LWK+Partners’ planning and urban design team in Hong Kong office have teamed up with Shenzhen and Chongqing studios to create an urban cultural hub for the community.
In a press statement, LWK+Partners, said: “Concerns for ecological conservation and healthy living are rooted in the project to promote a new urban lifestyle with diverse waterscapes and built spaces in an area undergoing regeneration.
