Transforming Xintiandi Panlong: Biophilic Landscape Design for Shanghai’s Urban Retreat
2021-09-08
A Green Renaissance in the Heart of Shanghai
A new cultural landmark is rising in Shanghai’s Hongqiao district: Xintiandi Panlong, an ambitious urban regeneration project led by Shui On Land.
Reviving Panlong Town, a 1,400-year-old historical settlement, this development blends traditional architecture with modern innovation across 230,000 sqm of landscaped space—home to art centers, boutique hotels, and waterfront restaurants.
Mingzhu Nerval is proud to contribute to this visionary project by designing interior greenery for the Panlong Pavilion showroom—a 10,000 sqm demonstration zone that sets the tone for the development’s broader green vision.
Our work in Xintiandi Panlong reflects our expertise in biophilic design, botanical integration, and sustainable urban landscaping. Through careful planning and cultural sensitivity, we aim to seamlessly connect nature, heritage, and contemporary living.
“Our contribution to Xintiandi Panlong exemplifies how biophilic design and luxury urban landscaping can enhance urban regeneration projects, creating architectural green spaces that connect people with nature.”
As cities expand, projects like this demonstrate the role of landscape architecture in shaping resilient, meaningful, and livable environments.
Partner with us to reimagine cities through green infrastructure and cultural landscape design. See how our biophilic approach supports sustainable urban regeneration.
Our greenery is just freshly planted and still needs some time to adapt – Nevertheless the modern & calm atmosphere of the visitor center is apparent.
