Revising Shunde: The Different Technical Approaches to the Future of a Large Chinese City

Abstract

The paper talks about a research on a fast growing Chinese city. It reviews the international urban planning competition for the new urban area in Shunde, and compares the different technical approaches to look at the future development of a post-industrial city. To compare them with a study on the current local urban issues, and to find out the philosophies behind the morphologies, is the main purpose of the paper.
