For example, in Kangze Leisure Park, Shoukai Xiyue Plaza, Xiaoqing River and other park green spaces, 26 park green space upgrading and renovation projects will be carried out; in large-scale afforestation and greening plots such as the south side of Changyang Music Theme Park, the south side of Changyang Sports Park, and the west side of Binhe Road, ecological landscape improvement projects will be implemented, and 8 forest park transformation projects will be carried out; on the facades of the subway Fangshan Line urban rail rail bridge, river-crossing bridge, and overpass bridge along the street, 12 bridge greening projects will be implemented by adding flower boxes, planting ground covers and climbing plants, etc., targeting the bridge pier facades and the space under the bridge.

In the process of building a "garden-style university town", Fangshan District will highlight the characteristics of integration of industry, education, research and application, perfect balance between work and residence, academic home style, and vibrant and youthful urban area. It will coordinate and integrate existing linear spaces such as tree-lined roads, green trails, park roads, community group roads, and campus landscape roads, and plan to build a Liangxiang University Town Greenway and a Changyang New Town Greenway with a total length of more than 100 kilometers. It will also guide the organic weaving of district-level and community greenway systems to promote the formation of a characteristic greenway system of a "garden-style university town" and an overall greenway network in the central area of ​​Fangshan New Town.

After the completion of the characteristic greenway system of the "garden-style university town" and the overall greenway network of the central area of ​​Fangshan New Town, it will connect 5 universities, 9 subway stations, and 5 business districts, radiate to 20 important parks and green spaces along the line, and further promote the construction of a large ecological system with blue and green interweaving and city and green integration in Liangxiang University Town, and guide teachers, students, citizens, tourists and other diverse groups of people to "enter the garden, enter the green scenery, and enjoy life."

During the construction of the "garden-style university town", Fangshan District will continue to explore "diversified" garden city activities, use the "forest chief system" as an institutional guarantee, and rely on the "double registration" mechanism to continue to carry out the "a pot of flowers on the balcony, a tree in the courtyard, and a one-meter garden in the community" activities, promote the "community gardener" mechanism, create a good social atmosphere of "everyone is a gardener", and promote the co-construction, co-governance and sharing of the garden city.
