Difengjiang District Urban Design

With a vision of creating a world-class tourist destination and a model area exemplifying high quality of life, the innovative development strategies emphasized on harmony between the people and nature; urban and rural; future and past; service industry and agriculture; tourism and local life; new development and conservation to create a premium city life with a strong sense of belonging.

The urban design for Difengjiang District leverages on its natural ecology and rich culture to propose an active and vibrant waterfront town.

The triangular site is surrounded by Jasmine field, culturally-rich Taoist temple, heritage trees and a 4.7km long riverfront. The design interweaves waterways and greenbelts among the buildings to create a mixed use, highly walkable town.
