Panlong Tiandi reimagines an ancient Jiangnan watertown as a modern urban retreat. With a history dating back more than 1,000 years to the Sui Dynasty (AD 581-618), Panlong Town is one of 32 historical protected zones in Shanghai.
Developed by Shui On Group, it was awarded the LEED v4 ND: Built Gold certification for its full-life cycle, green investment from planning, design and construction to operation, the group announced on Friday.
A light projection
It is the first large-scale neighborhood project in Asia to receive the certification.
Spanning 230,000 square meters of green space, Panlong Tiandi was conceived as Xintiandi's rural reinterpretation of its successful urban regeneration projects and dedicated to green, sustainable and people-centric design. Coupled with the introduction of sustainable commercial formats, it provides a harmonious and lifestyle-driven urban retreat for urbanites.
A cruise tour
As a project for suburban village renovation and heritage preservation, Panlong Tiandi has retained Panlong's water system and bridge culture and maintained its Cross Street layout.
Historic landmarks were also restored to their former glory by utilizing green, low-carbon building materials and the recycling of old stones, grey tiles and bricks for construction, with the protection of biodiversity of the native flora and fauna of the area highlighted.
