According to foreign media reports, a group of park planners in New York City, the United States, are preparing to establish the world's first underground park. On October 18, they took a step toward the dream and set up an underground park laboratory to exhibit the plants that will be planted in the underground park and the solar energy technology used.
According to reports, the underground park named "Lowline" is behind the scenes to promote the use of social creative methods of technology Balashisch, and former NASA engineers Ramsay.
The couple discovered a 1.5-acre (about 0.6-hectare) abandoned underground tram terminal at Lower East Side in Manhattan a few years ago and decided to follow the concept of the Manhattan Highline High-altitude Park and convert the abandoned terminal into an underground park. Highline Park transforms abandoned elevated railways into parks.
Underground laboratory presentation concept
It is expected that the Lowline Park will not be completed until 2020 at the earliest. Before that, the public could go to the Lowline laboratory opened the day before to learn about the concept of the entire underground park. The exhibition covers an area of ​​about 1200 square feet, which is only 5% of the proposed underground park. The laboratory exhibited 60 varieties of plants, including yellow pears, strawberry bushes, herbs, exotic Amazon ferns and various flowers.
The biggest problem in setting up an underground park is how to make the plants get enough sunlight to continue growing. The exhibition showcases the advanced solar energy technologies that the authorities used to grow plants at the underground tram stations in the past few years. This technology collects sunlight on the ground, then lets the sun penetrate the ground below 20 feet and shines through the underground park.
"Underground sunlight" zero UV
According to reports, solar energy transmitted to the ground will not transmit ultraviolet light, so visitors to underground parks do not have to worry about being burned. This light is enough to promote photosynthesis and make plants grow.
Lowline Laboratories is not just an exhibition; it is also the venue where the authorities conduct experiments. In the coming months, the Lowline team will pay attention to the growth of the plants. According to this review, solar energy technology should be adjusted so that it can be used in underground parks.
It is understood that the funds for the construction of underground parks are estimated at 70 million U.S. dollars, except for a small portion that is sponsored by the government, and most of them are funded by private individuals. The preparatory party of the park has so far raised more than US$1 million in funding for the research and design of the underground park.
