Project Implementation

项目实施

1. Project Implementation Plan and Process: In 2022, THE PLACE (Hongqiao Nanfeng City) proposed the renovation plan for the East Zone of Feng Shang Garden. Through the referral of the Changning Low-Carbon Center, a partnership was formed with the School of Design at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Construction commenced in July 2023, and the project was officially launched in September.

项目实施方案与过程：2022年，虹桥南丰城提出丰尚园东区翻新需求，经长宁区低碳中心引荐，联合上海交大设计学院启动项目，2023年7月进入施工阶段，9月正式运营。

2. Design Phase: Guided by five core principles including “native planting” and “zero pesticides/chemical fertilizers,” the space was divided into three functional sections: a Habitat Conservation Area (with self-sustaining pond), a Leisure Education Area (featuring plant identification signage), and an Interactive Observation Area (equipped with an observation wall). Priority was given to reusing existing construction materials from the original plaza.

设计阶段：遵循“本土植物、零农药化肥”等五原则，划分生境保护区（配自循环水塘）、休闲科普区（设植物科普牌）、互动观察区（建观察墙）三大板块，优先复用原广场建材。

3. Construction Phase: The original 600㎡ space was optimized into a 300㎡ functional area. Existing wooden flooring was repurposed into tiered seating, former stone materials were used for pathways, and old lighting fixtures were converted into lawn lamps—drastically reducing the need for new materials.

施工阶段：将600㎡原始空间优化为300㎡实用面积，旧木地板改造阶梯坐凳、旧石材铺小径、旧灯具改草坪灯，减少新建材消耗。

4. Comparison Before and After Implementation - Functional Use: Prior to implementation (pre-2022), the site—Feng Shang Garden, built in 2014—had outdated facilities, limited functionality, and low public usage. After implementation (since September 2023), it has become Shanghai’s first commercial-district Habitat Garden, integrating ecological conservation, public education, and leisure activities.

实施前后对比 - 空间功能：实施前（2022年前）为2014年建成的丰尚园，设施老旧、功能单一且使用率低；实施后（2023年9月起）成为上海首个商圈生境花园，兼具生态保护、科普、休闲三重功能。

5. Comparison Before and After Implementation - Ecological Condition: Previously, there was no targeted ecological design, resulting in low biodiversity. Post-transformation, native plants such as Loquat and Camphor Tree were introduced, and wildlife including the Red-flanked Bluetail has been observed, establishing the site as an "ecological stepping stone" within the urban environment.

实施前后对比 - 生态状况：实施前无针对性生态设计，生物多样性匮乏；实施后种植枇杷、香樟等本土植物，观测到红胁蓝尾鸲等动物，成为衔接区域生态的“生态踏脚石”。

6. Comparison Before and After Implementation - Resource Utilization: The original site had no material recycling strategy. After renovation, over 80% of core construction materials were reused, and a chemical-free maintenance model was implemented, significantly reducing resource consumption and pollution.

实施前后对比 - 资源利用：实施前无旧材复用意识；实施后核心建材复用率超80%，且采用零农药化肥养护模式，减少资源消耗与污染排放。

7. Challenges Overcome and Support Received - Addressing Challenges: Spatial Constraints: The 600㎡ original area required balancing commercial footfall and ecological function. This was resolved through functional zoning and compact design, resulting in an efficient 300㎡ ecological space. Business Operations: Construction was scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize impact on mall operations.

克服的挑战与获得的支持 - 挑战应对：空间限制方面，600㎡原始空间需兼顾商业客流与生态功能，通过“功能分区+紧凑设计”优化为300㎡实用生态空间；商业运营干扰方面，施工选在非客流高峰时段，减少对商场营业影响。

8. Challenges Overcome and Support Received - Multi-party Support: Government: The Changning Low-Carbon Center recommended technical partners and incorporated the project into the district’s "Green Commercial Space" initiative. District government agencies provided policy guidance. Academic: Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s School of Design contributed plant selection advice and ecological pond design. Corporate: Nan Fung Group allocated funding and aligned the project with its corporate sustainability strategy “SEWIT.”

克服的挑战与获得的支持 - 多方支持：政府层面，长宁区低碳中心引荐技术团队、纳入“绿色商业空间”体系，区政府提供政策指导；高校层面，上海交大设计学院提供植物配置、生态水塘设计方案；企业内部，南丰集团投入资金，将项目纳入“可持续SEWIT”战略。

Project Impact & Sustainability

项目影响力、可推广性与可持续性

1. As Shanghai’s first commercial-district Habitat Garden, the project has garnered coverage across multiple tiers of media, including Shanghai Observer and The Paper, with annual visitor numbers exceeding 100,000. It has also helped boost the mall’s “pet economy” (through pet-friendly events) and family-oriented consumption.

作为上海首个商圈生境花园，获上观新闻、澎湃新闻等多级媒体报道，年接待超10万人次，带动商场“它经济”（如萌宠活动）与亲子消费。

2. From a technical perspective, the project achieved over 80% reuse of existing materials and features a self-sustaining pond and observation wall. Its institutional innovation lies in the “government-business-academia” collaboration model, partnering with the Changning Low-Carbon Center and the School of Design at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, thereby providing a replicable benchmark for ecological retrofits in commercial properties.

技术上，旧材复用率超80%、设自循环水塘与观察墙；机制创新采用“政企学研”模式，联合长宁区低碳中心、上海交大设计学院，为商业体生态改造提供样本。

3. Included in Changning District’s “Green Commercial Space” initiative, the design previously competed in the district’s Habitat Garden Micro-Renovation Competition. Subsequent habitat gardens, such as the one in IBP Business Park, have drawn inspiration from its “functional zoning + native planting” approach. The model offers a transferable solution for commercial, business park, and other urban settings.

项目纳入长宁区“绿色商业空间”体系，其设计方案曾参与区生境花园微更新大赛，IBP商务园区等后续生境花园借鉴其“功能分区+本土植物”思路，模式可复制至商圈、园区等场景。
