Guiyang Old City Long Range Redevelopment Plan 2025 is the horizon for the LRDP for the historic city of Guiyang. During the past decade, growth that could not be absorbed by
Guiyang, China the Old City led to development of a nearby ‘twin city’, thereby gradually altering the functions and status of the Old City. The
need to find a better balance for the growth of the region led authorities to commission an LRDP to guide renewal of the Old
City over the next decade.

Scale: To establish baseline conditions and redevelopment opportunities, extensive field surveys and data collection took place. This
855 hectares led to the discovery that the Guancheng River, a tributary to the Nanming River, had been covered by other uses. Restoring
22 million square meters of development this river, introducing three new transit corridors, and deciding to retain existing road alignments became some of the primary

Fuyang Satellite Town Plan The new CBD addition to the historical city of Hangzhou has created a regional center that has weakened the economy of nearby
Fuyang, Anhui, China Fuyang. To correct this, a New Regional Center is being planned using three key elements: Preservation and consolidation of
old town Fuyang; redevelopment of the underutilized industrial district to its south; and development of a 31 square kilometer
island as a national center for Sport and Sport Research, and as a regional employment center. Planned at FAR 1, and using

preserve. Inside the loop on the main island is a Sports University at one end, an international Sports Center at the other, and
in between are the Athlete’s Villages and the new CBD, all served by a riverfront entertainment and recreation district, and a
regional retail center. The core is connected mixed-use and residential neighborhoods to its east by new and existing highways
that connect Fuyang to Huangzhou. On either side of the main axis that is established by the regional retail center and a 65
