"In the morning, the elderly come to incubate the sun, and after dinner, they come for a run. There are more parking spaces, the road to work is closer, and the greenway has brought earth-shaking changes to the community environment. On the day of the winter solstice, although the temperature in Shanghai fell below freezing, the Puhuitang waterfront greenway in Xuhui District was still "hot", which made residents living in Guilin Xinyuan full of praise.
As a linear green open space, the greenway connects diverse natural and cultural landscape nodes, links fragmented urban ecosystems, and has multiple functions such as connection, leisure and fitness, ecological protection, and cultural tourism. For 7 consecutive years, the Shanghai Greenway has been included in the private practical project every year, with an average annual growth rate of about 200 kilometers.
With the greenway, residents along the route can take a leisurely walk on the beautiful and comfortable greenway.
This year, Shanghai Greenways has increased by 23126 km, the total length has reached 176904 km. In addition to increasing the amount of greenery and linking ecology, the city's greenways have become more distinctive in terms of functional superposition, adapting measures to local conditions, and planning first, bringing more happiness to citizens.
Penetrate 3 breakpoints.
In the temperature of minus 4 in the morning, a long ice was hung on the side of the maintenance bridge on the Puhui Pond, but the cleaning boat was still shuttling. There are already many people on the riverside greenway, office workers in a hurry, elderly people chatting on the railing, and morning exercisers running and exercising ......
The greenway connects the nodes of diverse natural and cultural landscapes.
This is the northern section of Puhuitang Greenway (Phase II) in Xuhui District, with a total length of 11 km, built along Puhui Pond, east to Yishan Road, west to Guilin Road. The greenway includes four shore sections: Changchun Substation, Guangyao City, Shijia Garden, and Guilin Xinyuan. Originally, only the section of the Saga Garden had a waterfront space, and the other three were breakpoints, but in this renovation, four sections were connected in series, and the public could walk along the greenway from Yishan Road to Guilin Road.
How to break through the breakpoint has become the top priority in planning and design. Yu Keyan, water affairs department of Xuhui Water Management Center, told reporters that Changchun substation is an ultra-high voltage substation with some special protection needs.
Yu Deshui is the first engineer of Yangtze River survey, planning, design and research, and the professional leader of the greenway. He said that before the construction, the plan of the substation was changed three times, the Shijia Garden was revised four or five times, and the Guilin New Garden was revised no less than ten times.
The rest of the shore sections are designed with two-level flood control walls, reducing the original first-class flood control wall to 38 meters high, increase hydrophilicity, and then make a 45 meters of secondary flood control wall, which can increase the hydrophilicity of the greenway. And because the substation has power facilities, considering the safety, it is necessary to adopt a flood control wall design, according to 4Fortified elevation of 5 meters was built. At that time, the company also proposed that the maintenance vehicles should be able to pass, so the trail was designed as 35 meters wide, the rest of the segments are 15m-1About 8 meters. β
In addition, due to the large number of high-voltage lines near the substation, the distance from the top height of the structure on the greenway to the high-voltage line shall not be less than 6 meters. In addition to adjusting the height of street lamps and scaffolding, the designer even took into account the growth height of plants. The reporter saw that the Changchun substation is planted with low trees or shrubs, such as osmanthus trees and maples, which can not only add fragrance and color to the greenway, but also will not grow into "giant trees".
Improve the quality of the community.
The Guilin New Garden at the western end has different difficulties. The north side of the community is blocked by a wall and a green belt on the side of the river, so not only can you not go out, but you can't even see the river. How to convince residents to support the construction of a greenway was the most difficult task before the renovation.
Last summer, there was a briefing meeting at two ends in three days, and every time everyone had a new opinion, the designer and the water department went back with everyone's ideas to revise it, and then took the new plan to the activity room to publicize and explain it in a few days, and the construction party was really hard. β
Wang Kang, a resident of the community, recalled that at that time, according to everyone's needs, the designer designed a side gate for the community, so that you can walk directly from the greenway to Line 9 of Yishan Road and Line 15 of Guilin Road, and you don't need to detour from Qinzhou North Road on the south side to work, which can save more than 10 minutes. In addition, about 20 parking spaces are planned on the waterfront according to the topography in the plan, which alleviates the problem of parking difficulties in the community. These designs have won the votes of many young people.
