OBERMEYER consortium was shortlisted for the Hefei Binhu Science City
Background
The project aims to comprehensively support the province to build a science and technology innovation curb with significant influence and facilitate Hefei's eastward expansion and its integration into the Yangtze River Delta region. It seeks to develop a world-class, international, technology-oriented, and ecologically sustainable planning scheme. With a perspective that encompasses Anhui Province and beyond, the project will scientifically outline the development vision for the next 10 and 25 years. It will also refine the significant tasks for short-term, medium-term, and long-term development, thereby guiding the high-standard construction and high-quality growth of the Chaohu Peninsula area.
?
The plan will encompass a regional strategic study and planning for approximately 700 square kilometers of the Chaohu Peninsula and an additional 2,650 square kilometers surrounding Chaohu Lake. Within the peninsula, four clusters, totaling about 60 square kilometers, will be selected for urban design in the core area. The approach will involve drawing on advanced international urban design concepts to systematically address various aspects, including?development positioning, regional structure, functional layout, ecological environment, public space, urban landscape, key public facilities, architectural form, development intensity, transportation systems, and underground space.?This comprehensive strategy aims to achieve an integrated urban spatial design for the core area and to establish design control guidelines.
