The Baietan Urban Design Master Plan is a prototype for fine-grained planning on a vast scale. The Plan comprehensively addresses population growth and urbanization that characterize today’s China, and it demonstrates how density, comprehensively planned and innovatively executed, is fundamental to successful urban revitalization, ecological renewal, and sustainable city growth.
