WanZhuang



Images by Arup
Arup was designing Dongtan, a well-publicised eco-city development in Shanghai, that suffered from realpolotiks. But apparently lessons learnt from Dongtan have been refined and reused for a proposal in WanZhuang.
Peter Head, from Arup (engineers of the world's most exciting projects), discusses the change in attitudes since Dongtan a RIBAJournal article "There is a much greater awareness of the importance of density and the need for integrated planning. People didn't really think of energy/water/transport as being key to urban planning"(RIBA August September 09)
