The Streetscapes Issue of Landscape Architect and Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. Zhongguancun Avenue Urban Park is one of several great projects we are excited to showcase on LandscapeArchitect.com.

 

The project transformed an obsolete streetside green buffer into a pedestrian-friendly, ecological, interactive public space. The 9.8-acre linear site connects diverse properties and reintroduces its history in a span of 0.6 miles along Zhongguancun Avenue, on which top universities, libraries, and pioneering I.T. companies are located. Without massive demolition and construction, fresh outdoor experiences as well as the increased land value have ultimately benefited the community after 3-year implementation. Its success also includes intricated coordination among 31 government and private entities authorities, the intention of least impact on the existing use, and a fast but precise construction under restrictions during the pandemic.
