Where is the green of Shenzhen?
Vehicle stream, noise and floating dust are all the killers of life quality while green, flowers and clean air are the guarantee for life quality. As an “international garden city”, Shenzhen is filled with greenery, but the “peasants’ houses” can also be seen here in extremely high density. The ordinary property owners, who live in a city with so sharp contrast, may have deeper understanding of environment and life quality. In the noisy market, the developers notably highlight the environmental protection and green concept, such as green residence, water-loving residence, seaside residence and warm European town. To settle in a green homeland has also become the rational choice of the property owners.
