这条横跨台中市中心的旧铁路对老城发展起到重要的催化作用，同时其历史价值对城区振兴也具有重要意义。

The 1.7km long former railway line crossing downtown Taichung was an important catalyst for the development of the old city. The railway’s historical value plays an important role in the revitalisation of the urban realm on which it sits.

虽然铁路在过去的功能是连接人们，但废弃的铁轨更像是一道屏障，它位于堤坝上，阻碍人们在铁轨两侧通行。设计以可持续的方式重新利用了铁路线，通过容纳生物多样性的绿色走廊以及根据街道需求而建的自行车/行人专用道，将城市各部分连接起来，并在线性基地内融入城市更新、公众参与、历史保护、绿色和水资源以及行人和自行车的流线等可持续规划设计要素。最终，Mecanoo事务所凭借丰富的城市规划经验，打造出一条人性化绿色走廊，活化了河岸的公共空间。

Although in the past the rail line functioned as way of connecting people, the disused railway acts more as a barrier due to its challenging location on the dyke, which impedes circulation from one side of the tracks to the other. The design reuses the rail line to connect the different parts of the city in a sustainable way by creating a green corridor for biodiversity and including bike/pedestrian lanes to better cater for the needs of the community. Within this linear site, the sustainable development covered a wide range of planning and design factors including urban regeneration, public participation, historic preservation, green and water resources, and circulation routes for pedestrians and bikes. Relying on Mecanoo’s extensive urban planning experience, the design shapes a people-oriented green corridor, complementing the Green River’s waterfront.

为了保持该地区浓厚的历史特征，并使项目具有连贯且显著的主题，新的交通系统按照铁路轨迹进行布局。道路以铁路基础设施的视觉语言为基础向外延伸，整合了现有和未来的规划功能。

To maintain the area’s strong historical character and set a coherent, recognisable theme for the project, the new circulation system layout relies on the track pattern of the junction railway. Based on the visual language of the railway infrastructure, the routes branch out to integrate the existing and future planned functions.

我们将绿色走廊定义为市中心的连续公园，它将支持该地区动植物的保护与发展，提升台中市中心行人和骑行者的交通连接，将该地区现有和新增的功能整合成连贯的线性公园。

We define the green corridor as a continuous public park in the centre of the city, which will support the conservation and development of the area’s flora and fauna, while improving the connections for pedestrians and bike users in Taichung centre. The project integrates existing and newly added functions to the area into a coherent linear park.

绿色走廊将成为一个目的地，邀请人们探索并享受高品质公园绿化。它在城市中所处的位置也使其成为休闲娱乐活动的理想场所，不仅会提升当地乃至台中市民的使用率，还会促进更加连贯的城市基础设施。

The green corridor will become a destination and invite users to explore and enjoy the green qualities of the park. Its urban location makes it an ideal place for leisure and recreational activities. The park is designed to intensify the use of the area for the local and wider Taichung community, while promoting a more coherent city infrastructure.
