Huangpu East Bank Urban Forest
The concept is bold. To plant a forest of two million trees along the waterfront in China’s most populated city, and increase green space in the centre by 25%.
Designed to snake along the Huangpu River for 21km, the urban woodland acts as a literal breath of fresh air – helping Shanghai improve its air quality and grow into a more sustainable city.
The proposed project invites local schoolchildren to act as custodians of the woods – with new outdoor classrooms and libraries planned alongside sports facilities and scenic pathways.
