This year, 31 October marks the tenth World Cities Day. It is the first international day with the theme of cities established by the United Nations, and the first international day initiated by China and widely recognized and supported by the international community. Over the past 10 years, World Cities Day has become an international platform for China to tell the story of China's urban development with vivid cases.
As an industrial investment and operation platform cultivated by CCCG in the field of "big city", China Urban and Rural has created a diversified and coordinated development model with "industry" as the core with a high position and great responsibility, and has always practiced the original mission of "beautiful urban and rural areas and a better life".
The mission is extraordinary, and it has formed an indissoluble bond with the city
In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development issued the Declaration on Environment and Development and Agenda 21, which put forward the perspective of sustainable development and determined the policy of comprehensively considering environmental issues while ensuring that human social, economic, and scientific and technological development is met. In the same year, in order to promote the development of urban greening, China promulgated the "Urban Greening Regulations".
In this context, a company co-founded by Beijing Forestry University, China's top forestry university, and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration came into being. With the rotation of the gears of fate, it has formed an indissoluble bond with the sustainable development of the city.
This company is Beilin Science and Technology, the full name of Beijing Forestry University Forestry Science and Technology Co., Ltd
In the past 31 years, it has taken the responsibility of "rejuvenating the beauty of the city" and integrated into the blood of urban development, creating more than 7,000 high-quality ecological projects with high recognition, high aesthetics and high friendliness across the country, and has left a strong mark in major projects such as Xiong'an afforestation and Changchun Yitong River water system treatment.
While injecting efforts into the development of the city, Beilin Technology has also made countless dazzling achievements.
It is a national key high-tech enterprise, one of the first batch of leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization in Beijing, a technical support unit of the National Flower Engineering Center, a major member of the formulation of national industry standards for design specifications such as botanical gardens, zoos, and greenways, and a director unit of the National Timber Reserve Strategic Alliance and the China Ecological Restoration Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, with a large number of Class A and B qualifications and nearly 50 patented inventions such as landscape architecture engineering design. Behind these titles that highlight the status of the industry, it is the greatest confidence of Beilin Technology to serve the development of the city.
On January 7, 2019, Beilin Technology opened a new chapter of development and became the first fruitful result of China's urban and rural promotion of mixed ownership reform.
In China's urban and rural areas with planning and design, investment and financing, construction management, scientific and technological research and development, core equipment, operation services and other vertical integration of the whole industry chain capabilities, and the core industry as the leading horizontal diversification advantages, Beilin Science and Technology Co-ordinates the overall promotion of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand system co-construction, and strives to solve the dual contradiction of "industrial development and environmental protection", and provides the best solution with both efficiency and effectiveness for all levels to promote urban and rural development.
With the mission of "beautiful urban and rural areas and a better life", New Beilin set off again.
Qibi Park, showing the beauty of the city
The park is a product of urban development in modern society, and the emerging urban public space symbolizes the beauty of the city. In 2018, the general secretary of the city put forward the important concept of "park city" during his inspection in Chengdu, and the construction of urban parks has increasingly become an important way to lead the development of urban ecological civilization and an important way to meet the needs of the people for a better life.
For a long time, Beilin Technology has been taking on the important task of "planning beautiful gardens for urban design" by virtue of its undoubted leading edge in the landscape architecture industry.
Beijing Olympic Forest Park, through the systematic study of seasonal wildflowers and grasses and various native vegetation during the Olympic Games, and the comprehensive use of various technologies such as flowers and grass seas, has created a unique suburban leisure landscape, which provides citizens with an ideal holy place to walk into nature and indulge in nature while protecting animals and plants. Search for "the most beautiful park in Beijing" and its name will definitely appear.
Xiong'an North Country Park, the largest single landing project in the new area, is the gateway of green ecology in the north, "mainly forested, supplemented by parks; Afforestation on the film, leaving traces on the dots", "Ten Districts, Ten Scenes, Ten Realms", "Earth Couplet" and other miraculous pen written by the future park city model.
Shenzhen Bay Park, a series of 7 coastal areas and more than 20 theme parks with their own characteristics, including Happy Coast and Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters, provides a typical demonstration of environmental construction for the country to build a world-class bay area urban agglomeration, and is a symbol of the charm and image of Shenzhen's construction of a modern and international coastal city.
