Urban Vision New Green Urban Connector that stitches together the currently isolated neighborhoods and functions of the Xuhui District, creating a series of pedestrian and vehicular paths that permeate trough a series of blocks, containing different programs and functions, adding activities to bridge across the north-south division. Which emphasizes the following urban design principles:

Section II

Design, Concept, Vision, Strategy

Intensify and mix Functions Human Scale/ Neighborhood Design

The building along the new green connector will be designed with a human scale and have sense of place for every area

The activities in the south will be densified with creative milieu activities and the new green connector connection will strengthen the urban life

Green Path

Green Interaction

Green Connection

Green boundary

New Green Path To respond the unconnected south station to the surrounding green space. The green path connect the station with the Kangjinyuan Park and the Shanghai Botanical Garden.

New Path

New Road To respond the isolated neighborhoods in the south from the north. The railway and the highway would be go under the ground and there will be construct a new road to cross to the north

New Path To respond the connectivity and unfriendly pedestrian in the Xuhui District. There will be a new path for pedestrian and bicycle that connect the north and south

Responding to the function problems diagram, the masterplan will show the main existing land use and the planning land use in the in the new green connector.

Main Landuse Planning Building Existing Building

Central Area To respond the engagement between south and north, there will be one new center area with mix use activity that connects the north and the south, also the south station.
