Taopu Smart City

桃浦智慧城

This competition-winning urban design for a research and development community represents a new step for Chinese urbanism: creating incrementally constructed iconic civic space.

Located on the western edge of Shanghai, Taopu Smart City is part of a new district being planned around one of Shanghai’s largest future parks.

The design actively engages its context, creating strong visual, pedestrian and infrastructure connections with the surrounding site, district and city.

A unifying architectural language was established to create individual iconic moments and a cohesive urban garden identity for the development as a whole.

The development’s first block is an iconic cluster of three towers at the south end of the district’s central park.
