Just a few years ago, the Chinese government broke ground on Xiongan, a brand-new metropolis near Beijing designed to become a global benchmark for sustainable urban development. This year, the city hosted its third annual international competition dedicated to innovative energy technologies – cementing its role as a living laboratory for the future.

In this episode, we talk with Yunhan Liu, Technical Director at the Global Service Center of Collection of Future City in Xiongan, to explore the vision driving this ambitious project. We discuss the core strategies behind Xiongan’s sustainability goals, the pivotal role of renewable energy, why the city actively seeks global input through these competitions – and what the latest results reveal about the future of innovation.
