The Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city seeks to address
the challenge of sustainable development in a holistic and balanced manner. This aim is underpinned by the concept of man living in harmony with
his fellow man, with the economy and with the environment. Arising from this, the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city has the following distinguishing features:
1. Energy Efficiency and Use of Clean, Renewable Energy
The use of clean fuel and renewable energy such as solar energy and geothermal
energy will be pursued and account for at least 20% of the energy utilised in the Eco-city in the longer-term.
2. Green Buildings
All buildings in the Eco-city will conform to green building standards to
ensure efficient energy usage. An energy-conservation
and environment-friendly mindset will also be cultivated in its residents.
3. Green
Transportation
An efficient and easily accessible public transport system will be
developed. Green trips, which include public transportation, cycling
and walking, will be promoted in the Eco-city. The target is
for at least 90 per cent of the trips within the Eco-city to be via
walking, cycling or public transport.
