Overview
This project focuses on the examination and development of a new town for the county of Jintang, Chengdu, China. A satellite city just outside of the Western Chinese city of Chengdu, Jintang is slated to double its population in the coming 20-25 years, and seeks planning strategy and designs to accommodate planned growth. Students dealt with real site issues and, building on the TRUDC’s existing relationships with government officials in Jintang, including collaboration with officials from the American Planning Association (APA), examined existing conditions, developed infrastructure connectivities, planned neighborhoods and communities, and created architectural design guidelines that the client can use to help guide development in the coming years.
Site
The site for this project is upon the eastern side of one of the two rivers that transect the existing city of Jintang, China. The existing development of the city expanded outwards from the confluence of the two rivers. The “old city” sits at the peninsula where the rivers meet and development has historically been eastward. There is a space north of the old city where development has not expanded into and some students took on the area in addition to the larger eastern site in order to create greater connectivity between the new and old cities. The area is almost entirely flat with almost no existing development upon the site except for a set of three universities that are situated near the base of the mountains that form the edge of the site. A couple of mountain streams meander through the site and students were encouraged to take their presence into account when planning the city. Unlike the clear mountain streams, the river itself is fairly polluted(as are most rivers in the region) but some effort has been made to improve the water quality and make it a desirable commodity for recreation in the future. A small, uninhabited, man-made island is situated at the bend of the river and students were encouraged to incorporate the island into their designs along with the other existing factors. Two existing bridges cross the river and students took various approaches to expand the crossability of the river.
Program
Several program and districting criteria were given to the students to guide them in the design of the new city. Civic program that needed to placed on the site includes a small stadium, an arena, a library, a cultural center/museum, a small visitor’s center, and a public park(s). They were encouraged to use these pieces of programming to help layout and define the new development area. Students focused upon the creation of separate districts such as; Arts, Residential, Culture/ Museum, Central Business District, Waterfront/Canal, Gateway (entry to the new town), Parks/Recreation, and Downtown Shopping. Through the creation of a set of design guidelines, students endeavored to generate, and quantify, the experiential qualities that they wished to impart upon the different districts of the city keeping in mind ideas about density, greenspace, and transportation/pedestrian networks. Students were also encouraged to question the typical accepted programs and networks by adding components that they felt would work positively within their individual scheme.

The streets in the CBD and the commercial districts contain space for mass transit and bike lanes. With several types of transit, the city becomes a dynamic site for varied exchanges. The sidewalks are wide for pedestrians and outdoor dining. Trees and vegetation replensh the air and provide haptic differences. The buildings’ setbacks are designed for light and air to circulate down to the streets. The streets at times may be overshadowed, but with broad bases and narrower towers will allow a greater ratio of open horizon. This will combat the ‘canyon effect’, allow more livable neighborhoods, and boost the quality-of-living. These open streets will contain various plazas and encourage walking.
