Broadway Malyan has won an international competition to design the ‘Chengdu Creative Centre’ – the first phase of a landmark new urban district in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province and a major city in Western China. The new high-tech business park and mixed use Centre will form the high-profile gateway to the new district which will be named Tianfu New Town.



Drawing inspiration from the local surroundings, the masterplan will create an integrated web of office, retail and green public spaces focused around a statement 110m central tower. The development will set the tone for the future growth of Tianfu New Town and create a new benchmark for sustainable development in the region by halving current energy consumption standards.



China’s state council has designated Chengdu as the country’s western centre of logistics, commerce, finance, science and technology, as well as a hub of transportation and communication. It is also an important base for manufacturing and agriculture. A previous survey by the World Bank on global investment environments also identified Chengdu as a benchmark city for investment in inland China. Source by Broadway Malyan.
