Ningbo Hi-Tech District Waterfront Park

AECOM

The 115-acre waterfront park is designed to serve and animate the largest redevelopment project in a city of 8 million people—providing recreation, respite, and a connection to nature.  

Honor Award in Design-Built


The park also serves as critical flood mitigation infrastructure. Unlike past developments that degraded the river, this park embraces the river as a focal point and provides improvements to water quality and the area’s biodiversity.




The park also provides vital green space to support the physical and mental health of the community.



Connecting residents and workers within the district to the park’s natural systems that sustain the surrounding software, bio-tech, and electronics industries brings awareness and an appreciation for these environmental resources.
