The Metropolis New City Development is a dense,
mixed-use community in Shanghai, China.
Due to parking requirements, the majority of the
open space sits on top of a lower-level parking deck.
POD Design organized the spaces around a central
corridor incorporating the clubhouse and pool area,
a passive park, and an active park.
Several themed gardens are evenly distributed
throughout the site with activity areas for seniors
and children’s playgrounds.
A lot of consideration was given to maintain a safe and
attractive circulation route for emergency vehicles.
