Street it is a lot of people the first impression to a city. If of a city street red-blooded, so this city also can appear have energy; If of a city street look very drab, so this city also is met very drab.
And person travel footpath, those who bear the weight of is appearance and amorous feelings not merely, it is the life and story more, also producing people to be opposite at the same time the imagination of whole city.
Let us from street set out, the footpath of urban person travel that goes having a look to be changed subtly still has many from us far.
On person travel footpath many " obstacle "
The chaos on footpath stops chaos to put car is all the time " long-standing " problem. In recent years, share economic development as Internet, park shares bicycle undeservedly is aggravate more on person travel footpath violate the phenomenon that take a route.
Bazaar of golden rainbow bridge is the main trade group of rainbow bridge area, stand by the subway 2 lines, daily person flow is larger, many citizens are mirrorred, car chaos stops chaos to put a case here more serious. The reporter discovers in visit, the crossroad road both sides near bazaar of golden rainbow bridge, park of thickly dotted ground is worn various car. Many car are in without park of delimit jockey inside area, however optional park is on footpath, compressed current space of the pedestrian greatly. In a side of passageway of bazaar of golden rainbow bridge, car basically stemmed originally capacious passageway, pedestrian can sideways crosses from aperture.
Jin Hong violates at the door bridge bazaar stay a case: Hold back passageway
Rainbow also is such near city of the abundant austral the bridge. The reporter sees in the spot, white line jockeys stop inside area full car, the vehicle that cannot find parking space place can optional park is in roadside. A lot of footpath left one person's current space to the pedestrian only, let bearer to avoid, the pedestrian is squeezed in the greenbelt on the side even, bring about the afforest on the side of footpath to also be damaged.
Occupy managing is footpath another when go up " obstacle " .
Since violate the rules and regulations of Shanghai key punish since the building, broken wall set up shop, occupy management case to decrease somewhat, but have as before " the fish of escape unpunished " . Reporter from Gu Beilu along Maotai road all the way westerly, see two side have way fruit inn, drug-store piles up goods go up in footpath, occupied footpath directly even one most.
Still a bicycle repairs inn flat and direct go up in footpath " start working " , it is to repair a tool on the ground, put in this paragraph of footpath 's charge for " demesne " .
There is a dining room on Maotai road, nod to the meal everyday when, the boss can raise an a few Zhang Xiao tables on footpath, convenient client outside have dinner. But come so, footpath is occupied to go one most, the pedestrian of come-and-go can be in only " lampblack " in through. Not only such, dining-room everyday after knock off, it is smeary completely on footpath with waste paper bits, the old person that lives around has an opinion particularly: "The ground is oily, slip easily on foot, still affect the appearance of a city. Still affect the appearance of a city..
Illume of footpath of nightly person travel is insufficient
Miss Yang goes to work in center of international of golden rainbow bridge, because business is busy, just came off work afterwards at 10 o'clock in the late evening everyday almost, come home to need 15-20 on foot minute, need the road of classics is Gu Beilu and day hill road. Miss Yang is mirrorred to the reporter, going in the heart on deserted driveway total alone in the evening is some insecurity -- the street lamp that goes up because of footpath is not quite bright, still have branch keep out, let rectify paragraph of road to look spooky.
It is Gu Beilu above all, have many meters 100 with a paragraph when Maotai road, day hill road has sex, installed two place street lamp only, be apart distance is longer. Stand by a side of day hill road, booth of a few barbecue can do business to the late night, miss Yang says: "This road is very dark, and often meet unexpectedly a flock of people that came out to drink wine from barbecue inn, I serve as a schoolgirl or hold out fear. I serve as a schoolgirl or hold out fear..
The state of affairs of day hill region that intersects with Gu Beilu is better, span of two dypass lamp is controlled in 20 meters, but because day hill path is wider, the illuminant of footpath or some are insufficient, add way the sweet camphor branches and leaves of two side is exuberant, arboreous shadow enveloped footpath completely, nightly go out to feel devoid safety feels apparently all right.
In addition, some fitness footpath is not worth because of nightly illume, affected the use of around dweller. For instance, the footpath of the road austral lotus, sword plain road, although be located in near Hua Dong Normal University, but ran fitness comes before attracting undergraduates. A schoolgirl that surnames Xu says, because tree is lofty all round this footpath dense, the brightness of edge street street lamp illuminates gymnastical footpath very hard, worry about safe problem, aux would rather the choice runs in the night on footpath so.
Blind not free everywhere is visible
Blind path, just as its name implies is build for convenient blind direct for its only walking trade line. Blind path is spread by two kinds of bricks commonly, one kind is a form guide a brick, guide the travel before the blind; Another kind is the clew brick that contains dot, clew blind this bend. But in actual life, the phenomenon that takes up blind still everywhere is visible.
