Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
This area is situated in the eastern of the city Chengdu, it has a rich cultural connotation and special industrial history connecting with the city,the years of half a century ago.In the beginning of 1950s, Chengdu became one of the most important electronic industrial base in China, after 1960s many national factories were founded in this area and produced many components of the television, radio, and some part of the military machine. From 90s the new electronic products and IT industry were developing so fast,therefore the factories reduced to manufacture of products, until 2010s all of the factories were disused. We can also find a railway in this area, because at that time people transported the completed product to all the country by train,and the departure was the department of the factory. There is a river through this area, and also have a small wetland by the side of the river. Surrounding this area,many residents who worked in these factories before live there,and also there are some institutional establishment, school and transportation.
Author's perspective
Green infrastructure
I’m so interested in this area,because it’s a valuable place to create a green infrastructure and it has many individual element, which can man integrate and connect with each other by corridor and buffer.As we know,there are old disused buildings ,a river, some small wetland and some vacant place where it had factories before and removed already. I’d like to make a planning to create a new environment for the residents, it will be a great green infrastructure in the future. either the people or the animals will get the benefit from this area.It’s a public space, and constitute of the area include the aspects of ecology, reuse,economy,education and so on.
