The Mangrove forest in this area plays an important role for the eco-system in the southern Mekong region and is partly protected. Our “Islands” concept is formed by seven independent islands in this area keeping the original location of the waterways and creating a green buffer around the central island developments. Characterized by superblocks a decentralized connectivity is achieved by locating activities, programs, services, and integrated warehouses on central area and through placement of service hubs such as the administrative area, logistics and transport company offices and business center, complementary commercial services. Our concept was awarded the Second prize in an open urban planning competition.
