Urban Ecological Studies in Shanghai Urban green systems planning Three forest networks: Riparian forest network; Roadside forest network; Agricultural shelterbelt network; One Region: Water reserve forest in the watershed of upper reaches of Huangpu River Multi-cores of green: Large forest parks in suburbs; Parks in central urban areas The total coverage reaches 35% ReferentIn und Datum 12
Shanghai Greening Master Plan Two green ring belts, countryside and urbanized areas, combination of afforestation, nurseries, tourism and theme parks, Eight greenlands around the inner city at strategic locations to bring fresh air into the urbanized areas from the countryside. Green corridors along roads, railways and rivers. More open spaces for people not less than 3,000m 2 to be provided within 500m distance from everyone s door. Biodiversity afforestation at nonurbanized areas, conservation of wetland and water catchments to create a biodiversity ecosystem. ReferentIn und Datum 13
Greening Master Plan Target 2020: The green area per capita in downtown and urbanized areas will be increased to 6.5m 2 and 10m 2. The number of planting species for greening will be increased to around 1,000. ReferentIn und Datum 14

Shanghai Greening Master Plan - green corridors along roads (i.e. 100m wide green belt along expressways, 50m for major roads and 25m for secondary roads). Road Side Green to reduce noise (according to their research, 10m width can reduce 1dB-2dB) ecological and psychological effect. * Ground modelling and water feature could eliminate the vibration effect to nearby Dwellers Reduction of speed of airflow, to help to control the spread of suspended particulate matters.

The function of nature conservation in the city is maintenance of species and biocenosis as a basis for direct contact of the citizens with the natural elements of their environment (Sukopp & Weiler 1986, p. 25).
