| Summary: | For more than fifty years, Sjanghaipark has been a green refuge among the modern templates of the Overvecht district of Utrecht. Together, local residents and artists formulated an unusual principle: The identity of this park would not be a fixed one, but would constantly be reshaped. By children playing, the elderly ambling, the wind carrying in plants, by time, in other words. In this way, Sjanghaipark was a placemaking project avant la lettre and the park was climate friendly before this became a matter of public policy. 'Sjanghaipark. Experimentally rooted in the everyday' sheds light on the diverse aspects of the park, art-historical, ecological, philosophical and makes clear its extraordinary significance. |
