The Captivating Futuristic Green Technology Tianjin Eco City
From the minds of the Surbana Urban Planning Group, comes the 30 square kilometer development model, Tianjin Eco-City, which is to serve as a layout for future developing Chinese cities.
The stunning looking city which is expected to house 350,000 people is being built just 10 minutes away from the business parks at the Tianjin Economic-Development Area, will give occupants a choice between seven distinct sectors, ranging from a sun-powered Solarscape to a honeycomb formed Urbanscape.
Eco-City will make use of the latest sustainable technologies such as solar power, wind power, rainwater recycling, and wastewater treatment/desalination of sea water. In order to reduce the city’s carbon emissions, residents will be encouraged to use an advanced light rail system, and China has also pledged that 90 percent of traffic within the city will be public transport.
The thematic approach aims to create an affinity between residents and the ecology, fostering greater awareness in the preservation of the ecological, social and historical heritage of the site.
The city is expected to be completed by 2020.
