Futian Streetscape
Aligned to Shenzhen’s economic development masterplan, the restoration of Futian’s streetscape unites fragmented public spaces and transport infrastructure to optimise regional ecological and recreational values. In collaboration with Shenzhen Urban Management and Comprehensive Law and Transportation Departments, McGregor Coxall created the ‘Rainbow Corridor’: a bright series of interconnected parks, plazas, recreation and fitness amenities, and public art installations unifying key community infrastructure along primary highways, Caitian and Fuqiang Road. Integrated with developments to Metro Line 10, our landscape strategy proposes a green belt split into four unique sections, individualised by coloured flowering vegetation, wayfinding, seating, fitness, and interactive yet educational playground amenities. A reconfigured street typology increases solar exposure, open space, and greenspace, enhancing biodiversity and comfort for residents and tourists of all ages.
