Description
This paper discusses the changing role of Chongqing's characteristic means of transport - the river-crossing ropeway, discusses the city's changing positioning of infrastructure under a specific historical background in the development process, and thus considers the feasibility of sustainable development transportation plans.
Chongqing, as a megacity in China, is surrounded by the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. In the 1980s, in order to facilitate the travel of residents on both sides of the rivers, Chongqing successively built the Yangtze River Ropeway and the Jialing River Ropeway. Currently, the Yangtze River Ropeway is one of Chongqing’s tourist attractions and a must-visit attraction for many tourists, while the Jialing River Ropeway was demolished after losing passengers as many cross-river bridges were completed. By comparing the different endings of the river-crossing ropeways, this paper discusses the methods of updating special transportation facilities after completing their original missions. At the same time, through improvements in aesthetics, historical and cultural promotion, and equipment updates, the cableway is closely related to Chongqing's history and history. The urban landscape is better integrated, giving the facility public significance.
