Jiaxing New City

In this urban design project commissioned by developer Shimao, a vision of slow pace city at the portal to high speed train route was presented. The strategy utilizes the local canal network to construct a secondary link between the portal and the city center through a highly zigzagged trajectory. This link also operates as a green belt accommodating public programs, while simultaneously acting as a green barrier that divides the vast new development into multiple urbanized pockets.
