An eco-logistics city powered by renewables. Situated on the Yangtze River, Wuhan is located at China’s geo-economical heart and is the biggest water, land and transportation hub in inland China.

The goals of the project include creating an integrated low-carbon transport network, the optimisation of natural capital, generation of localised renewable energy, producing thermal and generating electrical power, enriched communities, the creation of industrial interdependence and the delivery of economic viability.

The vision for the eco-logistics park is to create the environment for innovative industrial interdependence, adopting a commercially productive, socially beneficial and ecologically intelligent approach to the making of things. The philosophy reflects the 5,000-year tradition of Chinese agriculture that humanity can have a mutually beneficial relationship with the biological world in ‘cradle-to-cradle’ rather than ‘cradle-to-grave’ agriculture.
