Overview

The re-envisioned industrial waterfront serves as a catalyst for economic growth and connectivity within the urban core. The once rigid shoreline is being reshaped into five distinct districts which transition from high-energy zones to calming natural parks for a welcoming destination. Aligned with China’s refreshed approach to development, phased improvements ensure a balance of public expenditures with public-private redevelopment for long-term environmental and financial sustainability.

 Design of the mixed-use city supports an array of authentic experiences along piers, docks and an active promenade while a new cruise port provides tourism access. Dotted throughout the site, educational installations immerse visitors in the rich history and character of the area while all districts support an environmentally-friendly, people-oriented waterfront city.

Having completed an in-depth analysis, EDSA crafted a master plan framework that spans the five districts and surrounding 700-hectares with consideration for street layouts, public space delineation, park design, environmental amenities and multi-modal transportation. The final land use plan serves as a blueprint for ongoing development that nurtures healthy living by promoting smart growth design through ecological and sustainable infrastructural systems.
