The Analysis of the Slow-Traffic and Lingering Space System of the Bridges and both Banks - Taking the Estuary Area of Suzhou Creek in Shanghai as an Example

It is necessary to construct the slow-traffic and lingering space system of the bridges and both banks in the motorized era. It’s the main part of the city planning for non-motorized travel. Also, it’s important for the development of the cross-river slow-traffic system and the comprehensive development of bridges and both banks. We investigate and analyze the traffic volume, lingering activities and cross-river walking path in the estuary area of Suzhou Creek. And we found three things. Firstly, the cross-river slow-traffic and lingering space is not smooth and attractive. Secondly, the riverside slow-traffic and lingering space is not continuous and extensive. Thirdly, the bridge slow-traffic and lingering space is not safe and comfortable. Based on these, some optimizing strategies are proposed. For example, it is recommended to construct the continuous cross-river slow-traffic network, to establish the both-bank lingering space system around the center of river, and to build bridges with slow-traffic and lingering functions.

Study on Urban Bridge Layout Oriented by Slow-Traffic and Lingering Space - Taking Shanghai Suzhou Creek as an Example

Through the investigation of bridges along Shanghai Suzhou Creek, we find a lot of problems. Firstly, Bridge layout is unreasonable. Secondly, mobiles occupy the main traffic volume. Thirdly, slow-traffic and lingering space isn’t comfortable. This study proposes the bridge planning and design idea oriented by slow-traffic and lingering space. Learning from overseas experiences, we put forward the bridge layout suggestions for Suzhou Creek from three aspects. First is to construct the reasonable distance between slow-traffic and lingering bridges. Second is to build the bridge system suitable for fast and slow-traffic. The last is to connect the cross-river attracted sources and bridges. Based on the above, we propose the bridges layout suggestion plan of Suzhou Creek.

The Construction of Evaluation System for the Initial Rainwater Reduction Facilities in Shanghai

Initial rainwater pollution is an important non-point source pollution of urban drainage systems. The application of storage tanks and other reduction facilities has play a key role in reducing first flush pollution. Because of the lack of scientific evaluation system, the evaluation is disorderly and there are many operational problems. This case is based on the reduction facilities research of Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, through which a standard evaluation system and implementation procedure are built to perfect the incomprehensive and unscientific system, so that the efficiency can be improved.
