BUILT ENVIRONMENT: Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city

The newly announced Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city is the result of a collaborative agreement between China and Singapore to jointly develop a socially harmonious, environmentally friendly and resource-conserving city in China. Envisioned as a city where people live in harmony with one another, and where economic development will not be at the expense of the environment, the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city will serve as a model for sustainable development for cities in China and other parts of the world. When fully developed, the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city will be home to about 350,000 residents. Other eco-city developments in China include Dongtan eco-city.
