A large-scale project is planned by Tencent, the largest telecommunications company in China. In the suburbs of Shenzhen, the city of the future will be built according to the principles of "green architecture". There will not be a single car in it, because the main focus will be on the environmental friendliness of the settlement.
As conceived by the Internet giant of the Celestial Empire, the dreams of most of the world's population are being realized in a smart city. The idea combines the latest technologies, and the best traditions of education, and complete energy self-sufficiency with an ideal urban environment.
Innovative project
In 2019, a competition was held for the best project of the city of the future, called "Net City". The main requirements were:
- minimal impact on the atmospheric layer;
- maximum comfort for people.
The winner was NBBJ, which focused on avoiding vehicles and maximizing convenience for residents.
The Clean City will be located on the empty lands of the Dachan Bay. Developers focus on pedestrians with limited access to their usual modes of transport.
In terms of area, Net City will be equal to the territory of Monaco. The number of inhabitants is 80,000 people. All Net City buildings are designed by various architectural firms. This will give the city a zest. All squares, as well as roofs and walls of buildings, have special green zones. Photovoltaic panels resembling mountain peaks will be installed on the roofs of the buildings.
For convenience and benefit
Although the project declares the refusal of transport, it was decided to make some exceptions. The distant points of the settlement with the center will be connected by buses. For them, a single corridor is created with the layout of the rest of the entertainment and work zones around it.
Most of the territories were given over to common parks. Roofs are intended for arranging green areas. The construction of both entertainment and educational institutions is planned.
Over time, turn your brainchild into a vital center of Shenzhen. The unusual city will be connected with the metropolis by highways, metro lines and ferries.
Unique design
In addition to its own energy in an area with a particularly changeable climate, it is planned to equip unique systems for waste processing, food production, and electricity generation. Eco-orientation will have a beneficial effect on the cost of maintaining all urban systems, A special place will be the embankment in the form of a huge park green area. It will act as the center of the project, connecting all areas of the city of the future. The abundance of vegetation is especially pleasing. There is a lot of it not only in parks, but throughout Net City.
Not only green roofs and flower beds, but also vertical gardens will perfectly fit into the design. The common space is divided into areas for recreation, education, entertainment and work.
Although preparations for the grandiose construction are scheduled for the end of 2020, the first residents will be able to accept a large-scale project no earlier than in 7 years.
