Description

    City Overview and Industrial Heritage

     

  • Handan, with a population of approximately 10.5 million, is the center of China's Central Plains economic zone.
  • The city is well-known for its cultural heritage and plays a significant role in Chinese industry, influenced by the Hansteel group.
  • The project aims to incorporate Handan's industrial heritage into a cohesive masterplan, blending its historical identity with modern urban development.

    Masterplan and Key Themes

     

  • Industrial roads from the city's past are being revived and repurposed to form a new transport network for the area.
  • The project's main themes include enhancing water features, expanding green spaces, and conserving heritage.
  • Former industrial buildings are being transformed into key cultural and public facilities.
  •  

    Hotel Metropole Concept
