The New Urbanism and A Community Redefined

The GATE M West Bund Dream Center is an excellent demonstration of how the time between a building’s realisation and its renovation seems to get shorter and shorter. It used to be that we only transformed culturally significant buildings from earlier time periods; here we transform not only 20th century industrial heritage, but even unfinished buildings from recent years. It goes to show how much value every city has in its existing structures that is ripe for designers to unlock.
