Jury comment

Beijing Central Green Forest Park is an urban forest habitat achieving 85 percent forest coverage and a self-sustaining stormwater management system on a former industrial site. Described as a “designed forest,” the project celebrates the value of time and the heritage of culture and ecological restoration. The core concept draws on the 24 solar terms of the traditional Chinese calendar, which resonate with everyday users. Remarkably, this rich and diverse landscape has been achieved in three years, and has delivered great ecological and cultural value for its locality.
