Qiantang Central Park

A Vertical City Integrating Nature and Urban Life

Qiantang Central Park, strategically located on Xiasha's East-West economic axis in Hangzhou, is near the University Town and Development Zone. Surrounded by educational institutions, tech parks, and commercial areas, it attracts high foot traffic and vibrant activity. A "Vertical City" design concept integrates natural landscapes with urban living, creating a dynamic, multi-functional environment.

Key strategies include converting parking areas into outdoor living rooms with seating and greenery, fostering social interactions. The service road is transformed into a lively café street, enhancing pedestrian walkways to boost local businesses. Multi-level structures with communal podium spaces for dining blend private and public areas seamlessly.

The landscape design embraces "Natural Growth – Shaping Urban Green Hills," with terraced green roofs and interactive ground spaces forming a continuous, but seasonably variable green structure. An Innovation Lounge offers commercial and information services, while the Light Corridor hosts landscape installations and market spaces. The Infinite Sports Loop, a jogging path surrounded by seasonal trees, connects various sports stations. Eco-sustainable features like water reservoirs, rooftop greening, rain gardens, and swales ensure efficient stormwater management.
