“Building Nests and Leading Phoenix” and adding the largest greenway construction in Chengdu’s history

“With the Tianfu Greenway, Chengdu will be able to return to the glory of slow traffic in the Tang Dynasty, which has irreproducible significance.” Speaking of the 30,000-mile Tianfu Greenway, Zhang Jing, Dean of the Landscape Architecture Institute of China Architecture Southwest Design Institute If it is an evaluation.

On the morning of September 2, the first phase of the Tianfu Greenway project was announced in the jade demonstration section, which also marked the official launch of Chengdu's largest greenway construction work in recent years.

According to the overall plan, the Tianfu Greenway is composed of a three-level slow-moving system. The regional-level greenway of “one axis, two mountains, three rings and seven roads” is 1920 kilometers, and more than 5,000 kilometers of urban-level greenways are formed in various groups within the city. Level-level greenways are connected, and community-level greenways in facilities such as kindergartens in the community are more than 10,000 kilometers. Then, why should Chengdu start to build this “huge” greenway system? What considerations do you have at this time?

Chengdu new business card: nearly 17,000 km greenway

The “Greenway” is derived from the concept of developed countries in the West. Practice has proved that it not only provides urban residents with opportunities to experience nature, but also stimulates economic growth and brings enormous social, economic and ecological benefits.

At present, Chengdu is building a national central city that fully reflects the new development concept. It is necessary to continuously improve urban livelihood and comprehensively strengthen the construction of human settlements. The so-called nesting is good for attracting phoenixes. The construction of the Tianfu Greenway will undoubtedly increase the attractiveness of Chengdu and enhance the development of the industry. It is understood that the greenway construction will directly create more than 100,000 jobs, attract high-quality talents, promote innovation and entrepreneurship, and radiate the surrounding 100 billion-level modern service industry clusters to provide more employment opportunities.

The core of the city is people. Whether it is Singapore known as “Garden City”, Japan with high forest coverage, or New York with Central Park, there is always Green Park in the planning and construction of today's international metropolis. concept. These "green" are not only urban eco-oxygen bars, but also important business cards for the city.

"Like New York has Central Park and London has Hyde Park. In the future, when you mention Chengdu, you will say that there is a Tianfu Greenway." Zhang Jing said that when he was in Chengdu's green planning, he was full of expectations for the Tianfu Greenway.

In the future, Chengdu will focus on “one axis, two mountains, three rings and seven belts” to create a 1920 km regional greenway, a city-level greenway of more than 5,000 km, and a community-level greenway of more than 10,000 km to subdivide the three-level greenway. The system makes “green” a new city landscape and new business card in Chengdu.

Specifically, “one axis” refers to the Jinjiang Greenway along the Jinjiang River from the Zipingpu in Dujiangyan to the total length of Shuangliu Huanglongxi, 200 km. “Two Mountains” refers to the Longmenshan Forest Greenway along the eastern side of Longmen, about 350 kilometers long; along the Longquan Mountain, the Longquan Mountain Forest Greenway is about 200 kilometers long. The “Three Rings” refer to the Panda Greenway, which is 100 kilometers long along the Third Ring Road; the Jincheng Greenway, which is 200 kilometers long on the main line, and the rural greenway with a total length of about 300 kilometers along the Second Ring Road. Finally, the “seven roads” include the rivers of the Da Ma River, Jiang’an River, Jinma River, Yangliu River-Xiangjiang River-Jianjiang River-Linxi River, Dongfeng Canal, Minjiang River-Cangxi River and Pihe River, with a total length of about 570 km. The riverside greenway.

This "huge" greenway system will initially build a 1920-kilometre municipal trunk road system in 2025, and by 2040, the city's greenway system will be fully networked.

Zhang Jing said that the large-scale Tianfu Greenway will become the longest greenway in China's city level, and it is also very representative in the construction of global urban greenway. "In the future, Tianfu Greenway will become the city of Chengdu." New business card."

Greenway "series" promotes urban integration and development

From the perspective of time and space, the Tianfu Greenway span is not small. Under the "big hand", what role will Tianfu Green Road play?

