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.
