Danwei, the communist work-life urban unit, into today’s Chinese cities was usually an enclosed community, built by government or state-owned corporations, to provide jobs, housing and other welfare facilities to their employees. It then represented a unique vision of constructing city in China under Planned Economy. However, the physical walls of these outdated superblock compound units became problematic nowadays. They caused traffic congestions, inefficient urban space utilization, and ultimately the privatization of public facilities. The proposal is aimed to solve these issues.
