This master plan exemplifies how private development can be harnessed to preserve historic areas and promote a city’s unique identity. As unremitting high-rise development threatens the architectural heritage of Foshan’s Old Town, this master plan points the way towards enhanced livability. Sensitively scaled districts encompass a range of building heights to encourage transit development and use.
