Project Summary
 
XinCheng is a small regional centre in the rural areas of Lai Bin County. It currently consists of an existing urban area and a newly assigned development area some kilometers away. The city has a rich cultural history and is embedded in a stunningly beautiful Caster Mountain surrounding.

The Urban Master Plan aimed at enhancing all natural resources and existing assets. By establishing a unique central area, deriving its quality from a new, contemporary momentum as much as traditional habits and routines, a new quality of life is brought into the city that will set it apart from competing regional centers and secure the community’s prosperity in the future.
This strategy is based on a variety of topics all of which are balanced in a synergetic symbiosis:
 
New City Centre as combination of CBD, Tourism and Natural Mountain Area (built to integrate urban fabric, waterways, green corridors and mountain panorama into one experience)
Rural-Urban Integration and Circular Economy (use of forest management and agricultural waste etc. as part of energy production)
Tourism Network and Public Spaces (Green Network and Circular Road connect all new and existing tourism, cultural and scenic areas, including attractive boat harbours for stunning longer excursions into the natural areas beyond the site itself)
Attractive and Healthy Residential Areas (entire community is integrated with Green Activity Network along existing waterways for sports, recreation and social activities)
Integrated Business Model and Urban Marketing (existing economy, tourism and new development as highly attractive live-and-work destination for businesses, families and professionals)
