Enhancing existing diversity

Sungang Urban Design Guidelines

Location: Shenzhen, China
Client:
 Urban Renewal Bureau of Luohu District

Programme:
Urban Design Guidelines for 500 ha former logistics area

Urban environments are never just buildings or just open space. What makes a really great piece of city is the interaction between the two. Interaction almost necessarily requires listening to each other’s goals, ideas and concepts and responding appropriately. It is therefore almost a prerequisite to achieving an outstanding result, to be flexible, committed to quality and open for coordination.

To guide the regeneration of Sungang Qingshuihe, a former logistics district in the heart of Shenzhen, the team proposed a public realm masterplan based on three principles which will bring places and buildings together to create a high quality urban environment.

  1. New development should be controlled by urban design guidelines
  2. Transformation initiatives should be set up for areas where transformation is not taking place so far, and
  3. A coordination process should be started where all proposed developments are reviewed and coordinated regularly..
