As the demonstrative urban village quality improvement projects of Longgang, this project aimed to provide the local government with an effective tool for the development and management of urban villages.
The project included four villages, Shanxia New Village, Zhongxinwei Village, Hepinggang Village and Juzikeng Village and looked to solve high density and disorderly development of existing villages.
After detailed site investigation and discussion with our client, three focal themes emerged: safety and security, beautification of the environment, and infusion of vitality.
The project will improve the quality of living environment in urban villages through infrastructure enhancement, quality improvement and highlight space nodes. Our team created toolkits for evaluation and improvement, developed an action plan based on resource endowments and built an overall theoretical framework for improving urban village qualities.
We also developed a progressive micro-renewal framework to ensure projects would be constructed in an orderly manner according to the different development phases. The urban memory and urban safety strategies we planned not only enriched the design connotation of landscape and architecture, but also effectively guided design development and controlled project quality.
The project has followed the ESG development concept and built a systematic and comprehensive assessment system and improvement toolkit from the three dimensions of environment, society and governance based on the organic renewal method, as the commitment scientifically and comprehensively organizes the practice and development of organic renewal of Longgang urban villages.
Zhongxinwei Village won the Urban Design Award (Planning/Conceptual Design Category) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design (HKIUD) in 2021.
