This state-of-the-art sustainable project is really about the future of mankind, and how we move forward in planning and building our future communities. China is seeing itself as a future leader of eco-agricultural production and technology, and the project is envisioned to set an influential precedent world-wide. The idea is to demonstrate a “closed-loop” approach toward resources like energy, water, and waste on a single site. The project's local focus and agricultural model suggest ways to go beyond the increasingly unsustainable march of globalization. -James Mary O'Connor, AIA, Principal
