The workers in factories across China, and more acutely in Shenzhen, migrate from the far reaches of China and live lives isolated from the cities in which they labour. Few amenities are provided beyond utilitarian canteens and housing. This project seeks to establish a model of public amenities that will provide for the theatre of civic life made available to both factory worker and to local residents. Park systems, libraries, and a broad array of community centre programs seek to forge a new public from immigrant labour and existing urban populations in a setting shared by both and benefiting both.