According to Gao Jing, dean of the Architectural Design Institute of the Sichuan Provincial Architectural Design Institute, the Tianfu Greenway is not only a municipal project, but a plan closely linked to the industrial layout. The industrial development was fully taken into account at the beginning of the construction. The industry will be placed around the greenway, and the “cityscape interaction and mutual promotion of the industry” will be achieved. “Tianfu Greenway is the 'green artery' that promotes the development of the industry.”

It is understood that the construction of Tianfu Greenway will directly create more than 100,000 jobs, thus attracting high-quality talents to develop. The greenway construction will radiate the surrounding 100 billion-level modern service industry cluster, attracting hundreds of millions of tourists every year, and promoting tourism, innovation, entrepreneurship, cultural creativity and other industrial development.

"In the process of greenway planning and construction, we will implant some industrial formats, such as cultural and creative enterprises, entertainment facilities, etc., resulting in the effect of economic gathering." Senior Engineer of Chengdu Planning and Design Institute, Tianfu Greenway System Planning Project Li Guo, the person in charge, told the reporter of "Daily Economic News".

On the one hand, the industrial formats of various industries are dotted on the greenway, which makes the economic value of the greenway itself prominent; on the other hand, the greenway with the role of “series” will make the economic value of each region in Chengdu connected.

As Wang Xiaoqi, vice president of Chengdu Planning and Design Institute, said that the future development of Chengdu is guided by the direction of optimizing urban spatial layout and reshaping industrial economic geography. Greenway can play a very good traction role.

At present, Chengdu is changing from the "two mountains and one city" to the "one mountain with two cities" pattern, and the twin city era in Chengdu is coming. “From the circle structure to the multi-center and differential development, the Tianfu Green Road can just become the channel for this development carrier, driving the quality of urban development and promoting the flow of population and industry. The series of greenways can break the circle and the second circle. The barrier promotes the integration and development of the entire city.” Wang Xiaoqi analyzed.

Wang Lei, director of the Landscape Planning and Design Institute of Chengdu Architectural Design and Research Institute, also said that the construction of Tianfu Greenway connects Chengdu's three major industrial belts of cultural tourism, international exchange and scientific and technological innovation, and will represent the cultural characteristics of Tianfu culture and green. The human landscape constructed by the Tao has been organically combined.

Production, city, and people have many benefits

In fact, for the city, the planning of the greenway is far-reaching.

In Japan, the Greenway has created scenic spots in various regions, providing urban residents with the opportunity to experience nature. In the United States, Greenway has improved the urban industrial structure, stimulated economic growth, and brought huge social, economic and ecological Benefits; in Germany, the greenway promoted the renewal of the old city, and the dirty industrial area turned into a livable city...

“We designed green roads with different experiences according to the water network, wetlands, shallow hills and woodland along the way. The citizens will move on the green road to change scenery, look at the mountains, see the water, watch the fields, travel the forest, enjoy the flowers, diversify The ecological landscape is once seen.” A designer who participated in the design of the Tianfu Greenway said that the greenway will bring people a better ecological experience.

Li Guo told reporters that Tianfu Greenway has eight functions, including ecological security, slow traffic, leisure travel, urban and rural planning, cultural creativity, sports, agricultural landscape, emergency shelter. More importantly, the greenway construction will be connected to the original fragmented and fragmented green space, which will show the benefits of industry, urban ecology and human values.

“Greenway is not only a road for cycling, it reflects the ambition of a city to practice the concept of green development, promote the development of production, city and people, and coordinate the ecological restoration of the ecological environment.” Zhang Jing said.

According to reports, after the completion of the Jincheng Greenway construction alone, Chengdu will increase 10 square meters of green space per capita, forming an ecological park of 133 square kilometers, and will drive the surrounding land to increase by hundreds of billions.

In addition, the excellent ecological environment built by Tianfu Greenway will become another important attraction for Chengdu to attract “Rongfu”. “To come here to live, to work and settle here, and ultimately bring the long-term economic and social development of the whole city. Sexual development," Gao Jing said.
