Abstract
For cities facing post-industrial transition, urban greenways are proven strategies to activate urban spaces and improve the sustainability of cities. However, significant challenges remain when seeking to link greenways as a greenway network and integrate greenway networks to urban spaces. Given this shortcoming, Yantai National Economic and Technical Development Zone (YEDZ) was selected as a representative case. This paper analyzed the potential role of greenway network and requirements of post-industrial development for the urban environment. It seeks to develop a regeneration approach that integrating urban greenway planning with overall urban reform. Our priorities are providing a pedestrian network with non-utilitarian rhythms by activating former industrial spaces, restructuring urban green spaces, and integrating greenway networks into diverse urban spaces. In this way, it reveals the comprehensive benefits of the urban greenway network and improves overall urban form - multiple benefits, including economic development and social rewards, be created in the regeneration.
Highlights
Greenways have always been seen as essential spaces with ecological, leisure, and aesthetic values [1]
Greenway network planning and urban regeneration in the East Yantai National Economic and Technical Development Zone (YEDZ) Due to the requirements of further sustainable development in the post-industrial period, a regeneration approach that combines greenway network planning and overall urban reform has been conducted by utilizing several necessary actions
From the distribution of available land, there is a belt between Zhujiang Road and Jinshajiang Road that is located in the central area of the East YEDZ
Summary
Greenways have always been seen as essential spaces with ecological, leisure, and aesthetic values [1]. To deal with spatial issues of industrial cities, Lynch used an open space network model to create an interactive open space system that broke up the former spatial structure [7] It emphasized a parallel loose rhythm network with pedestrian and cycling experiences, rather than high-speed commercial or vehicle transportation areas. This organic open space system broke up the existing solid urban structure and mobilized urban life with diversity and new development opportunities. A regeneration approach is explored to introduce greenway planning as a part of comprehensive urban reform It seeks to enhance the accessibility of green open space and transform traditional industrial urban areas into a pedestrian-friendly city area with a loose rhythm of life which may further lead to sustainable cities and communities. This proposal seeks to mobilize low-efficiency land and create opportunities for further development in the post-industrial period by creating a high-quality built environment
