The fourth International Urban Planning And Design Competition kicked off on Wednesday with the goal of further helping the old industrial city of Tangshan in North China s Hebei Province, which had been devastated by an earthquake, transform itself into a green and creative urban center.
Tangshan is located in the central area of the Bohai Rim Economic Circle and is a core area of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei development strategy. It is a coastal industrial city with a history of over 100 years, and also a city with a miserable memory.
