ABSTRACT

Liangzhu New Town, located in the northern suburbs of Hangzhou City with Liangzhu culture relics, is planned to be an integrated ecological and cultural leisure tourism town with liveable habitat. The essay focuses on the design plan, analyses, the sustainable strategies implemented. The new town is designed with social, ecological, and economic concepts. The planning emphasizes on creative industries, which not only complement the primitive Liangzhu culture and promote each other. The planning adopts innovative modes of development, respect the tradition, and encourage creativity and use local resources, which is a successful practice of garden city. Moreover, further deficiencies are explored. Lastly, critical thinking is proposed based on the analysis. Residential part is overemphasized, but commerce, culture and eco-tourism fail to catch up with real estate. The design ideas of Liangzhu are a case study to provide advanced experience and great context to the preservation and utilization of national relics in China.
