History and culture are the soul of a city. In the past ten years, the city of Shanghai has "developed in protection and protection in development", treated every space of the city with "embroidery", and preserved the history and context of the city with cherished hearts. A fireworks-filled neighborhood under the plane trees, a pleasing pocket park at the doorstep, and a waterfront parlor that opens its arms to everyone ......The more and more refined urban space allows everyone to feel the temperature of the city.
On the occasion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, the International Propaganda Office of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wen Wei Po Press, the Shanghai Federation of Social Sciences, and the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences jointly produced the first season of the series of short documentaries "Let's Talk About Great Changes", which explains the vivid practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in Shanghai in the new era from the perspective of scholars. Today, the seventh episode of "A Little Beauty Under the Sycamore Tree" is launched, and Wu Jiang, a professor at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University, will take you on a walk through the city blocks and read the stories behind the details of the city.
The city has a temperature that everyone can feel. —Wu Jiang.
A good city, it has temperature. Wu Jiang said that behind the beauty of the city and the prosperity of the city, it is the warmth of the city that makes all this full of meaning. "Temperature" cannot simply be understood as a feeling, "temperature" is the true value of the city, and it contains multiple dimensions. Why do people live in cities? Why Shanghai? Because, the city can provide more temperature.
Walking on Nanchang Road, which is full of fireworks, the sycamores are shady, ingenious everywhere, small shops, cafes, humanistic living rooms, science halls, and the style and function of the block are renewed and improved, injecting new vitality into the old road. Turn into a renovated lane community, and the entrance is an exquisite "pocket park". "It's like an architectural museum, and in the 30s it was very popular in Shanghai for this kind of façade finish, called brushed cement, and there was a practice of dry-sticking pebbles. Observing the beautiful small buildings in front of him, Wu Jiang explained the repair process of old houses, "Both of these methods are very demanding on manual work, and in recent years, Shanghai has re-excavated these techniques, and now we can skillfully use the practices of the 30s to repair these old houses." ”
The sun shines through the plane trees and shines on the azure façade of Yili's bun shop. Gao'an Road, which has used enough "embroidery" effort, has found a delicate balance between fireworks and a sense of style. After the "micro-update", a number of small street shops such as cigarette paper shops and flower shops, as well as cultural stations such as vinyl libraries, connect the humanistic texture of Gao'an Road. From 12 meters to 26 meters - the sidewalk of Gao'an Road on the west side of the Shanghai Library has also been widened, realizing a significant change from "shoulder to shoulder" to "leisurely walking".
Cities are not complete and should not be just for efficiency, cities can cultivate a kind of warmth, so that everyone can feel good, so that everyone can feel at home. "Follow Wu Jiang as you walk through the Bund with a century-old complex, where each building tells the story of history and heritage. "The café is a great example of how it blends the city's functional facilities with leisure facilities to create a very positive space." ”
In today's Shanghai, every bit of improvement is becoming more and more refined and refined. Wu Jiang said that if everyone can take care of it, then our city will become warmer and better.
