En'ning Road Urban Renovation

The project is on the north side of Enning Road and the south side of Lichi Bay Chung, Guangzhou. Back in 1931, the neighborhood was one of the most flourishing neighborhoods in the region. Over time, the
building density grew to meet the ever-increasing demand from the growing population. The aging architecture and crumbling infrastructure overshadowed the legacy of the Enning Road neighborhood and drove the young generation away. By the 2000s, the community had become an urban decay and dominantly resided by elderlies.