The reporter discovers in investigation, blind path puts in the following kinds of problems:
One, the design is unreasonable: Blind path or whole road surface are too narrow; Use a form not correctly to guide brick and dot clew brick; Fraise (basically be inspection shaft lid) with blind path coincide; Whole of footpath road surface is rough whole; A few prevent car to enter footpath the road picket of area, became instead " roadblock " .
2, management and conserve not to be pooh-poohed: Motor vehicle of etc of bicycle, autocycle is occupied; Safeguard because of lacking, cause blind path to wear away to identify not easily.
3, optional location is unreasonable: Enclothe completely with the area unfinished closely related the blind.
Dong Changzhi road (close brigade by the way) lid of inspection shaft of a section of a highway and blind path coincide, and blind path and floor tile color are consistent
The reporter interviewed personages of a few eyesight physical disabilities that live in treasure Lin Liucun. Among them, mr Su says: "Blind my person does not go, it is the old partner accompanies me to go out. I feel the biggest question jockeys in disorder namely, hold blind talk, also occupy footpath, the road does not have a law to go. " Mr Cao says so: "Blind I now and then had gone, but I identify inexperience, often go crooked. I not quite the habit uses blind stick, because blind bastinado is very light, my age is old, it is flabby and easy to walk fall, blind bastinado does not make go up at all force, or crutch is good, but it is more difficult to rely on crutch to judge blind to. But it is more difficult to rely on crutch to judge blind to..
The reporter understands, car occupies picket of path, road to install road surface of unreasonable, footpath rough whole or too narrow, this is a few problems that personage of eyesight physical disabilities pays close attention to most.
Establishment of gymnastical footpath form a complete set is uneven
Gymnastical footpath to person of a lot of Shanghai, become indispensable sports facilities already. Recently, the reporter walks into park, community, visit area of many fitness footpath, listen to gymnastical demand of the citizen extensively.
On the 5 kilometers footpath of annulus century park, reporter discovery, this footpath is of all kinds the label is clear, for instance footpath information label, healthy directive label, course of development marks, all be clear at a glance. Footpath still deserves to have rest the establishment such as faucet of seat, straight water.
Week aunt of 61 years old when live around tells a reporter: "I and my home old fogey eat a meal to want to come here to go everyday. Only question hopes the toilet is again bit more namely, resemble us especially age is older, often need to go up toilet. Only at present century park has a bathroom here. Only at present century park has a bathroom here..
Mr Li also comes everyday almost the fitness on this footpath, he tells a reporter, a lot of dwellers can reach pet area on footpath, this causes footpath the animal excrement and urine of two side almost everywhere is visible. "The person that comes here to walk a dog is held out all the time much, everybody latchs with cord dog, still calculate more civilized. I suggest whether install a few ash-bin and one-time bag more by footpath, convenient dweller clears animal excrement and urine clean. Convenient dweller clears animal excrement and urine clean..
The Wu Song mouth between road of Shandong of Yumi of v/arc be on the throne and Pan Gu road on footpath of Lu Binjiang greenbelt, the reporter sees, mainstay line is shipshape, deserve to have children libertinism area. This area has two mobile bathrooms, be located in the 1/3 place of gymnastical footpath respectively, the label is apparent. But insufficient place depends on: All sorts of label information are not worth footpath, without water establishment, illume of partial a section of a highway is not quite bright.
Why the dweller does not love to use gymnastical footpath
In visit, the reporter still discovers a problem: Some dwellers aux would rather, also do not wish to set foot on the gymnastical footpath beside. Is this why?
In Bao Delu inside 1200 3 springs park, about 1.2 meters wide gules fitness footpath is surrounding the artificial lake of park center. The reporter arrives alertly, in gymnastical crowd, a lot of people go gymnastical footpath without the choice, be in however aside the ran on alley or go quickly.
The person that the reporter visited a few fitness randomly. Xie Nv person says, when 3 springs park just repaired gymnastical footpath 2016, she and husband are returned often above go. But the elapse as time, step originally soft soft footpath begins sclerosis, do not show with the road on the side give too big difference. "And, footpath is too narrow, two people do not have I and old partner at all the law takes exercise side by side. " Xie Nv person says.
65 years old forest the problem that uncle also pointed out footpath is too narrow. He says, person a little more than 1, footpath appears crowded. Forest when uncle is taking exercise, to maintain a pace fast even, avoid to avoid from time to time let the person in front, he auxes would rather the choice takes exercise on footpath.
In the ancient city park around comfort garden, have an annular gymnastical footpath, what also encountered nobody are used is awkward. Ms. Zhou that lives around tells a reporter, the person that although come everyday,takes exercise is very much, but very few somebody takes exercise on this footpath, because here ground is little, annular gymnastical footpath goes two rounds giddy, be inferior to choosing the path in the park.
In addition, still a few is repair in the driveway the gymnastical footpath of two side, because of very few somebody above take exercise, exist in name only. For instance, the beach outside north east name road (Dong Changzhi road, a section of a highway of way of peace and tranquility) the gymnastical footpath of two side red, according to reporter observation, at 17 o'clock - between 19 o'clock, this a section of a highway has a pedestrian only transient, the function of gymnastical footpath did not get be developinged adequately.

