CCTV News: Spring is in full bloom, and it is a good time to go out for activities. In order to make residents more convenient for exercise, in recent years, Hangzhou has used various urban corners and idle lands to transform them into sports corners and living corners, which has facilitated residents' sports and leisure.

The reporter came to Xianlingang Greenway in Cangqian Street, Yuhang District, Hangzhou. Look, there are many tall buildings around it, which is a gathering place for the science and technology industry in the west of Hangzhou, with both office buildings and living functional areas. In the past, although everyone would usually walk and run on the Linhe Trail, the overall utilization rate of the space was relatively low. The local streets also began to renovate the place in 2023, adding public activity spaces with colorful and warm colors, with 2 badminton courts and 8 table tennis tables, which became lively all of a sudden.

This sports park was previously a step-like open space by the river, which was empty and lacked usage functions, and had a low usage rate. After the renovation, the fan-shaped arrangement of the river square was retained, with a wide view, and the badminton and table tennis courts were in the center. Looking down from the steps, it felt like watching a live game. On this 1.25-kilometer greenway, there are also rest chairs and health education bulletin boards every 100 meters, so that the small space can be used for the maximum use.

In addition, this trail also plays the advantages of the regional science and technology innovation industry. There is an AI smart large screen here. Sports enthusiasts can check in in in segments when they come here and record their sports mileage data. With the colorful sports space, coupled with the embellishment of surrounding rivers and cityscapes, this place has now become a check-in place for citizens to relax and exercise and get close to nature.

The popularity here has always been very high, radiating to 12,000 permanent residents in the surrounding area, especially on weekends, many people will make an appointment with three or five friends to have a refreshing football match. Hangzhou has a developed water system. Like this sports park, it uses the waterfront open space transformed from the coastal areas of the city river. There are more than 280 places in the entire Hangzhou city, with an area of ​​about 380,000 square meters. Trails and sports parks bring residents a happiness within reach.

Activate the "sleeping" area. There is a different world under the bridge.

The original ordinary riverside square has become a sports park. In addition to leisure and exercise, it is also a good place to walk your children. On the other hand, the city is busy with traffic, and a record of space under the bridge is also being staged.

This is a sports venue covering an area of ​​20,800 square meters. What makes it special is its location. Looking up, above it is a large interchange Shide Interchange. As the first embedded urban basketball park in Zhejiang Province, it has 4 standard basketball courts, 1 half-court basketball courts, 3 tennis courts, and 11 embedded sports fields, including a 5-side football field, a gas volleyball court, and a roller skating area. There is also a 1,590 square meters plastic sports track around it, radiating nearly 20,000 people within a surrounding 1.5 kilometers. At this moment, it was raining in the sky, but everyone's enthusiasm for exercise remained unabated. It is not enough to have a venue alone. If you want to exercise, you have to have equipment. These transformers have also thought of it. This is a sports supplies shared cabinet, which contains sports equipment such as basketball, football, badminton, etc. You can rent it with one click by just scanning the code on your mobile phone. With it, more people can have a football match that can be played whenever they want after school.

In order to provide more diverse and convenient services, an urban management station is also built next to the sports field to allow residents and outdoor workers to take a break and drink water. But the vibrant venue in front of me used to be a piece of urban gray space under an overpass.

Since its opening in 2022, this park has served more than 400,000 people, the venue is getting hotter and more and more people are.

Respect the needs of residents and the corners are more "literary"

In the interview, the staff of urban planning and transformation pointed out that the effective use of urban space should be centered on the needs of residents. In addition to exercise and fitness, everyone's needs for cultural life are also indispensable.

The reporter came to the roof of a three-dimensional parking lot. This place was used as a public cultural space, a charity sale, a literary performance, and a life creative market. It can be said to be full of literary style. From vacant space to full of popularity, it is now full of vitality and enthusiasm.

In Nanteng Community, Wuchang Street, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, the corridor and overpass connect different regional modules. The optimized spatial layout improves the convenience of life. The integrated three-dimensional space creates a cultural "habitat". Some waterfront areas in Hangzhou have also been built into reading spaces based on their own characteristics, from rivers covered with algae and unobstructed by people, becoming a good place for residents to check in for leisure.

Under the viaduct, street corner open space, underground passages, etc. are all urban gray spaces. They are easily forgotten or underutilized, and there are many people involved. Therefore, how to promote multi-party collaboration and establish a long-term operation and management mechanism has become a major challenge in the transformation process. To this end, relevant departments have also actively explored relevant solutions.

It is understood that in recent years, Hangzhou City has actively revitalized and utilized various corner space resources, and through scientific planning and renewal and transformation, it has created embedded sports venues, waterfront cultural and sports spaces, pocket parks and other public facilities that are convenient and beneficial to the people. As of the end of February this year, the city has renovated and utilized more than 770 "corner spaces" with a total area of ​​1.12 million square meters.