The elderly, on the other hand, are concerned about safety and greenery. To this end, the secretary of the neighborhood committee repeatedly communicated with everyone, talking about the benefits of improving the quality of the community and increasing the space for leisure activities, and the designer also took the initiative to serve, saying that it would build a separation wall for Guilin Xinyuan and renovate the road in the community. In the end, after a unanimous vote of 288 households, more than two-thirds of the residents agreed to the greenway.
After the renovation, some residents who were originally opposed or had a wait-and-see attitude also recognized the improvement of the environment and the convenience of travel. "I couldn't see the river before, but now I can see the river when I come out of the building, which is very beautiful. After the renovation, the needs of residents of all ages have been met, and everyone has a sense of gain. Wang Kang said.
Implant various elements.
The breakpoint at both ends is opened, and the middle section is relatively easy. Yu Keyan said that the riverside area of Guangyao City belongs to the company, and with the coordination of Tianlin Street, the company is willing to vacate the land within the red line and open it as a public space. To this end, the design has renovated the chaotic sewage system along the river, and the company has also gained a beautiful and clean waterfront space.
As the largest hinterland of the whole greenway, the original connection standards and concepts are relatively simple, but this time it has been built with a focus on the concept of implanting sponge city through rain gardens, dry streams and permeable pavement, and the total annual runoff control rate of the site is 872%, the annual runoff pollution control rate is 698%γIn the "Garden of Ripples", there is not only an earth art garden suitable for the elderly to stroll and relax, but also a fun sand pit combined with game facilities suitable for parent-child interaction, so that everyone can swim and live.
On the greenway with the theme of "Pro-Qing Road", you can see exquisite and beautiful modeling sketches everywhere.
Along the greenway, you can see verses from the past and present.
What's more creative is that the greenway also superimposes functions such as clean government culture and cultural contextual traceability. On the greenway with the theme of "Pro-Qing Road", you can see exquisite and beautiful modeling sketches and cultural sculptures everywhere, and the poems of clean government and Qingming throughout the ages are embellished among them, and the whole article of "Ai Lian Said" is also engraved on the small square. In addition, the historical changes of Puhuitang can also be traced on the greenway, turning the greenway into an "elegant road" with the "soul of culture".
According to the Xuhui District Greening and City Appearance Bureau, the Puhuitang Waterfront Greenway is an important carrier of the Puhuitang landscape belt in the "two corridors and five belts" ecological pattern that Xuhui District has made efforts to build during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. This year, combined with the construction of pocket parks, the upgrading and transformation of green spaces, and the improvement of river channels, Xuhui District has built 4 new greenways, including Zhongshan West Road, Caoxi Road, Huashi Road, Puhuitang, and Zhangjiatang, totaling 31 km to further promote the accessibility of ecological space.
Follow ecological priorities.
Xuhui District is just a microcosm of the city's greenway construction. This year, the municipal and district greening departments will cooperate with each other to do a good job in the whole process management of greenway design, construction and maintenance.
Scenic greenways.
In terms of funds, certain municipal capital subsidies have been given to greenway construction projects, and specific capital subsidies and operating measures have been formulated. In the design gatekeeping link, carry out scheme review to ensure the rationality of line selection and design. In the construction process, carry out inspection and guidance, and solve difficulties in a timely manner. In terms of management and maintenance, special supervision of greenways will be carried out, and a special inspection mechanism for greenways at the two levels in urban areas will be formed.
The reporter was informed that the construction of Shanghai Greenway has always followed the principle of ecological priority and people-oriented, giving priority to the selection of sites in parks and green spaces with sufficient green quantity and high green vision rate, so as to minimize the damage to existing plants and landscape resources. At the same time, the "upgraded" greenway is also dotted with colorful scenery in the greenery. The romantic cherry blossom greenway on Guijiang Road in Xuhui, the old Humin Road in Minhang, the Aoxue Plum Blossom Greenway in Xinzhuang Interchange, and the Yueji Flower Wall Greenway in Pengyuepu in Jing'an have long been well-known "Internet celebrity roads".
