SHENZHEN, CHINA
Field Operations was commissioned to develop the master plan for a vibrant new city on 4,500 acres of reclaimed land—a city that is dense, compact, mixed, sustainable, and centered around the water. Five distinct development sub-districts are defined by “water fingers” which function as innovative water quality infrastructures and parkland. The urban fabric within each development sub-district creates a range of interconnected urban neighborhoods. The result is a hyper-dense, ecologically sensitive urban territory with an iconic waterfront, diverse building stock, cultural and recreational features, and unique, interconnected public open spaces.
