Climatopolis China YANGZE RIVER CENTER
Soft mobility and short circuits for the benefit of the environment and the well-being
of local residents.
Scheduled for completion in 2021, this 15,000 m2 smart city has been designed in
line with sustainable architectural practices, using materials such as wood, stone and
recycled plant products from the circular economy for construction biomaterials,
insulation, glues and paints.
Our architect partner Duccio Cardelli respected all environmental constraints to
make this exceptional site an exemplary and unique design model in the country,
combining eco-construction, renewable energies, sustainable water management
and the restoration of biodiversity in this industrial wasteland.
This first greentech scientific complex is an exemplary smart city, which has made it
possible to rehabilitate a disused and polluted former factory. This Smart City
dedicated to climate change has even won the PLATINIUM and SILVER AWARD
awards reserved for outstanding innovations in buildings of the future.
