Proclamation by Tangshan Nanhu Eco- City Administrative Committee of Collecting Competitors for the International Consulting Competition of Designing Overall Planning & Regional Regulatory Detailed Planning for Tangshan Nanhu Eco- City
Ⅰ. Background of the Project
Tangshan positions in the northeast of Hebei Province with Yanshan Mountain to its north, Bohai Sea to the south, neighbouring Qinhuangdao to the east and Beijing & Tianjin to the west. It covers a total area of 13,472 km2 with a population of 7.06 million , has a shoreline of 196.5 km and the area of tidal flat is 830 km2. It is part of the north China Plain. Tangshan, a resource- based industrial city with a history of over one hundred years is called the Cradle of Chinese Moden Industries because the first large- scaled coal mine in morden China, the first standard- gauge railway line, the first pack of cement and the first sanitary ceramic ware of China were all built or made in Tangshan. The scale of the central part of Tangshan is from the southeast of the city to the north along with the Douhe River where the capital culture, the historical culture and the modern industrial culture have been melted. Nearly 80% of the productive buildings and 94% of the living buildings had been ruined or badly destroyed in the big earthquake happened on July 28th, 1976. Also lots of exsited historical places and buildings were razed to the ground and the area of ground subsidence caused by coal mining with a history of more than 100 years reached at 100 km2 at that time. With 30- year restoration and construction, the layout of downtown area has formed a chessboard pattern. The city was awarded the “Habitat Scroll of Honor” by the United Nations in 1990 and “National Garden City” in 2003. By the carrying out of large- scaled eco- engineering, 150 hectare coal mine subsidence positioned 2 kilometers away to the south of the downtown areas had been changed into an eco- garden named Nanhu Park, and was awarded Dubai International Reward for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment by the United Nations in 2004.
In recent years, with the promulgation of the macroeconomic policy and the national regional development strategy, Tangshan plays a more and more important role in the Beijing- Tianjin- Tangshan urban agglomeration. It faces the chance of economic transition and development relying on Caofeidian Port. Molding urban identity, improving city images, developing the city from regional views have become the main direction for the future development of Tangshan. Tangshan Municipal Committee of CPC and Tangshan Municipal People’s Government proposed to develop Tangshan into a city of happiness for the people under guidance of the principle of building a demonstrative region of scientific development through opening up and reform; To build Tangshan into a new coastal city with thick cultural atmosphere, with great economic strength and a city which is comfortable to live in; To construct “Four Major Function Areas” include Nanhu Eco- park Function Area, Caofeidian Eco-City Function Area, Airport Town Function Area and Phoenix Town Function Area and to form a construction pattern of “Four Spots and One Corridor” which means the economic corridor composed by Caofeidian New Area, Laoting New Area, Fengnan Coastal Industrial Zone and Luhan Economic & Technological Development Zone.
In order to deeply implement the instructions proposed by Tangshan Municipal Committee of CPC and Tangshan Municipal People’s Government and to construct Nanhu Eco- City as the model in rebuilding the old town area, and the example in transferring the resource- oriented city into an eco- city, the International Consulting Competition of Designing Overall Planning & Regional Regulatory Detailed Planning for Tangshan Nanhu Eco- City is going to be held. Based on the eco- restoration, excavatation of the cultural heritage, landscape planting and enlargement of the lake surface, Nanhu Eco- City will become a recreational resort, a cultural creativity garden and a national wetland park. It will surely promote the development of garden real estate and urban structure.
