Project Summary
 
As compared with previous plan, the current scheme offers 100,000sqm more protected nature area and a 30,000sqm larger lake, considering the existing nature (water and mountains) the main resource of the site for the city. This also includes linking and connecting all ecologically relevant areas so that there are no “breaks” in the eco-system and sustainable strategies can be easily applied in later urban / landscape design.
