people feel as if they are in a time and space tunnel. This old factory building has endured a century of wind and rain, witnessing the grandeur and excitement of the once red workers' movement. In May this year, the "Dawning - Red Shanghai • Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China Theme Art Exhibition" was launched in Yangpu Binjiang Maoma Warehouse. "History and art" cross-border, strong and strong, to show the public that the old factory building can also burst out of the spark of art.
This year, Shanghai launched the construction of the first national cultural relics protection and utilization demonstration zone in Yangpu District, and scientifically implemented the centralized and continuous protection and rational utilization of regional cultural relics resources. Yangpu "promotes the use of protection", promotes the transformation of large-scale industrial heritage, opens tourist public transportation services such as riverside battery cars and sightseeing trains, makes "the city readable", and creates a "world living room" that opens its arms to all friends.
The night economy brings new vitality and new landmarks show attraction
The slow-paced nightlife has become a way for many people to relax and relax. In 2019, Yangpu District's plan to promote the development of the night economy was officially launched. As an important part of Chuangzhi Tiandi, "University Road" has become a "punch card mecca" for young people in recent years, and it is also a well-known nightlife gathering place near and far.
As night falls, the streets of University Road are still brightly lit. More than 700 meters long commercial street is rich in formats, bars, cafes, bookstores, restaurants... Light up the night life of the citizens. Street performers sing here, and the songs are intertwined with people's laughter, highlighting the unique charm of the literary and art district. Some of the shops here can be open until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning at the latest, and have their own different formats, providing citizens with a variety of night leisure and entertainment options. According to the person in charge of Chuangzhi Tiandi, the night economy of University Road has gradually risen from 2009, and in 2012, it was upgraded and transformed, prompting the night economy to further flourish. In the future, Chuangzhi Tiandi will continue to introduce new formats that conform to the trend of the times.
In addition to the "above ground street" of University Road, the underground space in the wujiaochang roundabout area is also very powerful. Between Daxue Road and Wujiaochang, there is not only a connected underground passage - "Daxue Road Under one station", but also a "Pacific Forest Living World" commercial street. These underground spaces not only alleviate the traffic pressure on the ground of Songhu Road, but also meet the wishes of citizens to "shop and eat" anytime and anywhere.
In the past, the traffic around Dachuangzhi from the north to the New Jiangwan City area was a short board. However, in July this year, with the official opening of the Songhu Road-Sanmen Road interchange in Yangpu District, as a supporting project for the lower interchange, the Sanmen Road Air Corridor in Xinjiangwan City was officially opened to the public.
The Sanmen Road Air Corridor of Xinjiangwan City spans the intersection of Songhu Road, Zhayin Road and Sanmen Road, and the length of the main bridge is about 353 meters, and the plane is diamond-shaped, so it is called "Diamond Corridor". At night, the corridor lights up, like a brilliant diamond shining in the night sky, overlooking the "Easter egg" of the five corners field, the traffic shuttle, flowing with lights; close-up view can enjoy the corridor step by step, the lights are brilliant. Different from the traditional overpass, the new Jiangwan City sky corridor is seamlessly connected with the surrounding architectural space, and is also highly integrated with nearby office buildings, blocks, and greenery. The charming night scenery here has become another new landmark in Yangpu that will never be returned.
Dress up the new business card of the park city, and break through the cocoon into a butterfly
Today, Yangpu is making every effort to enhance the soft power of the city and become a warm home for citizens to live and work in peace and contentment. What kind of community can be described as "livable"? Lane 1028 of Siping Road gives a unique answer.
In the past, Lane 1028 of Siping Road was a small road that gathered hardware stores, building materials stores, and grocery stores, which was unremarkable. Now, it has a pocket park on its side, fashionable paintings on the walls, innovation labs opening to the "doorstep", and cafes where you can meet big names... The changes here reflect that more and more universities and communities are opening up resource sharing, allowing old neighborhoods with strong "fireworks" to release innovation, open up new lifestyles, and move towards vibrant neighborhoods belonging to the "future".
Ecology and green are destined to be the new business card of Yangpu in the future. When it comes to green blocks, Zhengmin Road Greenland is definitely on the list. Seeking farming and enjoying the fragrance of grass and flowers is the wish of many urban people. In the bustling streets, the green area of Zhengmin Road has opened up a "Chuangzhi Farm", through the autonomy of residents, planting melons, fruits, flowers and grasses, so that the place is full of vitality all year round, quite "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain". Nowadays, this urban pastoral melon and fruit are fragrant, even in the cold winter month, there are winter flowers with buds waiting to be released.
In Yangpu, the most popular park for citizens is the Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park. Known as the largest "city oxygen bar" in downtown Shanghai, it has been open to the public free of charge since July 1 this year. In spring, magnolia blossoms, summer lotus blossoms, autumn chrysanthemums, winter pines and cypresses... On holidays, the small train in the forest park "whines" and runs non-stop, carrying a car full of laughing people to play in various scenic spots in the park, enjoying flowers and birds.
Under the Yangpu Bridge, the bridge park covering an area of 35,419 square meters is still in the process of intensive construction. As a supporting project of the WorldSkills Museum, in the future, an ecological innovation city park will be built here, which will be open to the whole population. It is expected that the future Bridge Park has a new functional positioning, which integrates the sunshine activity field, sports equipment area, sunken square and other places to meet the activity needs of citizens of all ages.
"Accessible, participatory, shareable", Yangpu is creating a new "park city" for the citizens, so that production, life, ecological space is suitable, so that nature, economy, society, humanities harmonious integration, bearing in mind the traditional historical heritage, retaining the lively fireworks in the world, towards the future of the new wave era, welcome distant friends to visit...
