Yang Xuang, co+labo Masters student who initiated our participation in the "Q-City Plan Competition” summarises that that was an effort to enhance the quality and diversity of micro public spaces in the city of Qinhuangdao (China) which is, among other reasons, famous as the place where the Great Wall of China begins. The aim of the “Q-City Plan” is to achieve effective urban regeneration in its redevelopment process alter the traditional way of urban planning that follows the top- bottom logic and help provide the residents a better quality of life. That perfectly resonated with co+labo values.
