Designed in partnership with Brookfield/Gazeley the Wuhan International Eco-logistics Park master plan is for a multi-modal and multi-functional logistics park on an unprecedented scale. It will introduce a ground-breaking concept within China for an eco-logistics city powered by renewables. Situated on the Yangtze River, Wuhan is located at China’s geo-economical heart and is the biggest water, land and transportation hub in inland China. The goals of the project include: • An integrated low-carbon transport network • Optimisation of natural capital • Localised renewable energy (producing thermal and generating electrical) • Enriched communities • Creation of industrial interdependence • Delivery of economic viability Wuhan International Eco-logistics Park will create the environment for innovative industrial interdependence, adopting a commercially productive, socially beneficial, ecologically intelligent approach to the making of things. It will reflect the 5000-year tradition of Chinese agriculture that humanity can have a mutually beneficial relationship with the biological world in ‘cradle-to-cradle’ rather than ‘cradle-to-grave’ agriculture. It is one of several projects Chetwoods is currently working on in China.
