Shenzhen built an architectural icon and then filled it with trash

The Korea Herald reports on the Longgang Energy Ecological Park in Shenzhen, China, which serves as both a garbage incinerator and an artistic space. Designed by Scandinavian architects inspired by local Hakka roundhouses, the facility is highlighted in a Yale University Press architecture survey. While incinerators are generally viewed negatively due to pollution concerns, Shenzhen aims to rebrand its waste management system by combining industrial function with cultural attractions like a digital art exhibit. Officials emphasize strict emission controls and environmental standards, positioning the park as a model for sustainable urban development. The facility reflects broader efforts by Shenzhen to reduce landfill use and promote eco-friendly policies.
