China, like several other countries, is exploring the creation of
sustainable urban areas, or “ecocities” as they are known. Around the
world, ecocities are beginning to emerge from the drawing board, from Masdar City in Abu Dhabi to PlanIT Valley in Portugal. Aimed at being the world’s largest of its type, Tianjin Eco-city
is a collaborative project between the Chinese and Singaporean
government that will house 350,000 people in a low-carbon, green
environment around half the size of Manhattan by 2020. All going well,
the team hope its model for building a sustainable city will provide the
blueprint for future urbanization efforts in China, and other
countries.