In addition, Shanghai's parks and green spaces are often patchy, and when building greenways, the unbounded integration of unit greening, residential greening and park green space has been realized by borrowing unit land and residential land. For example, the Huazheng section of the Suzhou Creek Greenway is a "one belt and ten points" landscape created by East China University of Political Science and Law and the adjacent Huahang Community, Wanhua Community, and Huayuan Community along the Suzhou Creek flood control wall set back 2-3 meters, while Caoyang New Village opens up the waterfront space of Caoyang Huanbang by removing the walls of the units along the closed river, so that the green ecological background and humanistic vitality can fully penetrate from the riverside to the streets and communities.
In 2015, the city officially launched the preparation of special greenway planning, according to the municipal, district, community-level first-class structure planning of the city's greenway, and each district has also successively prepared district-level greenway special planning. In January 2016, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Greening and City Appearance issued the Guidelines for the Construction of Greenways in Shanghai (Trial). Subsequently, the "Shanghai Greenway LOGO" and "Signage System Design Scheme" were solicited from the society, which provided technical support for promoting the construction of greenways in the city.
In Shanghai, the construction of greenways has been listed as the city's first private practical project for 7 consecutive years. According to the relevant requirements of the "2023 Shanghai Municipal Construction Progress Plan for Private Practical Project Construction" (Shanghai Reconstruction 2023 No. 1) issued by the Shanghai Municipal ** General Office and the Municipal Major Project Construction Office at the beginning of the year, the "200-kilometer greenway construction" was once again included in the plan this year. As of the end of November, the length of greenway construction in Shanghai this year has reached 23126 kilometers, the total length of the Shencheng Greenway has reached 176904 km.
By 2025, the total length of greenways in the city will reach about 2,000 kilometers. Among them, the five new cities have basically built a district-level greenway network of "one district, one ring, and interconnection", strengthened the connection and network of community greenways and municipal and district-level greenways, and comprehensively improved the coverage of greenway service radius.
According to the Shanghai Greenway Special Plan (2040), Shanghai will gradually form a city-level greenway system of "three rings and one belt, three verticals and three horizontals" within the city, as well as a district-level greenway layout plan with "encryption in the center and long vines and melons".
Case. 1.Ecological greenway in the outer ring forest belt of Changning District.
Overall length 625 kilometers, the four seasons in the outer ring forest belt are scattered, and multiple landscapes such as waterfront, forest, grassland, and wetland constitute a green landscape corridor with obvious regional characteristics. Greenway and Suzhou Creek Changning Section 11The 2-kilometer slow traffic system connects Linkong ** Park and Hongqiao Sports Park seamlessly, superimposing functions such as walking, road running, cycling, and sports events. Among them, there are six-in-one technical defense facilities, seats, mobile public toilets, beverage vending machines, automatic lockers, robot coffee machines, mobile phone charging machines, umbrella rental machines, etc. This year, four new post stations have been built in the greenway, whose names are taken from the Book of Songs.
2.Greenways on both sides of Lianhua South Road (Chunshentang-Xiangyang Road) in Meilong Town.
The total length is 5 kilometers, combined with the original topography and landform, the landscape and function are improved. By planting colorful leaves and flowering plants such as oak tree, black tree, American red maple, crape myrtle, cherry blossom, weeping begonia and plum blossom, the amount of greenery is increased, and an all-season greenway landscape with scenery in all seasons is formed. A number of leisure landscape nodes are set up along the line to create art galleries with a sense of design and modern leisure seats with bright colors for residents to rest.
3.Pengyuepu wedge-shaped greenway.
Overall length 122 kilometers, the entrance square of the Youth Sports Park, the water system in the park, the natural water system of Pengyuepu, the football field and other landscapes and functions are connected into a whole, and the plant characteristics of "flowers in three seasons and scenery in four seasons" make the waterfront space full of vitality and vitality.
