For the urban design of Kunming New City, we applied the best current practices in Sustainable Development and New Urbanism Theory. The four key areas of urban ecology, cultural protection, transportation and economic development were given in-depth consideration and research in order to provide a viable blueprint that conforms to the strategic development goals of Kunming well into the future.
