About Nanxi National Park Stedelijke Planning

Nanxi National Park is een stedenbouwkundig en landschapsproject in Wenzhou, China. Het gebied verbindt oude stadjes, valleilandschappen en het dagelijks leven langs de Nanxi-rivier, en staat op de voorlopige lijst van gemengd cultureel en natuurlijk werelderfgoed. Het plan beschermt en herstelt het landschap en de wisselwerking tussen de lokale bevolking en de natuur. De bebouwingsdichtheid werd gestuurd door middel van simulatie van ecologische, hydrologische en geologische omstandigheden. Een muziekevenementenpark tussen stad en rivier brengt moderne activiteit naar deze traditionele ruimte.