In addition, there are Cuihu National Urban Wetland Park in Beijing, Longzi Lake Lakeside Park in Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou City, Lianhuashan Park in Shenzhen, and Futian Mangrove Ecological Park in Shenzhen. There are too many, and I can't finish counting them in a while.
The creators behind this series of well-known parks are the two "leader" enterprises in the field of landscape architecture design facing north and south under Beilin Technology, Beijing Beilin Landscape and Shenzhen Beilin Garden.
As the president unit and vice president unit of the Landscape Architecture and Ecological Environment Branch of China Survey and Design Association, the two sub-institutes have a decisive brand radiation and industry influence, and have won more than 500 important awards at home and abroad, such as the Zhan Tianyou Award for Civil Engineering, the Luban Award for China Construction Engineering, the Chinese Habitat Environment Model Award, and the International Federation of Landscape Architects Award, contributing several "most beautiful parks" to many cities in China and creating a number of landmark landscapes.
Ecological plastic city, a better life and start again
With the increasing requirements of the people for environmental quality and living experience, how to break through the traditional single garden landscape project and build a green ecology of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in the limited space of the city has become a new direction for Beilin Technology to help the sustainable development of the city.
A road transforms a city.
The environment here is so good, I often come here for a walk now, and the rest facilities here are complete. In the interview, Dengfeng citizens mentioned the changes in life brought by the integration of Shaolin Avenue blocks and the improvement of landscape.
However, in the past, this historical city, which is adjacent to Zhengzhou, relying on the "Shaolin Temple" of Zhongyue Songshan Mountain, and embracing a rich cultural atmosphere, has also suffered from many development pains such as the lack of greenery in the old city, the mixing of people and vehicles, and the lack of public space in the process of rapid development.
Part of the draft programme.
To this end, the Beilin landscape design team combined with the detailed data of many field surveys, and established a thorough "tearing down the wall and revealing the green", and the grand goal of bringing about the overall reshaping of the urban area by road transformation!
Through the full cooperation with the local people, on the basis of preserving the historical features, the "small" demolition, "micro" transformation, and "multi" greening extended to the streets and alleys, so that the entire block is in the park.
Nowadays, coming down from the highway, it is open and magnificent, and there are no walls on both sides of the road, high and low, and there are free air, lush and lush, and more and more leisure places.
The spring water of the Biyi River is beautiful on both sides of the road
The main stream of the Longgang River is too comfortable to ride on the blue road, and there are super beautiful scenery ......"Since January 16, 2023, after the encounter between the main stream of the Longgang River in Shenzhen and the people of Shenzhen, it has been unabated, and it has been repeatedly recommended on the list, and there are thousands of comments like this on the whole network.
Behind this, the Beilinyuan project team worked day and night, questionnaire survey of the ideal blue road in the hearts of the citizens, using a variety of technical means to overcome difficulties, and ......implementing the beautiful long-cherished wishes of the general public step by step
According to the overall urban planning and development of the Longgang River Basin, as well as the cultural context and natural ecological characteristics of the city, the design team takes water as the main line, coordinates various ecological elements of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, takes into account the functions of ecology, safety, culture, landscape, economy, etc., co-builds and co-governs, optimizes the ecology, production and living pattern, and plans and constructs three major theme paragraphs: U Dream Green Valley, livable life, and Longyuan waterfront.
From the turbidity of the river and the barrenness of the banks to the lush vegetation and the singing of birds and flowers, this poetic ecological corridor has added a new footnote to Shenzhen.
The boat is big, and the horse gallops away. At the long-term ecological and environmental protection conference, the words of the general secretary pointed out the direction for the urban and ecological picture of the new era: "It is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between natural restoration and artificial restoration, and strive to find the best solution for ecological protection and restoration." ”
Giving full play to the core advantages, using plants to return nature to green, using ecology to return life to livability, and using plants as the carrier to solve the problems of environment and development is the firm answer given by Beilin Technology for the future.
And what kind of ecological work will it contribute to the city? Let's wait and see!