Dialog
Ideal person travel footpath, it is safety, comfortable, include
Watch on: Street return to to what change life space on foot, be a kind of cosmopolitan trend?
Wang Lin (institute of professor of responsibility of academy of processing of city of China of Shanghai traffic university, design teachs) : As the development of socioeconomy, the demand of people opposite vivid character rises ceaselessly. At the beginning, people feels to have a car is a kind of sign that life quality increases, this also experienced a same process in western country. So, inside quite long period of time, urban viatic program is given priority to with car travel traffic, it is important to maintain a the unobstructed that the car goes is urban efficiency reflect.
But, such program gives a person brought a lot of inconvenience on foot. Then, people begins to think over: What kind of city space do we need after all? Western scholar advanced the idea of zoology city, to zoology environment of the city, to the environment from water, air each respects raised taller character requirement. In recent years, international waits in new York, London, Paris metropolitan, the easy that walk makes the standard that measures a city to whether have charm moderately.
2016, " guideline of Shanghai street design " release formally, the attention that offers communal to the city space should change direction to be given priority to with street life, also be the trend that complied with sex of this generation bound.
Watch on: What does the design of person travel footpath need to pay close attention to most?
Wang Lin: Street what be? Street the communal space that is a city, be a city " sitting room " . People just does not hope to cross in the street on the road, and the hope walks cozily, experience sweet life atmosphere. So, the core that person travel footpath designs is it is with the person this, come with the feeling of the person's need, person this street design has gotten judge.
For instance, be in " guideline of Shanghai street design " in, ask street crossing widens no longer. We often have such experience: In wider crossing, because green light time is insufficient long, often have not enough time to cross a street. So, in a few cities of abroad, the meeting on very wide crossing adds one individual travel island. Resemble the Oxford street of British London, the person travel footpath of designed broaden corner, the traffic lane of contractible crossing, such, the car is met when turn decelerate, and the pedestrian crosses the speed of the driveway to be accelerated.
Right internationally for the city, street the vigor that still can reflect a city. Paris has a kind of view to cry " love is encountered in corner " , they encourage the place in street corner to add set outdoors cafe, let street present a thick life atmosphere, one kind this also is urban glamour is reflected.
Watch on: You once put forward, people is right healthy global demand, ought to become the essential jumping-off place of urban space. Why can you offer this point of view?
Wang Lin: There once is in new York " healthy town " activity, alleged " healthy town " the activity lets people like to go up namely on foot. Because be in the United States, most space is given priority to all right with the car, a lot of people are depended on overly drive, lack motion, cause from this " modern city is ill " frequency hair, so they hope to pass " healthy town " activity, develop public traffic energetically on one hand, build comfortable pace line space on one hand, make people much walk, little drive.
Besides delightful person travel footpath, they still install a few stair in the communal space of urban center, the step of stair can go can sit, the space is very open, let people be willing more so stair is not to sit elevator. I think these practices of new York are worth us to draw lessons from very much. Pass the design of urban space and improvement, the liaison man that can transform people gives a means, daily habits and customs, lead a kind of more healthy way of life then.
Watch on: Besides program and design, the essence of person travel footpath refines management is one catastrophe dot, the proposal with good what do you have to this?
Wang Lin: In my understanding, change management to need systematization ground to ponder over a problem subtly, is not to have a headache foot of painful medical service of cure head, base. For instance, the park problem of the bicycle. Before a few years, we learn the way of western country, a few bicycles were installed to stop frame on footpath. But in fact you can discover, most bicycle not according to formulary park. And, on a few narrower roads, frame of setting proper motion also can affect a pedestrian to pass. So, the effect is not quite good.
From the point of the point of view that changes management subtly, above all you should understand this place to about how many bicycle needs place, undertake plan and administrative according to need again next. For instance, in the doorway of big market, be about to design a bicycle technically jockey area. And narrow place is compared in footpath, every are removed the 5 distances to 10 meters, the floor tile of bicycle design can be installed in ground upper berth, guide people to be in bicycle park formulary position, do not affect a pedestrian to walk again at the same time.
This turns management subtly namely, it is not machine-made, however each street present a diversification.
Watch on: What does the element with an ideal person travel essential footpath have?
Wang Lin: The first it is safe, safe feeling is first requirement of the person. The 2nd it is comfortable, include beautiful, convenient. The 3rd it is to include, person travel footpath is OK in a limited time of management, car of give attention to two or morethings goes and can walk even; Also can be one shares a space, it is including countless possibility.

In the meantime, still conceal in pew have gardens electric power and broadcaster, go up to want every year to hold many 350 activity because of square.
2014 spring, partial shopping mall is opened to the public. After transforming, the communal and safe state here, economic benefits and experience of the person that use get very big promotion.
