Overview

Deqing Xiazhu Lake Wetland Resort Area


Zhejiang, China

Project type: Regional City & Town Strategy
Location: Zhejiang, China
Client: Greentown Real Estate Group
Stage: Masterplan
Programme: 2009–2010

The JTP team produced a concept plan for the growth of Deqing City outlining how the city could improve its image by enhancing its offer to both residents and visitors.

The site was primarily wetland, mountain and agricultural land, and contained a number of existing settlements.

“
JTP's masterplan clearly defines zones between man and nature, which gives the major principles for wetland site development.

Project Delivery

  • The design concept is based on harmony between man and nature; and the area has been split into six zones that respond to the site’s topography, the natural environment and human development.
  • A masterplan that locates the new town to the south-west of the natural wetlands and aims to protect the wetland sanctuary and bird island by developing tourist attractions such as a wetland visitor centre and wetland park, hotels, clubs and retreats.
  • A leisure lake was created at the lower site of Xiazhu Lake, to maximise the protection of the wetland sanctuary. It will be used for water sports and leisure boating, which is linked to the retail street to the north.
