I dont see the point! there is still a 6 lane road between the building and the water! I was suposed to be car free, only lanes for buses/LRT

I suppose less traffic on the bund would mean easier for pedestrians to cross it, hence people are more enticed to access the waterfront. I also remember reading an article saying the gov wanted to bring luxury department stores and other luxury hotel/restaurant into the historic buildings along the waterfront, and a condition of those establishments moving in is that pedestrians on the waterfront are able to easily access the buildings.

Chan Krieger Sieniewicz to Redesign Shanghai Riverfront

By Edward Keegan

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.–BASED Chan Krieger Sieniewicz (CKS) has won a two-stage international competition to redevelop a 1.8-kilometer-long section of Shanghai, China's Bund waterfront along the Huangpu River. This section of shoreline is opposite the Pudong district, where towers are proliferating at a furious pace. “Our project links the past to the future,” says CKS project director Liang Zhao. “On the one side, you have 1930s banks and institutional buildings. On the other, you have 21st century skyscrapers,” says Zhao.

Today, a promenade atop a levee and 10-lane highway separates the riverfront from the city; the city's effort to relocate the highway underground provided the opportunity for the redevelopment. “Our work focuses on the area between the promenade and the existing buildings,” says Zhao.

The CKS scheme proposes connections between the existing promenade, the city, and the waterfront through bridges, landscaping, and a new boulevard with a wide median. Reducing on-grade traffic to four lanes will create a better pedestrian experience. Aesthetically deficient underpasses will be replaced by more urbane street crossings along the boulevard.

Individual places are proposed as sites for new activities and programming. These include a viewing tower, a community park, a 200-meter-long floating “barge park,” and a pedestrian bridge. Folded landscape planes help mitigate the topographic challenges of the site. Pavilions appear between the folds, while the landscaped areas become relaxed green places for picnicking and ad hoc recreation.

The design is part of extensive urban redevelopments that the rapidly expanding city is implementing for the Shanghai 2010 Expo. Collaborating with CKS on the design are Klopfer Martin Design Group and Beijing Urbanscape Co.

Marquinho · May 6th, 2008, 09:27 AM

I found it horrible. Hope it wont look like the renders!

Jim856796 · May 8th, 2008, 05:17 AM

The plans said that a 4-lane roadway was to be built. Yet the renderings show the new roadway has 6 lanes.

chenshenglun · May 8th, 2008, 11:41 AM

i'd go with the report rather than the rendering for a count of the lanes... also it could be a bike lane

Scion · May 8th, 2008, 11:43 AM

They could have 2X2 traffic lanes, and then 1X1 bus lane on the sides.

Marquinho · May 29th, 2008, 08:34 AM

read today in SH Daily that they realised the blueprint of the make over and its on display in Urban Panning Museum. Hope we will get new renders soon!

The Peace Hotel is located on the Bund. I heard that it is closed for renovations until 2009.

That looks a lot better than it does now. But the rendering is incredibly misleading - the Huangpu River will NEVER be that blue.

Jim856796 · July 12th, 2008, 04:33 AM

Should be seeing photos of the Bund transformation progress soon.

abcgoodest · July 26th, 2008, 06:41 PM

Taking out the expressway and put up traffic lights. What is the point? Stimulate traffic problems?
