Service stations make waterfront better
Print Edition
Twenty-two service stations with multiple functions and stylish architectural designs have been built on the West Bund waterfront along the Huangpu River in Xuhui District.
The West Bund Service Spaces provide some 20 types of services, such as information, relaxation point, emergency assistance and tourism help, for visitors to the 8.4-kilometer-long popular riverfront.
The stations, with toilets, resting spaces, mobile phone charging facilities and bag deposits, have served more than 200,000 people since the first of its kind was initially built in 2017. Around 4,000 volunteers have been recruited to man the stations, an official with the West Bund Development Group told a forum yesterday.
People can listen to a lecture, forum or salon as well as read books and relax simultaneously at the stations. They can also have coffee on the open-air terrace overseeing the river bank scenery. Joggers can rest, bathe, or change clothes, while baby care rooms and unisex toilets are also available.
Visitors are encouraged to enter the stations while walking or cycling along the waterfront to watch exhibitions about the history of the West Bund, which was once home to many of the city鈥檚 early industries.
Meanwhile, 18 neighborhood centers have been developed across Xuhui so residents can embrace their community.
Various activities are held at such centers, including talks with top scientists, photo exhibitions about local development and volunteer services.
A flagship center in Tianping Subdistrict, named Phoenix Tree Courtyard, has been set up at the historical complex on 64 Wulumuqi Road S. The main building was built in 1932 and designed by renowned architect Laszlo Hudec.
The two kinds of service centers were talked up at the Shijianhui Forum, with experts, community staff, volunteers and residents sharing their experience and practices related to volunteer services.
