Since 2015, the shanghai city institute of urban planning and design has held annual micro-studies competitions. These micro-projects are issue-oriented and focus on emerging issues in the implementation of current urban planning, as well as on micro-urban construction. The series selects several micro-studies from 2017 and draws “big thinking” on urban development from “small issues”。

At the beginning of 2018, 45 km of open public space on both sides of the yangtze river became the subject of popular debate in shanghai. As the heart of the yangpo bridge between the two banks of the yangpo bridge and seoura bridge, the river is open, giving citizens the opportunity to “see the river, touch it green, enjoy history and enjoy fashion”. With a world-class coastal zone as its vision, shanghai has achieved a return to its people through the creation of a “walkable, readable, warm and attractive coastal space”。
However, for 45 km, it might be more appropriate to describe “23 km in pushi + 22 km in pudong”. At the same time as the construction of three separate tracks (“walks, runways, riding lanes”) has been completed on both sides of the river, the slow movement between the eastern banks of puship seems to remain a challenge. The four central areas, the nanpo bridge, the yangura bridge, the lupo bridge and the seoura bridge, cross the main bridge of the huangura river, both as important nodes of the coastal space and as invisible breakpoints to the slow-moving system。

It's an invisible view
As the best testimony to the development of the vietnamese city in shanghai for 30 years, each bridge enshrined the pride of the city in the field of engineering and the city's landmark in the hearts of its citizens. In fact, the three other bridges, with the exception of daeba bridge, were initially built with non-motorized lanes and up and down elevators for tour. The rupees arch project, known as the “first arch of the world”, was hard to get around the world。
In recent years, the slow-moving system of the bridge has been shut down successively, taking into account the security risks associated with non-motorized vehicles and pedestrian access to the bridge, as part of the shanghai-based high-rise ring. The tourist tourism project on the bridge has since faded. The bridge has become a closed section for motor vehicles alone, and the landscape on the bridge has become a legend。
The bridge has historically been used slowly to comb. This post is part of our special coverage syria protests 2011。
Slow down to the bridge, nostalgic or fresh
In october 2017, during the celebration of the shanghai museum of contemporary art, our “pujiang upbridge team” launched the “pujiang bridge slow-opening experience coupons”, aimed at sharing interesting knowledge about the slow-moving of the bridge, collecting personal memories of slow-moving up the bridge and stimulating more discussion about slow-moving up the bridge。
It's a great deal of business for the “pu gang bridge slow open-air coupons”。
Among the citizens involved in the event, some recalled that, more than 20 years ago, for the first time, they had gone to the nanpo bridge, overlooking the excitement of the mother's river; others had shared the pride of climbing the rupou bridge with their families, and the far world park. There are cyclists who complain about the embarrassment of being able to cross the river when the ferry stops; there are also vietnamese commuters from the zaganian river who think about the possibility of crossing the river to work. Reference was also made to the “fashion bridge” programme, which had not been achieved at expo. These slow-to-bridge memories and visions have inspired our thinking: a romantic dream of going up the bridge, perhaps just as a potential demand for some people
I'm going up to the bridge to experience a pre-sale event。
By 2020, there will be an average demand of 490,000 bicycles crossing the river in the outer ring (this figure represents about 5. 8 per cent of the total number of bicycles travelling across the city). According to traffic projections, ferrying, the only current way of crossing the river with bicycles, will only cover the total traffic demand of 160,000 crossings per day by 2020. This means that the need to cross the river at least 330,000 times a day cannot be met with existing planning。
In the shanghai integrated transport system plan, which was prepared in 2014, ferrying remains the only way to achieve future cycling linkages between the two sides of the huangura river. Can the bridge take on some of the slow-moving functions in the face of the growing demand for slow-moving transatlantics
In fact, the need for slow travel has been fully taken into account in the construction and renovation of a new bridge on the huangpo river. As the first bridge on the huangpo river, the matsuura bridge began its transition from a dual-use bus to a slow bridge in october 2017. The lower bridge was adapted to the original rail bridge to meet the need for slow travel。
The quinyang road and viet nam bridge, which began in july 2017, will also be placed on the wrong floor of the bridge, which will provide independent space for pedestrian and non-motorized traffic. The “ slow transition” of the bridge is about to become a reality in the outer circle. So, where is the difficulty of re-entering the bridge at a slower pace, in the middle of a densely populated city with more concentrated demand

