In 2007, the idea of such an eco-city was formed. This was a
strategic plan of China and Singapore to tackle the major challenges
faced in terms of climate change, building a harmonious society, and
sustainable development.
It was a major decision by the two countries
to further develop a mutually beneficial cooperation and to deepen the
partnership based on the earlier success of the Suzhou Industrial Park.
The project was in line with the trends of the times, and would meet
the current needs of China.
China responded to Singapore’s project
proposal and quickly started the site selection and business negotiation
processes. Six months later, Tianjin Binhai New Area was officially
chosen as the site for the eco-city project.
A typical example of an eco-city - The Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city” commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the Tianjin Eco-city. It documents the journey thus far, distilling the lessons learned and offer insights into the project’s future development.
