Dongtan, Planned eco-city site in Chongming District, China
The Dongtan development area encompasses 32,600 hectares at the eastern end of Chongming Island, near the intersection of the Yangtze River and East China Sea.
The Dongtan eco-city project started in 2005 with British engineering company Arup and Shanghai Industrial Investment, but construction halted in 2010 without any buildings completed.
The location borders Chongming Dongtan Nature Reserve, which provides habitat for 111 species of migratory waterbirds and maintains traditional Chinese environmental preservation methods.
The metro station on the Chongming line of Shanghai Metro will connect Dongtan to the mainland transportation network when it opens in 2026.
The original plans specified energy-efficient buildings, waste-to-energy systems, and wind power to create a carbon-neutral urban environment for 500,000 residents by 2050.
