Case study on the landscape of Yuhang Entrance of Shanghai-Hangzhou expressway under the background of the park city

Abstract

Constructing the "Park City" has become a new trend in urban construction and development. Under this background, as an essential part of the urban system, the expressway entrance plays a symbolic role in constructing park cities. In this case, building a park-style entrance of a city is the quickest way to exhibit the image of a park city and an important means to realize the concept of the park city. Yuhang Entrance of Shanghai-Hangzhou expressway is the main entrance in the north of Hangzhou city, where we have effectively and sustainably built an ecological compound welcoming park with strong identification and harmony between human and nature. Besides, the park at the entrance of the city blends in the life of citizens, thus human, the city, environment, and industry being harmoniously integrated. Therefore, it is shown that Yuhang Entrance has become a beautiful scenery line under the guidance of the concept of the "Park City", which can be a classic case and a valuable reference for other designers.
