Tour In Future of Urbanism in China - Build a Livable City
Future of Urbanism in China: How Can We Build a Livable City?
As we are entering 2021 after a year of anxiety and uncertainties, what are your expectation for our future? The UN75 survey reports that most people around the world hold greater optimism for the future: “Globally, many more respondents believe people will be better off in 2045 than today (49%) compared to those who believe people will be worse off (32%).”

The designers and architects have been considering the possibilities of tomorrow and utilizing new design strategies to help countries reset their economies in the post-COVID world. This article will identify seven living trends that are creating possibilities and will discuss how the architects and designers in China are taking advantage of those possibilities for the benefit of society.

1- Living with Post-Pandemic Changes
Ronald Lu & Partners has created in collaboration with BEHAVE, a blueprint for future-ready offices that meet the new needs of the post-pandemic workforce. Their partnership has generated “Mindplace”, an office concept that will “improve work efficiency, focus on sustainability and cater to the holistic needs of employees”.

2- Living with Modular Cities
Lego China has teamed up with CAA Architects to create a vision for a modular city in space. Designed by Liu Haowi, the city is made with a spacecraft topped by a larger urban center, surrounded by an artificial gravitational field controlled by AI. The project is called "Crystal Space City", for its comprehensive design made of a modular system generated from the combination of a city, oasis, and an energy power system

3- Living with Nano-Scale
Hong Kong, as one of the most extreme cases in compact living units, resulting from high residential densities and increased urban land values, has always been looking for solutions for livable tiny homes.
The architect Gary Chang, founder of the Hong Kong-based Edge Design Institute, revealed his vision of compact living, small-scale architecture, flexibility, and the future of our cities.
“With each domestic function defined mainly by its vertical enclosure (i.e. a wall which is conventionally fixed), I came up with a system of moving walls that enabled me to transform the space easily, playing hide-and-seek with the various programs. I do not believe a home is defined by the various rooms one has, it is more about the various activities you perform, from brushing your teeth to watching a movie, from taking a bath to reading near the window.”

4- Living with Fusion of Technology and Nature
MVRDV has revealed the first images of Chengdu Sky Valley, the firm’s competition entry for the Future Science and Technology City in Southwest China. The proposal attempts to combine technology with nature, urban with rural, and modernity with tradition, and introduces “a liveable city into the Linpan Landscape”.

5- Living with Artificial Intelligence
BIG has unveiled its design for AI CITY, the future home for Terminus Group, a smart service provider. Imagined as the new center of innovation for China, the project will be dedicated to "artificial intelligence, robotics, networking, and big data”. Located in Chongqing, in southwest China, known as the “mountain city”, the project is set within the Chongqing Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone..

6- Living with Digitally Fabricated Villages
The Chinese Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, themed "Building a Future Countryside", explores new technology and ideas to create better Chinese rural areas. A digitally-fabricated outdoor pavilion "Cloud Village" has been set up in addition to the national exhibition at the Venetian Arsenale.

7- Living with Transit-Oriented Development
Ronald Lu & Partners, the leading TOD expert with over 60 TOD projects across China, is currently developing flagship Shunde ICC Country Garden Sanlonghui. Showcasing an upgraded TOD4.0 design concept, the mixed-use project generates “a harmonious relationship between people and the environment”.
