A new city district in Taipei Taiwan for 150.000 people working and living in a river city. A pilot case of River Urbanism as a solution for a Third Generation City - built human environment growing from the river.

A new man-made river will be created through the Guandu plain providing clean water for the future residents. The new Guandu River will take most of its water from the polluted Keelong River and also collects streams from the surrounding mountains. The 7.2 km long river will act as a biological filter with different vegetation and filtering layers purifying the river water for residential use.
