The town located on contaminated industrial land would be powered by an ecological engine that delivers recycled storm water and renewable energy to the project. The master plan exploits the area’s hydrological system to meet the water needs. Polluted storm water from an upstream urban catchment is directed through a pipe for bio-filtration. The filtered water is then stored in tanks for usage.

The urban ecological system fulfills 90% of the water needs for the entire project and also uses naturally filtered water stored in the tanks for non-potable reuse. The township would have three urban squares, a new park, community facilities, library, cinemas, commercial, residential and retail facilities.
