Huangbaiyu (simplified Chinese: 黄柏峪村; traditional Chinese: 黃柏峪村; pinyin: Huángbǎiyù Cūn) is a model sustainable village in Benxi, Liaoning, China.
[1] Huangbaiyu was conceived by William McDonough and Partners in conjunction with Tongji University in Shanghai, the Benxi Design Institute, and China-U.S. Center for Sustainable Development.
The town is being built in stages and is to be model of sustainable development using principles laid out by McDonough.
In April 2006, the project was encountering some difficulties: some housing was completed, but no residents had moved in.
[3] The cost of each individual dwelling is estimated to be around 28,000 yuan (A$4,600).
