The Shijiazhuang City project is focused on creating a resilient urban environment that can withstand the challenges of climate change. The landscape design is centered around self-sufficiency and self-reliance, achieved through four key pillars: eco-friendly food production, water treatment, recycling, and renewable energy. By fostering urban food production, purifying water, recycling building materials, and restoring natural ecosystems, Shijiazhuang City is set to become a model of sustainability. The design celebrates water in a natural, traditional Chinese manner, featuring rock pools, meandering paths, and native plantings that create inviting, safe spaces for all residents.

__ Utilizing the "sponge city" concept, the project ensures effective water management and enhances the city’s resilience. This innovative approach not only secures the city’s future but also makes it an attractive investment and living destination.
