Planning the future

Mott MacDonald is to provide technical assistance in the development of a sustainability strategy for Tianjin Eco-City, encompassing all green building, green transport and industrial and commercial plans One of the most fundamental components of developing an urban environment is to understand the components of the area and identify the opportunities available to activate the regeneration process.

Some key issues include connectivity between buildings and spaces, access to the area from another public open space amenity, commercial activity, sustainable community facilities as well as housing density.

Mott MacDonald has a dedicated team of town planners who are conversant in the planning techniques involved in dealing with these issues. The team has worked with some of the best urban designers, landscape architects and master planners in the world and has a detailed understanding of national and international regulations – which play an equally important role in either restricting or enabling urban regeneration.

The close working relationship between our planners and environ-mental experts ensures that the interface between planning and environ-mental issues is always taken into account from day one.
