Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper will conduct a case study of slow lane system of Guangzhou International Biological Island (GIBI) greenway network in three main phases: (1) describe building standard of slow system in Construction Guidelines of Regional Greenways in Guangdong Province; (2) analyze GIBI Greenway comprehensive plan and investigate the site to illustrate slow lane design; and (3) provide concrete improvement measure and suggestion to slow lane system. We concluded by discussing solutions of these problems, and suggested some proposals in design to meet the visitors’ requirement for the future construction of greenway. The GIBI Greenway has served as a model for riparian greenways elsewhere in Guangzhou. This research hopes to guide slow lane system’s programs and development standards to make bicycling in Guangzhou more safe, comfortable, convenient and enjoyable for all bicyclists.
