YANGPU BA DAI TOU Shanghai, China The new master plan for Yangpu Ba Dai Tou aims to activate the Yangpu riverfront with the goal of restoring an aged industrial area in Shanghai back to its former life as a vital and vibrant residential district. The master plan weaves together residential new construction with office, hotel, retail spaces, parks and public amenities to create a fully integrated mixed-use district with a focus on connectivity. The key to the interrelationships between the spaces and throughout the master plan is the dynamic Dragon Spine, a pedestrian connector that brings life to the area. The integrated district combines urban density, greenspace and strong pedestrian linkages with the repurposing of select historic buildings to create an engaging, multi- faceted community. MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVES Build a vibrant residential district. Promote reuse of buildings and historic preservation. • Activate the Huangpu riverfront. Emphasize pedestrian circulation by accommodating vehicular traffic on a separate plane.
