Wanting to offer versatile and inclusive communal facilities for its citizens, the city of Tongzhou, China, organized an international masterplan competition in 2018 to envision a new model for the concept of the “Art City”. Crossboundaries – the firm that won the competition – was commissioned to transform a linear streetscape close to the Xiaopu Cultural Plaza into a lively outdoor community park. This project is the first of many vibrant designs emerging in the community.
