According to the plan, there will be a city park located every 2 kilometers along the 98-km outer ring road, and each of the five New Cities will have at least one park larger than 100 hectares.

Zhu Xinjun, chief engineer of the bureau, said that a continuous, uninterrupted biking and jogging lane along with the outer ring road will commence construction by the end of this year. This lane is expected to be completed by 2025.

Wang Xiangyang, deputy governor of Minhang district, said the construction of parks in the district will be integrated with other development projects such as office buildings and industrial parks.
