Image © Woods Bagot and Michael Reardon The Langfang Eco-Smart City Master Plan was recently honored with the only 2010 Merit Award for Urban Design by the AIA Hong Kong chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The urban plan for Langfang was noted as a transformative model of ecological urban redevelopment that calls attention to the role of existing cities while forging a more sustainable future.
Langfang grew as an agricultural hub with a population of 50,000 to a mid-20th century city of 800,000 and is located between Beijing and the Tianjin mega-region. A collaboration between HOK and Woods Bagot’s San Francisco studio, the ‘Eco-Smart City Master Plan for Langfang’ proposes to intensify existing development patterns, preserve the surrounding agricultural land, and integrate ecological systems restoring and enriching the natural habitat. . + AIA Hong Kong + Woods Bagot Lead image © Michael ReardonPermission to use all images must be requested directly from the architects.
