Ningbo (China): New light design presents three rivers merging

Goal 8.4

Promoting the architectural and landscape integration of port facilities.

Challenge(s)

How to improve the image of the port and maritime landscape for the citizens?

Best Practice

Innovative utilisation of light, colour, and materials holds the transformative power to revitalise the architectural landscape of public areas and structures, dispelling the negative industrial connotations often associated with port cities. The Ningbo Lighting Plan exemplifies this transformative approach, employing light to accentuate the city’s converging rivers and celebrate its unique identity. This initiative catalyses inspiring creative thinking in our architectural endeavours, urging the exploration of novel ways of revitalising urban spaces.
