As an unavoidable consequence of the global urbanization, cities became a hostile environment for most of its inhabitants.

This project is adapted for 2009 SZHK biennale from an urban research project titled Red Line Park. It is NOT to be viewed as articulated constructs or designer objects of some sorts, but rather a built sample of a grass root urban initiative which encourages residents of gated communities to participate in the process of gradually turning walled communities into open communities and bringing parks to everyone’s door steps.
