Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Beijing's Chaoyang Park Road, a 2.1-kilometer industrial belt, has undergone a transformative renovation, showcasing a fusion of urban landscape and cultural space. The makeover aimed to convert "traffic corridors" into "streetscape spaces," enhancing citizens' travel convenience and the safety and comfort of sightseeing and consumption environments. By incorporating international perspectives and the concept of garden city construction, the project has created a natural ecological street, revamping sidewalks, green belts, and park boundaries. The renovated area now features a 300-meter-long rose corridor, a 650-meter tree-lined wooden boardwalk, and optimized non-motorized zones and greening spaces. Citizens can now walk directly into the park on Chaoyang Park Road, and the surrounding public spaces have been designed to match the architectural style and environment.
