STUDY AREA: 401 hectares SITE DESCRIPTION Suzhou River is the mother river of Shanghai, with abundant human resources and riverside water landscape, which is a rare urban open space in dense cities.

After 2015, Jing'an and Zhabei were integrated into a widder Jing'an District. For a long time, the Suzhou River has become a geographical and psychological barrier. The prosperous Jing'an District on the south bank is in stark contrast to the marginalized Zhabei District on the north bank. After the merger of the two districts, the two sides of the Suzhou River ushered in a new opportunity, and the 14-kilometer riverside location in the city center is expected to be integrated.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES

The Embankment Estuary Historic Building Protection Area

115m x 115m Dense Block with Courtyard Since Cerda grid was applied in 1859, the Barcelona government controled that the density of neighbourhoods must not exceed 50%, and the spaces left were opened for garden.

The courtyard in the middle of each block is also a green area for passengers.

In the plan, each courtyard is planted with big trees and shared with other people in the city. This not only allows urban residents to have their own yards, but also communicate with others.

The randomly located service area and administrative complexes, leading to the fragmentation of spaces.

Strengths Green infrastructure

Ecological resources distribute along the site such as the vegetation and wildlife.

Enough open and semi-open spaces that distribute in the site.

Threats

High density of residents and communities Huge people and traffic flow around the station and the bund

The high accessibiliy to the site from other cities (by train) and other places of the city (by cars, bicycles or public transports)

Heritages

The protection of historic heritages

The high value of historic heritages existing along the river.

Opportunities

Superblocks: A Change in City Model Some streets are tasked with channelling vehicle traffic, others are pedestrianised and green and connect green spaces, neighbourhoods and points of interest while others are free for public functions, linked to living and neighbourhood life.

A superblock will consist of nine existing blocks of the grid. Car, scooter, lorry and bus traffic will then be restricted to just the roads in the superblock perimeters, and they will only be allowed in the streets in between if they are residents or providing local businesses, and at a greatly reduced speed of 10km/h (typically the speed limit across the city is 50km/h, and 30km/h in specific areas). source from: http://www.sustainablecities.eu/fileadmin/templates/esc/lib/transformative_actions//_utility/tools/push_resource_file.php?uid=dd9bf772

Issue 3: Inefficiency of neighbourhoods

There are 3 neighbourhoods along the river in which people have to spend 20 30 minutes to arrive a park, the typology of the blocks and streets causes the issue of mobility inefficiency.

Communities to the nearest park (time spent above 20 mins by walking)

Issue 2: Discontinuity of blocks The viaduct and river cut the the surroudning urban districts into 4 quadrants, leading to the inconvenience and insecurity for pedestrains.

4 blocked urban districts

Policy 2: To re-connect the neighbourhoods through a shared link in the type of parks built under the viaduct and develop the commercial corridor along the viaduct based on 4 surrounding metro stations and historic regeneration neighbourhoods.

Policy 3: To redevelop a new street grids through regularly shaped streets and complete blocks and replace some low quality buildings by small scale parks in the courtyards of communities.

Issue 4: Fragmentation of urban spaces The brownfields and shabby industrial buildings randomly located throughout the river site lead to the fragmentation and low efficiency use of spaces.

Underused spaces

Policy 4: To integrate the public service functions into particular residential areas and replace the industrial buildings and brownfields by green sapces or better commercial land development.

Theories Outcomes C

Unique Space Characters Closing space with multiple characters makes the space distinctive, making it simple for aged people to recognise sites.

Visual & Physical Accessibility Physical links are required to access green spaces, visual connections help reduce the anxiety as well

Clear Layout The elderly are easy and safe to find their way through a clear and simple layout.

Microclimate Making use of the green and blue elements to form a more comfortable microclimate for the senstive elderly people.

Heritages Reservation Historical heritages in the site make the elderly form a sense of belonging and collective identity.

River Corridor Restoration The restoration of the river corridor gives the elderly a familiar emotion link to the environment.

Enclosure Sites Enclosure improves the mental safety and sense of privacy.

Rest Spots A denser rest spots grid make the elderly poeple with reduced mobility are able to cross the site.

Spatial Hierachy Separating the private, semi-public and public spaces gives the privacy for perticular group in the site.

Mutiple Natural Elements The multiple natural elements help the elederly poeple release negative emotions and allow them experience various scene in short distances.

Sports Spaces Easily accessing the sports facility helps the elderly people improve their physical health.

Social Spaces Mentally attaching the site by interactions with their family, friends or even stangers helps the elderly reduce the sense of loneliness.

SUZHOU RIVER HEALING PLAN: CONNECTING A MISSING LINK FOR HEALTHY AGEING

University of Sheffield Landscape Department Yaotian Chen

Making use of the historic heritages to revitalise the riverfront against in the context of ageing PROJECT SUMMARY

REFERENCES LIST

MOTIVATION As the mother river of Shanghai, for a long time, Suzhou River has become a geographical and psychological barrier. With the degree of aging society increases, the barriers caused by the infrastructure, from bridges to highway interchanges isolated green spaces and blocks became a big challenge for the elderly people.

Online Publications

AIM Against the background of increasing aging, this project is dedicated to create an open space and green network along the Suzhou River that leverages the underused spaces and unique circumstances of its historical industrial neighbourhoods to revitalise the riverfront and create links with surrounding neighbourhoods, cultivating equity, mobility and resilience-based public spheres. The completion of this project marks Shanghai as the earliest industrial image in China has been reshaped into a humane, convenient and healthy model of contemporary age-friendly international urban life.

VISION 1. Interpretation of rich cultural and industrial history The green network connects important historical resources in the site, including unique attractions and industrial relics that can be used to construct public places, and creates opportunities for the connection of the two existing important parks (Jing'an Sculpture Park and Everbright City Park). The trail along the lake adds open community space and facilities on the basis of the long-standing industrial relics, and brings the urban vitality interface facing the Suzhou river bank and the industrial sites along the line to the public.

2. Park Neighbourhoods Re-imagination Re-imagine neighbourhoods in Downtown with parks at their core. Improving public parks as a forum for civic life and creating partnerships that expand their 'scope' into the broader network of open spaces, connecting distinct parks, streetscapes and open spaces within the neighbourhood into a unified green whole that honours the essence of the area's history and heals civic life.

3. Transform barriers to equitable accesses Safer and legible accesses are required to connect two existing parks on the one side of Suzhou river (Jing'an Sculpture Park and Everbright City Park), reaching the 2 parks by walking from the nearby communities of another side takes nearly 40 minutes. The vision for the future links is to create more new pedestrian bridges and green paths connecting the neighborhood to large green spaces.

THEORIES 1. Health and Cares The need for families and friends to provide support for people would increase, discussing the health and delivering unpaid support would be crucial to ensuring that this need is sustainably fulfilled.

2. Housing and Neighbourhoods Housing in the sense of broader community should be considered. Accessibility and social cohesion are two of the main factors influencing the way older residents view their community 3.

APPROACHES 1. Regenerating the high density domestic urban fabrics and industrial heritages with historic values to commercial districts through the refurbishment and gardens.

2. Improving public parks as a forum for civic life and linking them to the broader open space network. Connecting distinct parks, streetscapes and open spaces in the neighbourhood into a cohesive green whole which celebrates the heritage character of the area and promotes community life.

3. Improving the distinctive characteristics of the most emblematic streets in downtown and rendering them excellent civic places and connectors, re-establishing Qufu road and its branches as green links for the healing landscape area, integrating with existing parks, and other open spaces.
