Hamburg’s HafenCity and Tianjin’s
Eco-city in China were conceived as model cities for sustainable,
environment-friendly building.
In northern Germany, ten new
housing developments are taking shape on Europe’s largest inner-city
construction site, designed to create a vibrant urban atmosphere on the old
Elbe River waterfront. The Tianjin Eco-city in eastern China, on the other
hand, is going up on virgin land. This
satellite city is seen as a test for cutting urban Chinese energy consumption.
