An Australian team of architects and landscape planners has beaten fierce competition from all over the world to land the design project for Nanjing’s Historic Zone. Melbourne based Architects CK Designworks and sustainability and landscape planners, ERM, won the bid in competition with teams from England, Singapore, Taiwan and China.
The 40 sq.km project forms part of the UNESCO world heritage area and it is hoped that it be entirely free of private vehicles, instead employing alternative forms of mass tourist transport coupled with major car, bus and high-speed rail interchanges. Assisting the Australians with economic and demographic research are Nanjing University
