With the rapid urbanization process around the world, especially in China, the new town planning seems like a wise choice to handle the urgent demands from increasing urban population and economic growth. But China stepped into an incredible new towns growth, the massive and rapid development of new town result in hundreds of empty and ghost towns.
As the developing pace of the new town plan the situation will be worse and worse. I have study 8 most famous empty town and chose Chenggong as the designing site. The government was played a great expectation on Chenggong new town. However looking at the facts of the empty town Chenggong, even though it has already been built for 11 years, there is still less people. The condition is still serious and it is impossible to have a great plan without caring about the people already living in the site. We have to strengthen communities and ensure a safer, stronger and smarter development. Therefore, creating a green way comes to the core strategy of the design.
The main idea is to shift the focus from constructing the entirely new to the local residents and existing environment. The design looks at creating an integrated green network for the whole town making it as a new green infrastructure to achieve the multifunction. Diverse design elements has been used response to the 4 kinds of typical sites. All of those aim to form a good community and improve the living environment.
The detail design sites is a sequence of “centre park”, “civic plaza”, “farm market”, “river front park” just like a chain from urban to rural. Meanwhile retrofit the edge of the channel into a more natural friendly area. The goal is to shift the focus from entire new to the existing community. Through developing the growing green way to form a good community. / published_or_final_version / Architecture / Master / Master of Landscape Architecture
