Extra credit: Use Google Maps to find public Spaces_WUYI Square park - GENG JIAYI and CHENXINYI

 



We chose a large park in the Wuyi Square business district of Changsha, China. This is a park that is square in physical space. The main function is to serve this huge business circle.I think the good aspect of this public space design is the geographical location. Wuyi Square is located in the central area of the city with convenient transportation. The dense layout of six subway stops makes the square easy to reach and convenient for citizens and tourists. Second is the spatial planning, the park covers a large area, providing enough space for people to relax and gather. It is designed with wide walking paths and open lawns so that people can walk freely. The park has a large number of green plants and landscape decorations, including flower beds, trees, and fountains, to increase the beauty and amenities of the square. These green elements not only provide visual enjoyment but also help to improve air quality and provide a comfortable environment for people. Around the square, there are leisure facilities, such as benches, outdoor cafes for people to rest and communicate, and amusement facilities for children to play. In addition, the park often hosts a variety of cultural events, musical performances, and celebrations, providing a rich variety of recreational and social opportunities for the citizens.


We think the bad aspects of the park design in Wuyi Square are sunshine and shade. The open nature of the park at Wuyi Square and the lack of shaded areas allow for summer sun exposure, and the lack of shade limits the amount of time people can spend in hot weather. There is also noise and traffic, because of the heavy traffic around the square, noise pollution can interfere with people's leisure experience. Further traffic management and noise abatement measures may help improve the park's environment. In addition, there is a high degree of commercialization around the park, and the excessive appearance of commercial facilities such as gift shops may destroy the tranquility and overall environment of the public space. 

Overall, we think the park in Wuyi Square is a good public space.
