Twin Moon Bay Park: Civic Enrichment Yields Environmental Stewardship

Project locationTwin Moon Bay, Guangdong, China

ClientTwin Moon Bay Real Estate Development

Twin Moon Bay Park sets a new precedent for sensitive coastal development in China. The landscape architect defines comprehensively synergistic goals: economic viability, social equity, and environmental stewardship; all embraced within a low-impact design strategy. Goals were achieved on a challenging site: rugged terrain, harsh soil conditions, damaged sites, and a limited budget. It is the first and only public park for this historic fishing town. The larger mixed-use development subscribed to environmentally driven place-making values.
