　　TIANJIN, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Tianjin, a major city in northern China, has in recent years revitalized small urban spaces by building over 300 pocket parks, strategically scattered across residential areas, streets, and commercial districts. These green oases are helping shape a livable urban ecosystem where residents enjoy "green views from windows and easy park access."
