In recent years, Sydney, Australia, has launched its largest urban development project to date, called “Central Park.” It has created a self-sufficient city within the city in the downtown area. This plan is more than just a park—it combines on a large scale residential buildings, office towers, shopping malls, and other architectural functions. The aim is to allow more people to work, stay, or simply relax in the park. The most eye-catching feature of this plan is the world’s tallest and suspended “Floating Garden,” which not only greens the living environment but also features a self-sustaining system for water and electricity, giving it both eco-friendly and energy-saving capabilities.

The “Central Park” development was designed by a Japanese and Singaporean architectural team, modeled after the environmental layout of New York’s Central Park. Eleven high-rise buildings have been constructed around the park, designated for residential use, office towers, and shopping malls. Through a natural gas-powered, thermal energy power plant and special water collection equipment, the community achieves self-sufficiency in water and electricity.
