Abstract:The Laozi River is an important flood control river that runs through the main urban area of Zibo City. By analyzing the current river course and the problems existing along the section from Shangchang Road to Chaoyang Street, and from the perspective of urban regional development, a comprehensive treatment scheme is designed and proposed, which includes the river course widening, bridge reconstruction, pipeline relocation, landscape improvement and smart river course. The total length of the river reconstruction is 9.87 km. After the reconstruction, the overall goal of integrating “flood control, ecology, civilization and intelligence”is achieved for Zibo River. The overall effect of “building a river, and enhancing the quality of a city” is achieved, and the social, economic and ecological benefits are significant, providing a certain reference value for the comprehensive treatment of similar river courses.
