Xiamen New Airport is sited on Dadeng Island and the reclamation area in Xiang’an District. It is 25 km away from downtown Xiamen, 44 km from downtown Quanzhou, 72 km from downtown Zhangzhou, and 5 km from Jinmen Island. As an important regional integrated transportation hub and a major airport for exchanges with Taiwan, Xiamen New Airport will become an important engine to drive the regional development. With the launch of the new airport construction, the surrounding areas will also usher in a new era of development.
Host by Xiamen Airport Area Headquarters Office and Xiamen Municipal Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, the Competition aims to solicit future-oriented, open and innovative urban design concepts, jointly explore the development solutions for the new airport area, and establish the urban image of the new airport area as an “international gateway, aerotropolis and future city”.
