Vision

The Tianjin Eco-city's vision is to be "A thriving city which is
socially harmonious, environmentally-friendly and resource-efficient – a
model for sustainable development". This vision is underpinned by the concepts of "Three Harmonies" and "Three Abilities".


"Three Harmonies" refers to:

• People living in harmony with other people, i.e. social harmony
• People living in harmony with economic activities, i.e. economic vibrancy
• People living in harmony with the environment, i.e. environmental sustainability

"Three Abilities” refers to the Eco-city being:

• Practicable - the technologies adopted in the Eco-city must be affordable and commercially viable
• Replicable - the principles and models of the Eco-city could be applied to other cities in China and even in other countries
• Scalable - the principles and models could be adapted for another project or development of a different scale
