From gleaming skyscrapers to eco-cities, China is leading the way in exciting urban design.
Our clients in China have a vision of the future, one that unites the unique character of the country’s historic cities with the latest thinking in urban planning. Halcrow’s expertise is helping to shape this new China, creating sustainable, liveable communities for future generations.
Among our many inspirational projects are:
- urban design for Luogang central area, Guangzhou
- planning for Pukou central area, Nanjing
- architectural design for Chengdu Qingyang industry development zone
Halcrow provides inspiring solutions to the myriad challenges and opportunities China faces as a result of the huge migration of people from rural areas. From new towns to reinvigorated central business districts, we are creating transit-orientated communities with affordable housing and beautiful green spaces.
Each project aims to retain a distinctly local flavour by responding to the unique opportunities offered by its site. In inner-city areas, we are using our global expertise in urban regeneration to revitalise communities and build dynamic commercial hubs.
We are also meeting the appetite for exciting domestic design among China’s rapidly expanding class of homeowners. Our projects at British Town in Chengdu Qingyang and the Riverbank Rhine development in Yibin City are family-orientated developments with an innovative take on vernacular European styles. In both settlements we used pioneering approaches to spatial development, new to the Chinese housing market, to create distinctive living environments.dable housing and beautiful green spaces.
