New images and video released of the urban regeneration masterplan for Jinqiao mixed-use development in Shanghai

In April this year, Chapman Taylor won a design competition for two retail-led development blocks in a new mixed-use development to be built at Jinqiao, in Shanghai, China.

The competition involved the design of nine building blocks, with 19 designers from 14 of the world’s best-known masterplanners and architects of mixed-use developments taking part. The competition was part of a collaborative process aimed at producing a new world-class, mixed-use district for Shanghai.

Peter Mackey and Main Board Director Chris Lanksbury designed the two winning blocks. Chapman Taylor was the only firm awarded two blocks in the competition.

The aim is to open all nine blocks of the landmark 1,000,000m² development, which will be planned collaboratively between all the winning designers, within four years.

Jinqiao is a good illustration of just how well-positioned Chapman Taylor is in China, and of the excellent reputation we have gained. Chapman Taylor is now solidly considered as one of the leading international architects firms in China.
