In recent years, the Company has cooperated with investment funds, Guangdong Poly Property Development Limited and Guangzhou Guangdian Property Development Group Co., Ltd., through which the Company has achieved effective integration of resources and complementing of competitive edges. The Company's current cooperation with Greenland Group and Ping An Group is an innovative mode of cooperation for the Company in recent years, which helps the company to achieve rapid and steady expansion and enhancement in operation quality. In the future, the Company will continue to deepen the mode of cooperation with its partners to establish long-term partnerships beneficial to both parties and also actively explore new ways to develop. Guangzhi Land Parcel at Haizhu District, Guangzhou Guangzhi Land Parce is located in the western part of the Haizhu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, adjacent to the Pearl River with abundant resources.

However, a number of previous studies are carried out only on street (town)-to-district scales, which could cause errors of the accessibility to RCFs for a family. In order to improve the resolution to individual families, we measure and compare the accessibilities to RCFs based on 3494 residential communities and 169 streets of Guangzhou in 2020 through the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method.

  • Relocating to Guangzhou
    The British School of Guangzhou Relocating to Guangzhou Welcome to one of the most populous, energetic and rapidly growing places in China. Estimated to have a population of about 16 million, Guangzhou is a thriving hub where people from all corners of the world converge for everything from business to pleasure. Under the flashy surface of this modern metropolis, lies a rich cultural tradition and a history that spans more than 2200 years. With so much on offer, it is no wonder that families are now choosing to call this city home. Many of our families say that moving to Guangzhou has been one of the most rewarding and fascinating decisions that they have made. If you’re in the midst of considering the big move, here is some handy information that will help you with your decision. Residential Options The majority of expats reside in Tianhe, the most developed downtown area. Several commercial buildings such as Center Plaza (P&G Headquarters), Teem Tower, Citic Plaza and China Shine are located here. This eastern district is also convenient for its proximity to bus, subway and rail links to Guangzhou and the rest of China. Grandview Mall and Teem Mall provide endless shopping options for families. Tianhe is home to several expat-friendly compounds such as Fraser Suites, Regal Court, Hilton Sunshine, Greenery, Favorview Palace, Concordia, Castle Peak and Citic Apartments, and luxury five star hotels like the Sheraton, Sofitel and Westin. Zhujiang New Town, a newer and pricier area that is also part of Tianhe District, is home to the city’s tallest buildings and several shopping malls such as GT Land and Happy Valley.

However, the standards of national regulation and the World Health Organization are yet to be fulfilled in certain areas (in some urban districts among the cities) and/or certain periods (during pollution episode event). A further control policy, hence, has been issued in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020, hereafter 13th FYP). It will be of interest to evaluate the air quality before the 13th FYP (2015) and to estimate the potential air quality by the end of the 13th FYP (2020) with a focus on the area of an urban district and the periods of severe pollution episodes.

  • Shifts in Spatial Plans for Flood Resilience and Climate Adaptation: Examining Planning Procedure and Planning Mandates
    sustainability Article Shifts in Spatial Plans for Flood Resilience and Climate Adaptation: Examining Planning Procedure and Planning Mandates Meng Meng *, Marcin D ˛abrowskiand Dominic Stead Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Department of Urbanism, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Julianalaan 134, 2628BL Delft, The Netherlands; [email protected] (M.D.); [email protected] (D.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31 639 108 103 Received: 4 December 2019; Accepted: 18 December 2019; Published: 21 December 2019 Abstract: The paper examines the development of different spatial plans to address flood resilience in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, one of the most vulnerable cities to flooding and climate change. The analysis focuses on the differences in planning procedures and planning mandates (determined by different plans in authority) before and after the launch of the Sponge City Plan which calls for numerous spatial resilience measures to address the increasing flood risk. The analysis reveals that the introduction of the Sponge City Plan has changed the role of planning from onlooker to active participant in the arena of flood governance. In addition, new plans combine long-term strategic visions, soft principles, and strict regulations with an aim to promote concrete planning practice between multiple layers with a clear mandate. Despite these shifts, institutional and territorial challenges remain. Keywords: spatial planning; flood risk management; procedures; mandates; planning tools; horizontal interactions; vertical cross-level coordination 1. Introduction Exacerbated by climate change, flood hazards have long been recognized as a considerable threat to coastal and deltaic cities [1]. The requirement to achieve a resilient and adaptive society and avoid negative economic, social, and environmental costs is becoming more urgent [2,3].
