Shenfu New Town – A New City to be Built in China

Californian-based The Goddard Group, specializing in project development and design, announced one their latest projects in April. Located between the cities of Shenyang and Fushun in the northeast of China, a completely new city called “Shenfu New Town” will be built on a total area of ten square kilometers during the next four to five years. The Goddard Group provided the concept and master planning of an area covering over two square kilometers of urban design, including housing, retail, entertainment, civic buildings, parks, lakes and other community-based design elements. The “Ring of Harmony”, a 154-meter tall steel ring, will serve as the new city’s iconic symbol and be overlooking two massive lakes. This eye-catcher is to symbolize Shenfu New Town – “a place where people and nature live in harmony together”. The developers hope that their newest project will be equally successful as the Goddard Group-designed “Galaxy Macau” Mega Resort and Casino in China, which has been awarded “World’s Best Casino / Integrated Resort of the Year” in 2012.
