黄埔东岸城市森林

黄埔东岸城市森林
Huangpu East Bank Urban Forest

东岸集团提出对上海黄浦江东岸进行重大改造；发起一项国际设计竞赛，总体规划21公里的滨水区。挑战在于通过创造世界级的公共场所和改善通往河流边缘的通道，进一步释放城市的潜力。
A major transformation of the east bank of Shanghai’s Huangpu River was proposed by the East Bank Group; initiating an international design competition to master plan 21-kilometres of the waterfront. The challenge was to further unlock the city’s potential by creating world-class public places, and improving access to the river’s edge.

哈塞尔提交了一份总体规划，将建立世界上最大的城市森林。我们的愿景是创建“黄埔东岸城市森林”——一片由200万棵树组成的连续林地——为上海200万儿童每人种植一棵树。随着孩子们的成长，森林也在成长。这将需要20年才能实现，但将是这座城市的遗产——我们可以从今天开始。
HASSELL delivered a master plan that would establish the world’s largest urban forest. Our vision was to create the ‘Huangpu East Bank Urban Forest’ – a continuous woodland of two-million trees – one tree planted for each of Shanghai’s two-million children. As the children grow, so would the forest. It would take 20 years to deliver, but would be a legacy for the city – one we could start on today.

我们的总体规划提出了核心概念要素：身份、联系、定位和激活。它为滨水区提供了一个相互关联、充满活力的新身份，与上海美丽的季节相呼应，创造出一系列不断变化的公共空间，为每个人提供一些东西。
Our master plan proposed the central concept elements of: identity, connection, orientation and activation. It presents a connected, and vibrant new identity for the waterfront that plays with the beautiful seasons of Shanghai to create an ever-changing series of public spaces that offer something for everyone.

_在后工业时代为浦东创造新的身份。
These concepts were underpinned by five key design drivers to realise the major opportunities of the site, including:
_Creating a continuous waterfront for walking and cycling
_Unlocking the riverside and activating the public space
_Returning to nature and restoring the environment
_Preserving city heritage and creating new destinations, and
_Creating a new identity for Pudong in the post-industrial era.

Huangpu East Bank Urban Forest

Connecting Shanghai’s people with the waterfront, and its new green identity

黄埔东岸城市森林将为上海壮丽的城市天际线创造一个令人惊叹的自然环境，并在地铁站和公交车站、电视和t恤衫上以及人们的心中呈现一个新的城市形象。我们的总体规划提出了一个贯穿整个网站的引人注目且清晰的品牌——它的寻路、营销和标识。这种可见性旨在扩大整个城市森林的存在。
The Huangpu East Bank Urban Forest would create a stunning natural setting for Shanghai’s spectacular city skyline, and present a new city identity featured in metro stations and bus stops, on television and t-shirts – and in the hearts and minds of people. Our master plan proposed a striking and clear brand that runs throughout the site – its wayfinding, marketing and identity. This visibility aims to expand the presence of the forest across the entire city.

Pathways for walking and cycling would meander through the forest and a system of walking loops would heighten the promenade experience – allowing new perspectives and overcoming existing barriers such as waterways, ferry terminals and industrial sites.

A sequence of playful orientation markers, designed by TTT Architects, was recommended to guide people through the landscape – enlivening the waterfront with a range of community and commercial offerings, including an educational program, library, cafe and sporting hubs.

国际规模的大型活动空间可以与体育设施和室外教室一起，供当地人使用，也可以与朋友和家人一起放松。还可以邀请当地学校通过植树活动参与森林的创建和管理。
Dramatic event spaces on an international scale could be tucked alongside sporting facilities and outdoor classrooms for locals, and spaces to relax with friends and family. Local schools could also be invited to participate in the creation and custodianship of the forest through tree-planting events.

The urban forest would have a significant impact on the city. It would expand green space by 25%, improve air quality and energy efficiency, and create new places to gather and celebrate – actively supporting Shanghai’s aspiration to become a more sustainable, attractive and prosperous global city.

这些可能性通过令人信服的详细设计概念传达，并由图形、视频、演示和社交媒体的可访问组合提供支持。我们提交的黄埔东岸城市森林方案得到了决赛评委会和广大社区的支持。在在线论坛上，我们为比赛制作的短片在短短三天内就有超过25000次的浏览量，这个概念赢得了人们的选择投票。这项工作还导致了弗拉明戈正在进行的一项研究项目——探索人们与上海市树木的情感联系。
These possibilities were communicated through a compelling detailed design concept, supported by an accessible mix of graphics, video, presentations and social media. Our Huangpu East Bank Urban Forest submission was embraced by both the competition jury, as a finalist, and the wider community. In online forums, the short video we produced for the competition had more than 25,000 views in just three days and the concept won the People’s Choice vote. The work has also led to an ongoing research project with Flamingo – exploring people’s emotional connection to trees in the city of Shanghai.
