The concept of a sustainable development among industry, business and residential, convinced the jury and SBA was awarded with the first prize. SBA’s “Clean City Concept” includes a reduction of CO2 emissions, environmental green areas and office buildings which comply with the latest standards of a “Green Building”. An elaborate guide book (Clean City Guideline), helps the client to achieve a sustainable development during the different construction phases.

The industrial area to the north is separated by a natural forest which naturally filters contaminated air from the north. Designed green corridors link the buildings with the natural wetland in the south. A structured traffic concept allows a balanced condition between a car-friendly and car-free city.

The “International Automobile City” integrates the existing BMW plant (Tiexi factory) in the local landscape. A new car holding- and display facility provides the new car models for pick up. New cars can be tested on the speedway- and off-road track nearby, which is surrounded by a theme park.

Theme islands in the canal offer a representative position, e.g. the governmental building. The area is comprised by residential areas, isolated from heavy traffic and are orientated to the green areas of the winding river (Xi River).Each quarter receives its own community center which ensures the human scale. The third city complex, dedicated to the University, is used for R&D and residential.  Image Courtesy © SBA International  Image Courtesy © SBA International  Image Courtesy © SBA International
