April. 10 | Walking Tour: Xuhui Runway Park by Sasaki
Join the American Institute of Architects for an exciting tour of the Xuhui Runway Park by Sasaki next Monday, April 10th. Located in Xuhui Riverfront Area, Xuhui Runway Park is an innovative urban revitalization project that converts a former airport runway into a model for a sustainable urban park by preserving pieces of the site's past. The site was a runway for Longhua Airport, which operated for over 80 years and was Shanghai’s only civilian airport until 1949. The design scheme aimed to mimics the motion of a runway, creating diverse linear spaces for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians by organizing the park and the street into one integrated runway system, offering a space of recreation for nearby communities and providing a space for recreation and respite from the surrounding city.
