Dongtan Eco-city | East Asia | Arup: "We are working as a strategic partner with Shanghai Industrial Investment Corporation (SIIC) on the integrated masterplanning for the world’s first sustainable city.
At three quarters the size of Manhattan and located on the third largest island in China at the mouth of the Yangtse river, Dongtan will be developed on 630 hectares of land as a sustainable city to attract a range of commercial and leisure investments.
Ecologically sensitive design will be a key element of the masterplan. The site is mostly agricultural land adjacent to a huge wetland of global importance. This will be a significant opportunity to apply our integrated sustainability and urban planning expertise to the benefit of the eco-city.
