CR Land recently unveiled its latest strategic plan for the city of Nanjing at a grand launch event. Our Design Principals, Chin Yong Ng and Lukasz Wawrzenczyk, were invited to share 10 Design's vision and design thinking behind the Dajiaochang Project in Nanjing, China.

The design envisions a contemporary retail destination that fully integrates with the rail network while creating an extensive public realm. As part of a wider redevelopment of the historic Dajiaochang military airbase, the scheme also reimagines the 2.6km airport runway into a multifunctional cultural boulevard that doubles as a green pedestrian axis.


The redevelopment of the airbase echoes the past, whilst reflecting the future of Nanjing. This important new destination will provide the city with a cosmopolitan landmark, which in parallel responds to the cultural richness of its location.
