1. Riverside greenbelt
The second phase of construction on a
riverside greenbelt will begin by the end
of this year, according to the district鈥檚
greening authority.
The greenbelt along the Dongjiaojing
River will be nearly the size of 13 stan-
dard football fields when completed. It
is designed under the environmental
concept of a 鈥渟ponge city.鈥?
Under the plan, the ground is paved
with special materials that allow rain-
water to seep through and flow into an
underground system for purification
and storage. Above ground will be a
small area imitating the environment of
a wetland. It can be adjusted to weather
conditions to retain eco-balance.
The greenbelt will be planted with
ginkgo, camphor and cherry trees and
other shrubbery, providing color with
changing seasons. Benches, walkways,
riverside platforms, an island in the
middle of the river and a children鈥檚 play- patronize, with the official opening of
ground also figure in the planning.
Meanwhile, the renovation of Zhabei
Park is now underway. The park, in clas-
sically elegant Chinese style, features

cance, such as the tomb of Song Jiaoren,
a Chinese revolutionary and founder of
the Kuomintang. Parts of the park will
