Changchun North-East Asia Smart Innovative Model District

Aimed to be the prime smart innovative district in the northeast of China, Changchun North-East Smart Innovative Model District (ASIMD) will offer a conducive test-bedding and innovation ecosystem that enables businesses to thrive in a new digital economy.

To create a vibrant and inclusive district with cutting-edge technology and social innovation, we integrated a business park, a university, medical centre and community facilities into the area to encourage greater collaboration between the industry and academia. Keeping the climate of Changchun in mind, the plan provides seamless under and above ground connections between buildings as well as the transport nodes. These multi-level connections that also serves as public space are designed around a lake as the focal point, creating a vibrant waterfront development.
