In 2020, Sino-Singapore Nanjing Eco High-tech Island officially launched the "Pocket Park Plan". The "Pocket Park Plan" is positioned on Xingyao Jiangxin Island, based on the sustainable development of Nanjing Eco High-tech Island, gives play to the landscape characteristics of Jiangxin Island, takes "galaxy" as the theme, and scattered 30 urban green spaces on the island in series, takes "Community Living Room" as the starting point, inspires the vitality of the blocks, and makes the park temperature and life fireworks within touch.
Nowadays, as the first pocket park launched by Nanjing Eco High-tech Island Pocket Park plan, "Xingying Vitality Theatre" is silently providing much-needed nutrients to the city, and actively responding to many public issues such as public space, shared blocks, and urban water treatment.
/From an agricultural island to an ecological technology island/ More than a decade ago, Jiangxin Island was an isolated island in the Yangtze River, with inconvenient transportation and backward supporting facilities. It was filled with countryside paths criscrised with buildings, vineyards, vegetable fields and old houses, but it was only a bridge away from the bustling Hexi CBD. In May 2009, under the promotion of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, the foundation stone was laid for Nanjing Eco High-tech Island project, which kicked off the development and construction of the whole island. Jiangxin Island was transformed into Nanjing Eco High-tech Island, and its natural geographical advantages made it a future city model jointly built by the Chinese and Singaporean governments. The whole island takes "passenger-vehicle diversion" as the core, builds a green transportation system based on "pedestrian-centered" and "bus + slow slow down", constantly improves the construction of the road network, and there are Jiajiang Bridge, cross-river tunnel, pedestrian bridge, Jiangxin Island Bridge, and subway to connect the island inside and outside, and promote the "island" to accelerate integration into the main city. Like a fortress of ecological health, Nanjing Eco High-tech Island is surrounded by a complete ecological green ring, several large parks constitute the ecological green lung of Jiangxin Island, and 30 pocket green Spaces scattered on the Nanjing Eco High-tech Island rebuild community connections and find the lost "nearby".
/The First Pocket Park Of Nanjing Eco High-tech Island/ Only by returning to the needs of urban residents can the greater value of pocket parks be realized. Xingying Vitality Theater has five major life theaters, including Metasequoia Grove Theater, Starry River Theater, Oxygen Theater, Neighbor Theater and Children’s Exploration Theater, carrying the rest and activities of different people at different times. It is a full-time and all-age community theater, aiming at creating a life stage that co-exists with functionality and ecology, and becoming a vibrant, natural and sustainable green place. Relying on the height difference characteristics of the original terrain of the plot, Xingying Vitality Theater continues and retains the site feeling of metasequoia forest. Based on the concept of sponge city and combined with the smart park system, the Star Shadow Vitality Theater will become a dynamic, natural and sustainable water-friendly community park by connecting the city streets with the park naturally in the way of "shared streets". We want to compare this place to a pocket, and users can easily fit their life into this warm street pocket.
