CHINA BLUEPRINT

摘要

It's been more than two years since Arup's last involvement in the masterplanning of the world's first eco-city - Dongtan outside Shanghai. It was a high profile, groundbreaking concept - though not literally. Construction is yet to begin, although Arup says it hasn't given up hope. Nor has it had time to feel disappointed by the lack of action. It's been far too busy working on other sustainable cities and developments around the world, including Wanzhuang - another Chinese eco-city expected to start in the near future; a new town in Cambridgeshire, UK; and perhaps the biggest challenge, Destiny - a new city in car-loving, oil-dependent America.
