Join the Women's Leadership Initiative (WLI) for an exclusive study tour of the Dasha River ecological restoration project in Shenzhen, China, in collaboration with AECOM. This successful project has transformed a previously polluted river into a beautiful urban ecological corridor, offering key insights into sustainable infrastructure and waterfront revitalization. During the tour, you will:

• Learn how the Dasha River project has become a new image and point of pride for Shenzhen's Nanshan District, reconnecting the city with its natural waterways.

• Explore how the ecological restoration has created diverse habitats and improved the river's biodiversity, demonstrating the integration of "blue and green" infrastructure into an attractive river park.

• Discover best practices in urban waterfront redevelopment, including methods for remediating contaminated waters, designing pedestrian-friendly promenades, and incorporating renewable energy and stormwater management.

• Network with fellow ULI members and hear from the project's designers and planners about the challenges and successes of this transformative initiative.

Following the tour, join in a dynamic 2-part discussion at The Executive Centre’s China Resources Tower centre, where AECOM will share more about the vision behind the innovative design for this project and its future impact on the GBA region, the role that female leadership played in bringing this project to fruition, and the importance of women leadership in the GBA region.
