Zhongshan Talents Park

Zhongshan Talents Park locates in the new urban core of Shiqi District, Zhongshan. Along the Qijiang River, a significant waterbird preservation corridor in Great Bay Area, the 55-acre waterfront is planned to be the future economic and ecological center of Zhongshan City. Our priority is to create a co-living place for humans and birds to share without interrupting each other. Constructed wetlands, island chains, forest conservation zone, and other topography changes are essential tools to cover the birds’ needs for shelter at different stages of their lives. A 100% rainwater management system is also implemented to mitigate urban environmental impacts furthermore. The park will provide public spaces for visitors to share a wonderful time with waterbirds in urban areas.

As the eco core of the future urban center, the park provides gathering and activity spaces for the public. Surrounding communities are encouraged to participate in the maintenance of the wetlands, especially children. Playgrounds, sand pits, and sliders invite them to come closer to nature, guiding them to appreciate the beauty of wildlife and the natural environment. The sponge city strategy used in the design sets a paradigm for relevant municipal projects in Zhongshan. It educates not only citizens but our clients on the importance of resilient design and will lead other projects to incorporate resiliency strategies into their designs. As a result, the park will become a recreational and educational destination for citizens to share a wonderful time with waterbirds in the future urban center.

The park is currently under construction and will open in 2024.
