世博會(huì)英國館設(shè)"奧運(yùn)角" 倫敦2012年奧運(yùn)會(huì)雛形將首現(xiàn)上海

倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)強(qiáng)調(diào)綠色和可持續(xù)發(fā)展，由此規(guī)劃了大面積的綠色區(qū)域并計(jì)劃將奧運(yùn)公園發(fā)展成英國未來100多年里面積最大的城市公園。奧運(yùn)會(huì)結(jié)束之后，這個(gè)面積達(dá)2.5平方公里的奧運(yùn)公園將被命名為奧運(yùn)遺產(chǎn)公園，供市民休憩、娛樂和運(yùn)動(dòng)。而將于上海世博會(huì)期間亮相英國館的“奧運(yùn)角”，則將展示去掉鋼筋水泥建筑、只保留綠色植物的奧運(yùn)公園的地圖。

負(fù)責(zé)倫敦奧運(yùn)籌建的奧運(yùn)交付管理局首席執(zhí)行官David Higgins這樣解釋奧運(yùn)公園的規(guī)劃理念，“我們把原先的工業(yè)用地清理好，種上許多植物，為2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)創(chuàng)造大片的綠色背景。這一區(qū)域?qū)⒊蔀橛谖磥硪粋€(gè)世紀(jì)里最大的城市公園。受維多利亞時(shí)代公園設(shè)計(jì)的啟發(fā)，這里的草地、花園、樹林和河流將為倫敦東區(qū)的人們和野生生物提供絕佳的生存或休憩的環(huán)境?！?

世界上第一個(gè)城市公園出現(xiàn)在1843年的英國利物浦，倫敦的維多利亞公園也于不久后建成。現(xiàn)在倫敦的城市綠化率高達(dá)40%，成為同等規(guī)模城市中最“綠色”的城市之一。上海世博會(huì)英國館的設(shè)計(jì)就是一個(gè)沒有屋頂?shù)拈_放式城市公園，源于英國城市規(guī)劃的傳統(tǒng)理念。

United Kingdom's Expo 2010 pavilion will offer a preview of the 2012 London Olympics by incorporating an "Olympic Corner" in its display.

The area will feature a large "green map" of the 2.5-square-kilometer Olympic Park in Stratford in East London, which will be turned into the largest city park in Britain.

The park will be developed into a complex incorporating entertainment and sports after the event as an important legacy of the London Olympics. The park will provide people and wildlife a perfect habitat with its grasslands, gardens, forests and rivers, said David Higgins, Chief Executive of the London Olympics Delivery Authority.

Meanwhile, sports buffs can also meet several UK sports stars at the corner. Their names are yet to be revealed.

Green coverage of London has reached 40 percent, making it one of the greenest cities of its size in the world.

The 6,000-square-meter UK Pavilion is a cube-like structure, known as the "Seed Cathedral," with the area around designed to look like wrapping paper.

The "paper" area is as large as a standard football pitch and will be a public area for performances.
