Xujiahui Park

Located in the heart of the European concession of the city, this park of more than 70,000 square metres is part of a major urban renewal project undertaken in the year 2000. The general vision for this park emerged from the importance of preserving the most striking feature of Shanghai’s industrial era: the tall and impressive factory chimney. This architectural feature serves as a beacon in the park, recalling the contributions of past generations. The park’s design remains contemporary and international with traces of the city’s past.
