With the aim of becoming a more distinctive, livable and eminent urban landmark, Zhenxin subdistrict of Jiading plans to remake the areas along the Suzhou River, which flows through Jiading, in 2023.
Currently, 22.5 hectares of land have been cleared and two major urban renewal projects are under construction at full throttle.
Urban renewal projects play an important role in enhancing Jiading's core competitiveness. The two projects are expected to not only incorporate high-tech industry into the construction of parks, but improve people's sense of gain and happiness.
The thrilling result can be anticipated by checking out the footpath along the Suzhou River in Jiading. Since the opening of the footpath in May 2021, it has become an essential part of local life for many residents. One elderly man, who lives nearby, said he strolls the path with his wife every sunny day.
Surrounded by a total green space of 1,783 square meters, the footpath, now covered with asphalt, was once graveled. To meet the demands of night runners, lights are set up along it.
