With a new urban planning model, walking is reshaping the future of cities.
Jeff Spike, a well-known American urban planner, advocated walk-oriented community design in "Walkable Cities", and is committed to creating "a high-quality living environment that makes people want to stay". In the definition of walkablecity, it is "a city that is people-centered, with full consideration of social, environmental, economic and other factors, and complete supporting facilities in the surrounding area".
Not all cities have the conditions to build a pedestrian city.
How to plan transportation, block setting, functional connection, safety assurance, etc.
Improve the urban construction model from multiple professional perspectives
There are at least three prerequisites for the planning of a pedestrian city.
1. Pedestrian cities are intensive "mini-cities".
It is not a traditional pedestrian street. Studies have shown that the radius of people who are willing to enjoy life by walking is only 1-2 kilometers and about 15 minutes. A micro-city that encompasses hotels, businesses, hospitals, residences, transportation and other elements of life can make people more willing to achieve all their daily needs through pleasant walking.
In short, clothing, food, housing, transportation, work and social networking can be completely solved within walking distance.
2. Pedestrian cities belong to urban redesign
Urban planning is a systematic project, from the supporting planning, traffic settings, functional connection, safety and living environment are all designed around the concept of pedestrian priority, the height difference of the city, the building floor area ratio and other design foundations will become the constraints.
In 2009, London's Oxford Circus began to transform the concept of a pedestrian city, making a lot of pedestrian changes to the street community, not only widening the sidewalks, changing the location of the zebra crossing, but also redesigning the traffic lights on the square. In order to facilitate efficient mobility, healthy living and revitalize the city, a Healthy Streets Approach document has even been developed.
3. The community is the basic pedestrian area of the pedestrian city
The community itself is a pedestrian zone, and as the basic unit of the city, it also needs to obey the pedestrian system. In the "walking city" community, people are fully respected.
From the construction of landscape nodes, shared spaces, to community roads, on the basis of satisfying the residential function and aesthetic function, it is also necessary to consider the whole life cycle, so that everyone can have a sense of pleasure in the process of walking.
For example, more outdoor ecological spaces and micro-resort living scenes have been created within the community. In terms of details, such as barrier-free access, more eye-catching walking signs, scene design that is more convenient for people to socialize, and more stay and leisure camps.
In short, in terms of external facilities and internal configuration, it is people-oriented, taking into account the convenience, safety, recognizability and comfort of all life functions within walking distance.
4. Urban talent and design are co-created, about 630,000 medium-sized cities, and they are born into a miniature city
With the help of Caijia's urban functions, we will deeply tap the potential of the area in various aspects such as natural integration, scientific and technological innovation, and industrial livability, adhere to the people-oriented, make full use of the advantages of surrounding facilities, and create a sample of Caijia's pedestrian urban life. Liangjiangyin has the natural foundation of a walking city, with Chongqing's first Ahri-themed amusement street, the municipal distribution of Tong's Sports Park of the International Public Landscape Award, the first national regional medical center of Caijia, and the first five-star hotel of Caijia.
5. Systematic urban design to reshape the city of the future
With the help of the urban function of Caijiabei District, Zhongcheng Liangjiangyin takes "pedestrian city as the driving core", and through efficient and scientific pedestrian system design, the resources of the micro-city are intensive, and the community and people are effectively connected. And superimposed fiber green corridor, with the three value dimensions of ecological civilization, cultural identity, and smart technology, a healthy and green scene-based lifestyle.
For example, in the design of the urban road network, the road planning in the area adopts a gentle slope setback and green road design: the maximum green retreat is about 20 meters to reduce the impact of external pedestrians on the internal community: the sidewalks are widened to 4-5 meters to leave safety and vision to pedestrians;Concentrated business, the use of pocket-type circulation design, the pedestrian road extends to its interior, to maintain the flexibility of the circulation line and full of fireworks.
For example, in the layout of community groups, the grid block design of the honeycomb city is adopted, and the horizontal and vertical block road system between the groups keeps each group unified. The different building façade styles allow each group to have its own independent community characteristics. In about 15 Under the planning conditions of floor area ratio, the building height is generally low, in addition to the overall view is wider, the ground walkers will receive more sunlight.
For example, in terms of overall planning, the construction of a pedestrian city lifestyle is the driving core, the traffic skeleton is sorted out according to the current road network, the fiber green corridor is superimposed, and the basic framework of the "three major support systems" is built to form 7 major scenarios of the pedestrian city with the three value dimensions of ecological civilization, cultural identity, and intelligent technology.
Undertaking the foundation of Caijia's "Park City and Smart City", Liangjiangyin has built a total of 7 major scenarios of parks, social networking, transportation, architecture, humanities, internationalization and wisdom through the three major systems of ecological civilization, cultural identity and smart technology.
6. Five strolling community scenes to create a 24-hour life experience
Combining the beauty of urban life and nature, Zhongcheng Liangjiangyin has also made breakthroughs and optimizations within the community.
Taking the second phase of Zhongcheng Liangjiangyin Group as an example, it is organically connected through a strolling community road, so that the owners, regardless of age, can get a sense of pleasure during the 24-hour walk. Focusing on the five major systems of vitality and health, child-friendly neighborhood interaction, warm care, and intelligent interconnection, we will explore diversified and beautiful life scenarios
Child-friendly: Design theme parks for children by age: Even take into account the light conditions of different seasons, and design children's parks in locations with more sunlight.
Vitality and health: design exclusive aerobic and healthy exercise spaces and facilities for owners: In addition, the complex vitality sports area customizes exclusive sports spaces such as running tracks and fitness equipment according to the different internal conditions of each community.
Neighborhood sharing: It is located in the center of the group, or the height difference of the platform is used to create an exclusive "outdoor living room" for the owner.
Warm care: The overall landscape space structure is divided into "multiple theme courtyards", creating a spatial sequence of multiple alternating openings and closings such as social communication, quiet and exclusive.
Smart interconnection: Under the property smart community management system, the whole community realizes non-inductive traffic, such as garage recognition system and community gate face recognition.
The past is uninteresting because people can't change it: the future is interesting because people can't ** it. As James, the former director of planning in New York, said, life today is not something to be proud of in the face of the changing times. What is to be proud of is always the next better, to open a new era, and to leave people's cognition behind at the beginning.
This is what Zhongcheng Liangjiangyin wants to do one by one to practice the pioneer concept of an international pedestrian city, change the lifestyle of Yili City, and explore new possibilities step by step.
