项目说明

PROJECT NARRATIVE

该项目重新构想了上海苏州河沿线高架桥下被忽视的空间，并将其转化为充满活力的公共区域。苏州河是上海工业与文化历史的重要廊道，及其基础设施曾是推动城市贸易与制造业发展的关键动脉，但随着城市扩张，这些空间逐渐被闲置，加剧了城市碎片化并限制了公众使用。

基于对高品质开放空间的迫切需求，项目将这些被忽略的“空隙”再利用为服务社区的多功能枢纽。2024年，运动枢纽与聚合枢纽的建成标志着一期工程的成功收尾，充分展示了这一城市级计划的巨大潜力。

运动枢纽

运动枢纽位于多条高架交织之下，与风景优美的苏州河自然衔接，为各年龄层人群提供多样化的运动设施，包括篮球场、足球场和跑道，有效缓解了这一高密度居住片区户外运动空间不足的问题。

项目强调在地创造力，通过公众投票选出的三种人气动物主题被融入运动分区，赋予空间独特而富有趣味的识别性。连通性是该枢纽的核心特征，多模式步道系统贯穿其中，为步行、跑步与骑行提供安全、便捷的通行路径，并将场地与周边城市肌理紧密连接。同时，以本土植物和透水铺装替代不透水混凝土，有效降低内涝风险、增强城市韧性，在提升环境可持续性的同时，也改善了使用体验。

聚合枢纽

聚合枢纽的构想源于运动枢纽的成功经验，并诞生于新冠疫情时期，旨在于后疫情时代重建社会连接。这一高度灵活的场所鼓励多元互动，促进公众参与。项目团队与交通管理部门协作，重新界定行人与车辆的关系，营造更安全、更易达的环境，将原本生硬的基础设施转化为以安全与包容为优先的公共空间。

艺术表达在塑造聚合枢纽的空间特质中发挥了重要作用。再利用的工业材料（如管道）既致敬了场地历史，还能引导公众与城市记忆产生互动。本地街头艺术家的作品为场所注入真实而鲜活的文化层次，展现社区独有的气质。精心设置的互动照明确保空间在夜间依然充满活力，使其持续成为宜人的公共目的地。

在长期可持续运营方面，社区成员积极参与场地内咖啡馆的建设与管理，为后续维护与运营提供稳定收入。自开放以来，聚合枢纽不断向周边绿地延展，逐步发展为承载多样社区活动的活跃场所。作为区域性的文化焦点，它吸引了广泛的媒体关注，成为社区认同与自豪感的象征。

总体而言，上海桥下枢纽展示了审慎而具资源意识的城市设计如何将被忽视的基础设施转化为包容性的公共空间。通过彰显在地历史、强化城市连通性并促进社会交往，该项目不仅重塑了城市生活方式，也为全球高密度城市提供了可复制、可持续的更新范式。

PROJECT NARRATIVE

Shanghai Underpass Hubs reimagine neglected spaces beneath overpasses along the Suzhou River—a corridor integral to Shanghai’s industrial and cultural history—transforming them into dynamic public areas. Once a vital artery for trade and manufacturing, the Suzhou River and its infrastructure fueled the city’s growth but became underused as Shanghai expanded, exacerbating urban fragmentation and limiting public access.

Recognizing the need for high-quality open spaces, the project repurposes these neglected voids into multifunctional hubs for community use. The recent completion of the Sports Hub and Gathering Hub in 2024 marks the successful conclusion of the first phase, showcasing the vast potential of this citywide initiative.

Sports Hub

Nestled beneath a network of overpasses and seamlessly integrated with the scenic Suzhou River, the Sports Hub provides diverse amenities for people of all ages—including basketball courts, soccer fields, and running tracks—addressing the pressing shortage of outdoor sports facilities in this dense residential area.

Emphasizing local creativity, three popular animal themes—selected through a public voting process—are incorporated into the sports zones, infusing the space with a unique and playful identity. Connectivity is a defining feature, with multi-modal trails weaving through the hub, offering safe and accessible routes for walking, running, and cycling while linking the space to the surrounding urban fabric. Additionally, replacing impermeable concrete with native plantings and permeable surfaces mitigates flood risks and enhances urban resilience, improving both environmental sustainability and recreational appeal.

Gathering Hub

Inspired by the success of the Sports Hub, the Gathering Hub was conceived during the COVID-19 era to restore social connectivity in a post-pandemic world. This flexible venue fosters diverse interactions, encouraging public engagement. Collaboration with the transportation department redefined the relationship between pedestrians and vehicles, creating a safer, more accessible environment and transforming once-harsh infrastructure into an inviting public realm that prioritizes safety and inclusivity.

Artistic expression plays a pivotal role in shaping the Gathering Hub’s identity. Repurposed industrial materials, such as tubes, pay homage to the area’s heritage while fostering interaction with history. Works from local street artists add an authentic cultural layer, giving voice to the neighborhood’s character. Strategic interactive lighting keeps the space vibrant after dusk, ensuring its continued use as a welcoming public destination.

To support long-term sustainability, community members played an active role in creating and managing an on-site café, generating revenue for ongoing maintenance and operations. Since its opening, the Gathering Hub has expanded into neighboring green spaces, evolving into a vibrant venue for a wide range of community events. As a cultural focal point, it has drawn significant media attention and has stood as a symbol of community pride.

Overall, the Shanghai Underpass Hubs exemplify how thoughtful, resource-conscious urban design can transform neglected infrastructure into inclusive public spaces. By celebrating local heritage, enhancing connectivity, and fostering social interaction, the project not only revitalizes urban life but also serves as a model for adaptable, sustainable renewal in high-density cities worldwide.
