Exploring the "Ideal Coordinates" of Park Cities - The First Reclaimed Water Plant in Tianfu New Area and the Ecological Water Environment Project of Chengdu Science City

The Daily Mail of the UK once reported: "There are many good parks around the world, such as Central Park in New York, Luxembourg Park in Paris, France, etc. However, the Chinese city of Chengdu, with a population of over 21 million, has a stunning plan that has amazed the world. This plan is not to build parks in the city, but to make the city right inside the park."

In Chengdu, from Huanhua Creek to People's Park, from Xinglong Lake to the First Reclaimed Water Plant in Tianfu New Area, and then to the Ecological Water Environment Project in Chengdu Science City, the existence of the park is not only a microcosm of life in this leisure city, but also a witness to its century long cultural development and a new expression of the ecological value transformation of the park city.

Hiding the Secret of Parallel Worlds

The first reclaimed water plant in Tianfu New Area adopts the concept of "environmentally friendly, land intensive, and resource utilization" for the construction of a sunken reclaimed water plant, with an underground layout of the reclaimed water plant area and a landscape water park on the ground. The land area is only one-third of the traditional surface sewage plant, and the green space area accounts for 70%. Biotechnology is used to degrade and decompose pollutants, and the treated effluent water quality meets the Class IV standard for surface water, achieving zero emissions of odor and noise, effectively solving the problem of "avoiding neighbors".

With advanced construction concepts and excellent operational capabilities, the project has won multiple honors, including the "Top Ten" Environmental Protection Facility Open Units in China, the "13th Five Year Plan" National Water Special Achievement Transformation Demonstration Base, the first batch of "Key Units for Foreign Affairs Visits" in Sichuan Province, the "Ecological Civilization and 'Two Mountains Theory' Party Building Education Base" in Tianfu New Area, the "Water Education Base" in Chengdu, and the "Social Practice Base for Environmental Education in Primary and Secondary Schools".

A bridge that integrates "human and nature"

The First Reclaimed Water Plant in Tianfu New Area adheres to the concept of ecological civilization and integrates sewage treatment, natural landscape, science education, fitness and leisure, comprehensive office, underground parking, and other organic elements through above ground and underground planning, forming a water ecological complex.

Wastewater treatment brings more clean water sources to citizens, natural landscapes provide more beautiful green spaces for citizens, science museums add more water knowledge to citizens, and office buildings, underground garages, fitness and children's play facilities enrich citizens with more colorful lifestyles.

At the same time, the aquatic ecological complex has become an "ecological bridge", attracting various wild animals such as egrets and turtledoves to inhabit here, allowing people to breathe and share a common destiny with nature, share weal and woe, and achieve mutual success.

Writing about the Adventures of "Peach Blossom Spring"

The two sides of the river are lush

The Chengdu Science City Ecological Water Environment Project reconstructed the water ecology of 396000 square meters of water and 512000 square meters of landscape in the Luxi River. After the restoration was completed, it changed the previous scene of the water turning black and smelly, and the surrounding area of the river being deserted and rarely visited by humans. The proportion of blue-green space has reached 70.1%, and the water quality index has reached Class III, attracting more than 150 species of animals and plants to inhabit here, becoming their "paradise".

The banks of the Luxi River are full of vitality

With wind the spring rain sneaks in night. Silently, it moistens everything. Return the city to nature, and also bring nature to the city. The greenway, fitness facilities, tennis, basketball and other sports venues along the riverbank have achieved true harmony between humans and nature.

Boating on the Luxi River is like a "Wuling person" suddenly encountering the Peach Blossom Spring and seeing the flowing picture of "at dawn, looking at the red and wet places, the flowers are heavy in the Jinguan City".

Experience the Leisure of the "Smart Brain"

Technological development is driving human progress. The Chengdu Science City Ecological Water Environment Project fully utilizes "smart Internet of Things" technology to achieve full WiFi coverage of landscape greenways on both sides of the river. Online VR interaction, offline smart navigation, intelligent charging seats, and other facilities provide convenient and easy access to the leisure life of citizens.

The river water environment monitoring network promotes "governance" with "intelligence", monitors and warns water quality in real-time online, intelligently and dynamically adjusts the operation of various gates and weirs, and always serves as a water quality guard.

Positioning the coordinates of "ideal life"

The contemporary picture of the harmonious integration of Chengdu's landscape, people, and urban environment is slowly unfolding, from the first mention of land in park cities to the demonstration areas in park cities. From ecology to business formats, the siphon effect of the first recycled water plant in Tianfu New Area and the ecological water environment engineering project in Chengdu Science City has gradually become prominent, becoming an ideal coordinate that enterprises and residents flock to.

The Tianfu New Area Ronggang Creative Park, New Economic Industrial Park, Chengdu Supercomputing Center, Chengdu Science and Technology Innovation Ecological Island, Satellite Navigation and System Integration Industrial Park, West China Hospital Tianfu Campus and other projects gather in the surrounding area, with dozens of residential areas adjacent to the projects, integrating industry and human settlement.

The encounter between sewage treatment and urban parks creates an ideal life of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, which is three-dimensional here.
