A team of urban design students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design has won first prize in UD Shanghai?s 2015 International Student Urban Design Competition for the Shanghai Railway Station Area. Through the competition, the team reimagined the ?Shanghai Railway Station, one of the city?s four major railway stations and one of China?s major rail hubs, in the context of the next round of the Shanghai Master Plan (2020 to 2040). In particular, the competition asked teams to promote walkability and smoother traffic patterns,? where the station creates a topographical gap, ?and to consider thee-dimensional urban development around the station.?