At the engineering and technical level, the bridge located in the lower part of the huangpo river (suh dae-hashi to wu guangwon) is a high bridge with a net height of 46 to 48 metres and an actual surface height of over 60 metres, which is more difficult to connect with the existing slow-moving system in the city. The three bridges, the nanpo bridge, the yangura bridge and the rupes bridge, have an average length of 1,000 metres and have an average slope of over 6 per cent, making it difficult for pedestrians to bridge with non-motorized vehicles. At the same time, there are problems with the narrowness of the bridge and the lack of safe separation between the motorway. Factors such as wind on the bridge, car traffic and noise also lead to poor slow travel experience。
In the operational management of the bridge, there are many hazards such as traffic safety, high-altitude throwing and suicide. Taking into account the significant impact of potential traffic accidents on city-wide transport operations, the total prohibition does not seem to be a more secure option. According to shanghai river bridge operating management ltd., which is responsible for operational management, security upgrades during the world expo, as well as difficulties in maintaining operations as a result of fewer visitors, are the main reasons for closing down the trip function。
Back to the historical process of the development of the hong kong river in shanghai, the construction of the hong kong river bridge in huangpo was initially designed to serve pudong, giving priority to the need for mobile transport. Many shanghai citizens have the impression that the bridge is a high-rise closed ring belonging to motor vehicles. Today, nearly 30 years after its development, the construction of shanghai city has moved from a massive incremental phase to a functional upgrading phase. The need for future transport links between the two sides of the yangtze river would benefit from a gradual transition from transport-based rapid traffic to a combination of slow and multi-modal transport. In the process of building a world-class coastal zone in shanghai, the bridge on the huangpo river is all the more necessary to reconcile cultural and slow-moving functions。
Experience in new york
The experience of new york city in building slow-track systems through bridges may provide some inspiration to shanghai, also faced with the challenges of the development of the cross-border river. The average width of the east river, new york, which is the same as that of shanghai, is close to the yellow river, about 400 metres. Between 1883 and 1909, new york completed successively the main bridge building across the ester river. As an important element of the city's historical culture, the bridge retains the function of walking and cycling, providing citizens with the possibility of daily cross-border and up-bridge tours. The safe separation of slow-walkers from bridge-side motor vehicles was achieved through the establishment of a fully closed slow-track corridor。

In recent years, in the context of new york city traffic policy tilting towards bicycles, the bridge's cycling function has been enhanced as an important node of the city-wide slow-passage route. According to the new york department of transportation, the number of rides on the four main trans-border bridges has been growing at an average annual rate of nearly 20 per cent over the past five years; by 2016, its total number of rides had reached an average of 226,000 per day。

How is the tour function of the bridge coordinated with daily traffic needs? New york also faces technical challenges。
The famous brooklyn bridge was once known as the “most unmissable” and “highest risk factor” bicycle lane in the united states. In 2016, an average of 10,000 pedestrians and 3,500 cyclists per day shared a slow road about 6 metres wide, with some security risks. Under the new york city department of transportation, two additional dedicated slow-walks were added to the existing structural platform facility to expand the range of cycling spaces and to separate on foot from riding. At the same time, the upper- and lower-bridge tracks and the upper-bridge routes were reprogrammed to optimize the up-bridge experience。

The enthusiasm of the citizens of new york “to the bridge” will also be strongly supported by the government during major sports festivals. Every year, during the five boro bike tour cycle in new york, the government fully opens the bridge through time-limited traffic controls. Civil society organizations (e. G. Transportation alternatives) that work to promote slow urban upgrading have also played a catalytic role in many slow bridge upgrading projects。
However, not all of the slow-paced re-engineering of the bridge was smooth. New yorkers are enthusiastic about going up the bridge, and they are experiencing considerable resistance in the slow retrofitting of the virazano strait bridge. In the case of cross-administrative divisions, how to validate the need for the project and seek financial support has become the greatest difficulty in achieving the 50-mile slow-paced vision of harbor ring, the gulf of new york。

Starting at the bridge, i'd like to move slowly across the river
Over the past year, shanghai has witnessed the advancement of cross-border projects in the pujiang and the release of citizens ' need to ride in the shared bicycle age. Since 2018, a new three-year plan of action will be launched on both sides of the river, and we have reason to believe that, starting with the slow reopening of the river bridge, the dream of a slow crossing of the river between the two sides will finally be realized. Issues for further discussion in the near future include:
1. Pilot roll-out to relive the bridge experience。
In conjunction with the opening of the world expo and the construction of the future world wide cultural park, the rup bridge is perhaps the most promising open pilot in the near future. Consideration could be given to the restoration of the arches of the bridge and the gradual slow opening of the bridge through mechanisms such as time management。
The festival was activated to foster a “upbridge culture”。
For example, a bridge open day has been set up to involve more citizens in the slow-ontake experience. To borrow the official slogan of the five new york troupe cycle race: “this day, these roads belong to you, these bridges belong to you, the city belongs to you — perhaps there is no better way to experience this city than this.”
3. Public participation to promote equity in access。
The wong po river slow crossing programme is only one chapter in the slow transformation of cities. The shift in the concept of the right to road allocation is perhaps more critical than the promotion at the technical level. This process will undoubtedly require broader public support and stronger practical testing。
It's a slow-moving, phased vision。
The pujiang upbridge team is looking for more people to join in exploring the feasibility of the project and sharing the view on the future bridge. May these transcontinental giants, which carry the glory of urban development, also become warm heroes we can touch in close touch。
