ARNHEM, The Netherlands, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consulting, design, engineering and management services company, today announced that its subsidiary RTKL, has recently won first place in the Dongli Lake Competition in China. The competition was joint-sponsored by the Tianjin City Planning Bureau and Tianjin Dongli District Government, and challenged four top global design firms to develop a master plan for the 85 square kilometer Dongli Lake site.

"Our scheme would enhance the existing spaces in old town Tianjin through strategic infill, landmarking and wayfinding, and also freshly imagine a new town of Lingang. The interplay of these districts would define and reinforce the overall ecological waterfront experience, and unlock the true value of Dongli Lake." RTKL impressed competition officials by showing how the municipality could capitalize on natural strengths to better serve the burgeoning business, tourism, and civic needs of greater Tianjin and neighbouring Beijing. The master plan calls for an international conference center and summit house, an executive training center, a healthcare-focused resort and a variety of recreational facilities. "Wins like this exemplify our leading position in large-scale urban planning and the creation of sustainable, multi-use developments," said Harrie Noy, CEO of ARCADIS. "This win also strengthens our position in Asia, an important growth market for ARCADIS." Competition officials also praised RTKL's approach to sustainability. The master plan emphasizes transit-oriented development, features a riverfront eco-focused living district, and takes advantage of Tianjin's geothermal resources to facilitate specialty spa and resort experiences of unparalleled quality. In addition, the plan organizes all public functions along a waterfront "eco tour," which will prominently celebrate civic activities and festivals along the water's edge throughout the year. ARCADIS is an international company providing consultancy, design and engineering and management services in infrastructure, environment and buildings, to enhance mobility, sustainability and quality of life. ARCADIS develops, designs, implements, maintains and operates projects for companies and governments.
