Citywide new green spaces

AMID an increasing awareness of the human need for nature and nature-like places, Shanghai authorities plan to build at least 1,200 hectares of new green space this year, according to Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau.

This will include 540 hectares of parks and green landscapes, such as the riverside green space along the Huangpu River and the Hongqiao commercial area, and the Central Green Park in Songjiang.

Twenty new parks will be added, bringing the city’s total to 240.

Three suburban parks — the Pujiang Country Park in Minhang, the Jiabei Country Park in Jiading and the Guangfulin Country Park — will be completed and opened to the public this year.

Several older parks will also be renovated.

Planting shelter trees stretching 1,000 meters on the north side of the G15 Highway and in the New Longquan Port in Jinshan District will both kick off. More than 210 kilometers of green corridors will be built, including on the banks of the Huangpu River and along the Outer Ring Road.
