On September 22, 2023, the Huangpu Exhibition Area of the Shanghai Urban Space Art Season kicked off at the Bund Source by the Suzhou River. The exciting display and series of activities will continue until the end of November. The Huangpu Exhibition Area of the Art Season focuses on the theme of "Ten Thousand Lanterns: Sustainability in an Ordinary World". Through low-carbon lifestyle demonstration sample exhibition areas, art installations, exhibitions, and activities, it promotes environmental protection concepts and calls on citizens to pay attention to sustainable lifestyles, making Shanghai a low-carbon, green, and sustainable "city without waste" and a resilient ecological city.

On site, an environmentally friendly lifestyle show was created by the School of Design and Creativity at Tongji University, Shanghai Tongji Huangpu Design and Creativity High School, Huoshixing Fashion, and fashion design enthusiasts and primary and secondary school students from universities in the Yangtze River Delta, presenting a new trend of urban environmental protection. The exhibits of the Environmental Life Show originated from the Old Clothes Fashion Workshop, where teachers and students cleverly utilized waste clothing, recycled materials, and accessories, meticulously designed and handcrafted. Each piece of discarded clothing and fabric was turned into treasure, becoming a creative wearable fashion. At the opening ceremony, students wore these handmade old clothes and carried out a wonderful runway show and effect display.

The exhibition area also hosted the "Growing Green" sustainable creative design exhibition, which uses decayed wood, coffee grounds, old clothing, and waste paper as materials and design inspiration. Through the use of organic and recyclable materials to achieve biodegradation, "sustainable utilization", and "organic prosperity", it outlines an interconnected and growing planetary system, expressing the relationship between design and humanity, nature, current life, and sustainable future. In addition, there are also low-carbon regeneration demonstration art exhibitions and "zero waste city" theme demonstration exhibitions, which showcase intelligent, professional, interesting, and highly informative "zero waste knowledge", vividly demonstrating the practical application of zero waste technology, exploring its technological power and future prospects.

Another landmark art installation, "Ten Thousand Family Lamps · Inheritance", is in the form of Huangpu intangible cultural heritage Shanghai style knitting technology, and is made of recycled steel. It presents a burgeoning magnolia lamp. The design incorporates the water pattern element of "one river, one river" and the structural characteristics of Garden Bridge of Shanghai, showing the unique culture and urban landscape of Shanghai. Zhong Lv, the chief curator of the art season, said, "Thousands of families have lit up their lamps, illuminating every corner of the world. We call for beauty through action, continue life through environmental protection, and make our community a home full of light and hope."

The Huangpu exhibition area will also showcase a series of "City Treasure Boxes" - low-carbon living demonstration sample exhibition areas, including the Zero Distance Home of Shanbei Community, Pocket Garden along Henan Road, Journey to Xilingjiazhai Road Cultural Block, Shanghai World Expo City Best Practice Area, etc. Each area showcases different low-carbon lifestyles and innovative practices, allowing citizens to experience the charm of sustainable life firsthand and create beautiful habitats together with nature.

"Thank you so much! I was really anxious and came to give it a try. Unexpectedly, you really helped me handle it!" The person who said this was Ms. He, a citizen who went to the reporting window of the Jinshan District Medical Insurance Center to seek help. It is understood that in May this year, Ms. He was eager to transfer her personal medical insurance to other provinces and cities.
