Jazan Chinese District Masterplan, Saudi Arabia

 

EUASIA Ltd were commissioned by the Royal Commission of Jazan, Saudi Arabia, to design a residential district as part of the Community Zone of a major industrial city on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. The district, covering some 155.6 ha, in the City of Jazan, is to cater for a Chinese community as part of China’s major future investment in the industrial city. A specialized design for the district, which reflects Chinese urban features (both traditional and modern) was prepared to accommodate an ultimate resident population of 12,500.

 

An emphasis on mixed-use development, segregation of vehicular and pedestrian circulation and other green features was key in the design. The planning and design was also based on comprehensive research on the latest Chinese city planning trends, as well as on traditional international Chinatown developments.

Key infrastructure projects were identified as part of the border concept plans. Ministers at the GMS ministerial conference in Kunming endorsed the preliminary outcomes.

 

Xiao Meng Industrial Park Northern D Zone Lots Development

Given that so much industrial planning in China is mainstream and highly standardised, with resulting problems of oversupply and abundance of routine-style building environments, there is a need to create innovative, high quality industrial environments.

 

EUASIA Ltd created an innovative design for the industrial park, heavily influenced by the natural environment and green issues. All planning layouts, building typologies and urban design concepts were also realistic to the financial viability of the project, and included a flexible phasing strategy designed to attract investment to the area.
