"Over the last 10 years, China's cities have grown in two ways: by increasing density within the historical cores, and by adding new cities adjacent to the old," said KPF principal James von Klemperer. "The latter phenomenon has resulted in a twin city paradigm. Thus, we have Shanghai's Puxi and Pudong, Beijing's old center and new CBD. Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and many other cities have sprouted new towns."

James von Klemperer said that, in a new town such as Meixi, new urban innovations can be integrated into the design.
"We can combine water transport with localised energy production, cluster neighborhood centres, advanced flood prevention and water management, and urban agriculture," he said.
"Meixi is an experiment in future city planning and building. It will serve Changsha as a new CBD, but it will also serve as a paradigm for other Chinese city planners. It's a kind of live test case."
