Expat invited to explore district icons
Online Edition
THE city's foreign affairs office has launched a promotion campaign with local district governments to invite expats to visit iconic venues of each district.
Over 300 foreign consuls, overseas companies' officials, foreign organizations' representatives and students have visited the riverside area of Yangpu District as the first leg of the campaign.
"The promotion aims to create better environments for local districts to carry out international cooperation as well as let the foreigners better understand Shanghai," said Yang Xiaosong, director of the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office.
Yangpu's riverside area was once home to many of the earliest Chinese industries, including the earliest paper and textile mills, shipyard, water plant, coal gas plant as well as a fish market, most of them dating back almost a century ago.
The 15.5-kilometer-long area by the side of the Huangpu River is now being planned into a public space for residents and tourists. It will include parks, pedestrian and cycle paths, as well as renovated industrial buildings. Many original industrial heritages have been kept along the riverbank.
"The riverside area reminds me the High Line Park in New York," said Alton, an American architect with AECOM. The High Line Park is built on the disused railways in Manhattan.
Yangpu's riverside development plan is part of a Shanghai blueprint to create 45km long continuous public area on both sides of the river by the end of 2017.
