CHHE 2nd Public Realm Workshop
In July 2021, CHHE (Committee of High-Rise Habitat Environments Assc) held their second Public Realm workshop within PCLandscape Office in Shanghai Xuhui District. The workshop was a discussion, debate, and sharing of the issues and challenges of China's Public Realm Projects that were sub-divided into Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large categories representing the different scales of Landscape Architecture projects from Commercial Plazas to Green Infrastructure. Whereas the first workshop held in April 2021 in MYP Office in Yangpu was a discussion about Public Realms in Urban Cores, Centers, and Peripheries of only some of the most prominent China design firms, the second workshop attempted to widen the scope of discussion to include stakeholders, public engagement, and academic research.
