jintang hybridized
DESCRIPTION
Completed an urban design plan for the city of Jintang, China. When determining the layout of the “new town,” the urban plan was used to accommodate 150,000 residents, along with additional space for infrastructure, office and commercial development, and civic programming. Areas of higher and lower density have the ability to give a city a much more dynamic atmosphere to spur active programming within the city. The urban design intention was to create an elevated roadway for street cars that ran above a pedestrian greenway. This drove the overall layout for the city's development scheme.TRANSCRIPT
