About
Of this land, 65.8 hectares are green space, 30.89 hectares water and 125 hectares roads; 289 hectares can be developed, 60 hectares are already built, and other development plots cover 204 hectares.
The plan follows the sponge-city idea: green spaces inside and between the plots collect rainwater and give residents a better quality of life.
A central green belt links the new development to the old town. A city park runs through the new neighbourhood, with space for outdoor activities, shared services and sports facilities.
The total construction area of the program is 5.73 million square meters.
Sustainability
The plan follows the sponge-city principle: green spaces inside and between the plots collect rainwater and give each neighbourhood a park. It received a 2019 award for the best environmental new neighbourhood in Shanghai.
