Design company Benoy has unveiled its masterplan and design plans for the core Minghu district of Ningo Eastern New Town in China. 

The design plans have been guided by creating a “harmony between landscape and city, symbiosis with nature,” intended to create a new urban landmark.

Featuring a multi-level urban park with a rich, layered commercial experience that blends cultural elements with natural textures. 

Alongside office space, the masterplan features a lakeside resort retail, residential zones and a transport hub. 

New pedestrian and cycling bridges intend to enhance accessibility and livability. 

The result of the design plans aim to create a transit-orientated development (TOD) that brings together commercial offices, residential apartments and community services.
