The Shanghai LOOP is a competition-winning scheme that creates over 1.5 kilometers of vibrant new elevated public pathway in the bustling Changning shopping district in Shanghai. 

The project exemplifies the Arup Associates integrated approach: complex structural issues intertwined with a delicate design solution.  The structure includes a 70 meter span sky plaza and connects two metro lines, multiple shopping centres, and the open space of Zhongshan Park. Careful people flow studies were conducted in order to develop a user-centred design that redefines the intersection as a pedestrian friendly area.

Arup Associates proposed a Zero-Carbon strategy for the Shanghai Loop focused on harnessing energy from the wind, sun, and people. The design incorporates urban scale wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, and kinetic floor tiles.

龙之翼是国际竞标的获奖项目，创造了一个长达1.5公里的空中步行系统，包含一个空中广场和一组跨度70米的桁架，贯穿上海中山公园地块最繁华的购物区。

龙之翼项目很好地诠释了Arup Associates的整体化设计方法，通过精细的设计解决了复杂的结构问题。结构系统包括了一个跨度70米的空中广场，这个系统连接了两条地铁线、多个购物中心和中山公园前广场。设计团队认真开展了实地分析和行人流量研究，从使用者的角度出发，充分考虑可达性和无障碍设计，将此核心商业区打造成一个方便行人活动的区域。

Arup Associates为龙之翼项目开发了零碳策略，充分利用风能、太阳能和人力发电，旨在成为中国第一个零碳高架平台式步行系统。项目设计中采用了风力涡轮机、光伏板和动能地砖。
