Planning of Slow Traffic System Combining Greenway from Bottom-Up Perspective: A Case Study of Ersha Island (Guangzhou)

Abstract:

Under the situation of rapid development of urban vehicles, worsening traffic congestion and the energy shortage, slow traffic system reflects concept of sustainable development of people-oriented and green environmental protection which is attracting more and more attention and recognition from the citizens. The efficient slow traffic system can not only save energy and alleviate the urban traffic congestion, but also improve the comfort and security of the citizens and guide them to form a new concept of green travel. In recent years, Guangzhou has set up the slow traffic system which based on the development of the Asian Games’ greenway, but on the detail design and user’s experience is questionable. This article will be based on the analysis and summary of the existing domestic and foreign slow system development model and the actual case studies. Then draw lessons from the experience, study the case of Ersha Island and combine with existing design of the greenway in Guangzhou. Use the bottom-up perspective to explore the slow traffic system design in central city of Guangzhou. In the future development, we should optimize for the detailed design in slow traffic system construction as well as the relevant planning and policy, and finally to promote the development of slow traffic system.
