China to Build Car-Free City

Crazy or cool? China is taking a currently rural area and turning it into a high-density, car-free city. "Great City" will be built around a high-rise core housing 80,000 people, entirely walkable, and surrounded by green space.


Walking from the center of the city to built-in green spaces takes just ten minutes, and other nearby urban centers will be accessible by a mass transit system.


Web Urbanist has the story and lots of visualizations of what the city will look like.
