Gansu, a former trading hub along the Silk Road, our conceptual masterplan design draws on its history and the influence of one belt one road policy to create an innovative urban model for livable city. RSP’s winning design forthe new city will feature university villages, R&D, offices, residential plots together with cultural & innovation hubs and high value added industrial belt along the rivers and mountains to build a strong connection to local context. Among three urban cells well integrated with a bold green and blue framework, a large Central Park will be designated for urban forest flanked by regional creative headquarters and pedestrian shopping streets, exhibition centre, art and cultural facilities and science museum etc.

甘肃是丝绸之路上的重要贸易枢纽，我们的概念性总体规划设计再续丝路辉煌，在一带一路的大背景下引进创新规划模式, 打造兰州城市副中心，西部创新主平台。RSP的总体规划将包括大学村、研发、办公、居住、文化创新中心，以及沿山体与河流之间高附加值产业带，建立与文脉的紧密联系。三个城市细胞功能单元与蓝绿系统框架有机结合，中部大型中央公园旨在创造城市森林，联系两侧矗立的区域性创新总部基地、步行购物街、会展中心、艺术文化设施与科技博物馆等。

Our design will pioneer future industries, especially those related to urban sustainability and cultural renewal in a livable city. We conceptualized a multi-level green space system integrated with a three-dimensional pedestrian walking system from underground to sky bridge to protect and enrich the local natural ecology while catering to its community’s needs.

我们的设计将引领未来产业，尤其是那些与宜居城市的可持续发展和文化复兴有关的产业。我们设计了一个结合了地下、地上立体步行系统的多层次绿色空间系统，以保护和丰富当地的自然生态，同时满足其社区的需求。

Low-carbon principles and multiple intelligent energy utilization techniques have also been weaved into the city’s design core infrastructure to sustain the environment and foster a culture of green innovation.

低碳原理和多种智能能源利用技术也融入到城市设计的核心基础架构中，以维持环境可持续并培育绿色创新文化。

Where Lanzhou used to connect East and West through its strategic location along the Silk Road, it will now connect past and future as a sustainable home for culture heritage and eco-innovation.

兰州曾经通过丝绸之路的战略位置将东西方联系起来，现在它将过去和未来联系起来，成为弘扬文化遗产和生态创新的可持续之源。
