Project of eco-town Dongtan in China

Abstract

This paper presents concisely the project of ecological town Dongtan in China. That ambitious project, created by the company Arup, unfortunately is not realized. The paper describes project objectives and construction termination reasons. The unrealized project of Dongtan eco-town is instructive for architects, because it shows ideas and problems of sustainable urbanism and architecture.

U ovom radu je sažeto prikazan projekat ekološkog grada Dongtan u Kini. Taj ambiciozan projekat, koji je uradila kompanija Arup, nažalost nije realizovan. Rad opisuje ciljeve projekta i razloge prekida izgradnje. Neostvaren projekat eko-grada Dongtan poučan je za arhitekte, jer pokazuje ideje i probleme održivog urbanizma i arhitekture.
