chengdu master plan by SOM – skidmore, owing & merril – transforms the site of a former steel pipe factory into a sustainable, mixed-use community in southwestern china’s sichuan province. the plan creates walkable, high-density neighborhoods along the ha river and the city’s main corridor, dong da road. multiple subway lines encourage residents and visitors to use public transit, while a public park system—including the signature tazishan park—preserves open spaces within the central city.
