中山路是一个长 9.8 公里的大型基础设施改造项目，它穿越了宁波城的核心。在 2015 年，宁波市政府意识到当时的中山路的功能和环境较差，于是邀请景观设计师作为主要设计顾问，和交通工程师、建筑师一起为宁波改造这个大尺度和多维度的城市中轴。这个项目是中国景观的典型——在城市的尺度上大型、大胆、具有变革性。▼从项目的大致中心朝西段终点拍摄的夜景鸟瞰 © PFS Studio | 摄影师陈乾斌 Aerial night shot taken from the approximate center of the project looking towards its western terminus

Zhongshan Road is a 9.8 km long major public infrastructure redevelopment project running through the heart of Ningbo. In 2015, recognizing its poor functionality and condition, the City engaged landscape architects to act as co-prime consultants, partnering with transportation engineers to conceive a new multi-modal, multi-dimensional urban corridor for Ningbo. This project is Landscape Architecture in China – big, bold and trans formative at a city scale.

中山路穿过宁波的地理中心，是城市最具有历史意义的路线，在历史中跨越千年并与丝绸之路紧密联系。景观建筑师们重新设计了 9.8 公里的道路范围，穿越了两个行政区，对应各自现有和规划的用地：中央商务区-“未来城市”和“繁华商埠”；历史区—“府城古韵”，两端的居住区—“塘河人家”和“宜居绿城”。

Zhongshan Road runs through the geographic center of Ningbo and is the cityʼs most historic transportation route with a history spanning thousands of years, closely connected to the original Silk Road. The landscape architects were selected to undertake the redesign of a central 9.8 KM stretch of road which passes through two distinct areas and responds to existing or planned land uses within each: the historic zone; the CBD zone and; two residential zones, bracketing east and west ends of the project.
