The Donghai District, close to the old city center of the seaport of Quanzhou, will becpme the future center for the city expansion project. In the future, this district shall relieve the historical old town while at the same time strengthening the links between the other city quarter centres along the Quanzhou Bay. The the natural situations, such as the topography and water landscape, will serve as the starting point for the planning, as willthe areas cultural resources. The aim of the planning is to construct a living space of high quality and with its own identity, without losing sight of creating a sustainable and ecological environment.The underlying idea is to create a new image for the Donghai area through the design of the waterfront and the enhancement of the governmental- and cultural axis through the flower-like building structure that forms the entrance to the CBD area. In doing so, the existing waterfront is revalued as an open public space for everyone.The inner central axis will serve as an urban axis and connecting urban backbone for existing and new neighborhoods. Various forms of housing provide a choice of urban, green, or waterfront living. The crosslinking of the green spaces throughout the whole area and the waterfront design will emphasize and strengthen the given location´s natural environment. The administrative center and the cultural buildings are integrated into the main green with views of the mountain river. The CBD area is focused on the “petals” of the flower, and on the western side of the cultural axis.
