The project was a competition from the municipality of Guangzhou for the district of Huang Pu. This district wanted to change its character, from being an area that supports only the harbor facilities, to being a district that plays an important role for the whole city of Guangzhou. The main feature of the Huang Pu district is its waterfront area and the numerous water canals that exist in the district. The district also has a few islands, the most important of which is the Changzhou Island that has great historical importance. The core area of urban design was approximately 5 sq. km and was designed in order to reflect the specific functions of the city, the specialties of this particular region and the image of the city it wants to have in the future. The urban planning fully reflected the unique location and features of the Huang Pu district, with enhanced port services and high-end developments for the historic Whampoa military area on the Changzhou Island.A main core for the district was created and businesses (CBD) were introduced in a livable modern waterfront city. As a highlight and an impulse for this new area, a cruise terminal was planned that emphasizes the step for step development of the area from an industrial harbor to a harbor with touristic facilities. This helped improve the eastern part of Guangzhou City in its overall image and competitiveness.All important elements were thoroughly thought out in the design process of the master plan: spatial structure and land-use, landscape systems organization, public space system, traffic planning, construction of eco-system, historical and cultural protection and reconstruction of villages. The core area of urban design was prepared with strategies, construction timing and the staging of implementation, as well as the economic analysis of important facilities, land-use planning and construction. The development of detailed urban design resulted in the formulation of: architectural design guidelines, street design guidelines, shoreline waterfront design guidelines, environment facility design guidelines and sustainable development guidelines.
