Wuhan will build 100 pocket parks.

Wuhan plans to build 100 pocket parks in 2008, which is definitely a great benefit for Wuhan citizens. You can have a park within 5 minutes of going out and go for a walk in the park every week or even every day. Let's introduce it in detail below.

On May 26th, 2005, Wuhan's annual greening work plan was released. This year, the garden and forestry departments of our city will combine the creation of a national ecological garden city, an international wetland city and the revitalization of 700 hectares of urban green space (equivalent to 15 liberation parks) after the epidemic, so that citizens can get more green benefits. One of the benefits is that in addition to building or rebuilding 30 urban parks, 65,438+000 "pocket parks" will be built. This is the largest pocket park in Wuhan.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture said that Wuhan will launch a two-year "five-minute service circle of urban park green space" with this measure, and plans to build urban parks and "pocket parks" for two consecutive years, so that the service radius of urban park green space will cover more than 90% of residential land, and citizens are expected to enter the park green space within five minutes of leaving home.

100 "pocket parks" will be built this year, and it is expected that they will leave and enter the park within 5 minutes.

This year, including the comprehensive renovation of Guishan Scenic Area and the renovation of Wuhan Zoo, Wuhan will build, renovate and continue to build 30 urban parks, including Longyanghu Park in Hanyang District, Xinyuexi Park in Donghu New Technology Development Zone, Chuanjiangchi Park in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone and Zhangjiawan Park in Hongshan District.

Another highlight of greening construction is the completion of 100 "pocket parks". Pocket Park is a new concept put forward in recent years. Its predecessor is Wuhan's "three small green spaces" and "street parks". It is a small-scale public space, close to people's lives, with a certain flexible use function, mainly using urban green space, idle land and urban micro-space. For example, in the event of major natural disasters, it can be used to build temporary relief tents and distribute relief materials.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Planning Department of the Municipal Bureau of Gardens and Forestry, the area of "Pocket Park" ranges from 300 square meters to 5,000 square meters, and many of them are built by using the "scraps" of urban construction land. The site selection is flexible and the construction period is short, which has advantages in creating the individuality and characteristics of the park.

Statistics show that since 2000, Wuhan has built an average of about 40 "street parks" every year. After the completion of these "pocket parks", the number of "pocket parks" in Wuhan will reach more than 200. Together with other completed city parks, citizens are expected to visit the park within 5 minutes of going out.

In addition, this year, Wuhan will complete the greening of 65.438 million old communities. Conditional old communities will implement three-dimensional greening by planting climbing plants and building "green walls" to effectively improve the greening environment of communities.
