Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City to help realize China’s “dual carbon” goal
Tianjin is an ancient coastal city at least 600 years old located right next to Beijing in North China. It is a balanced blend of old and new, abundant in historical and cultural resources and a major economic center with national impact.
It has witnessed positive outcomes in its efforts to pursue high-quality development, and will continue boosting productivity and seeking new momentum to foster sustainable development.
Following the success of season one, Tianjin releases the second season of Tianjin Insight series, which presents a panoramic view of the port city’s evolution and achievements through the eyes of expats living there.
It was in 1992 when Teo Eng Cheong, now CEO of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment and Development Co., Ltd. came to China for the first time as a tourist，and after more than 20 years, he finally realized his aspiration at that time - to work in China.
“China and Singapore have a very significant bilateral relationship, and so the two countries came together to establish the Tianjin Eco-City…We also hope to attract Singapore companies as well as other international companies to Tianjin Eco-City.”
Since its construction, Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City has attached great importance to the combination of green and low-carbon economic development, highlighting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. In 2019, the Eco-City was included in the first batch of waste-free city construction pilots in China. It was a representative project of international cooperation.
With 14 years of development, the Eco-City has developed into a resource-saving, environmentally friendly, prosperous, and harmonious green city.
“In China there are ‘dual carbon’ goals to reach carbon peak by 2030 and to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. And we will see that being a very key feature of the Tianjin Eco-City in the years ahead. I hope that as China tries to achieve the ‘dual carbon’ goal we will play a significant role,” he said.
Over recent years, the Eco-City accelerated the construction of IoT facilities, data aggregation platforms and user-end platforms, and advanced intelligent industry development, attracting leading enterprises like E-commerce Live Streaming Base and iFLYTEK to settle there.
“And today we see smart technologies being applied in Tianjin Eco-City in many different areas. I believe in years ahead, we will see more and more smart devices, more and more smart technologies being applied in the city especially to achieve greater sustainability.”
In 2020, the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City was approved as a national all-for-one tourism demonstration area, and it was promoted as a model of scenery and city integration and smart technology innovation by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China.
“If you look at Tianjin Eco-City, there are various elements that lead to this being one of the most popular places in Tianjin for people to live in…We need to achieve this environment whereby people will be very comfortable living here, working here, and playing here,” he said.
“I hope that going forward, the Tianjin Eco-City will be a leading low-carbon city in China, and I hope that as China grows, Tianjin will play an even more significant role,” he added.

“第一次来到中国是1992年，当时我是读完书来中国旅游的。时隔20多年，我终于实现了自己当时的愿望——来中国工作。”中新天津生态城投资开发有限公司总裁张永昌真诚地说,“中国和新加坡，有着非常重要的双边关系，两国联手创建了天津生态城项目。我们希望吸引更多的新加坡公司及其它跨国企业，入驻中新天津生态城。”
绿色低碳之城
绿水青山就是金山银山。天津市第十二次党代会报告指出，扎实推进生态文明建设，坚定不移走生态优先、绿色发展之路，坚持降碳、减污、扩绿、增长协同推进，提升生态环境治理水平，促进经济社会发展全面绿色转型，加快建设美丽天津。
中新天津生态城自建设以来就重视将绿色低碳与经济发展相结合，体现人与自然和谐共生的理念。2008年，中新天津生态城正式开工建设。2013年，经国务院批复成为首个国家绿色发展示范区。2019年，作为国际合作代表，中新天津生态城入选全国首批无废城市建设试点。经过14年的开发，中新天津生态城已经发展成为一座资源节约、环境友好、经济蓬勃、社会和谐的绿色新城。
随着力争2030年实现碳达峰，2060年实现碳中和的“双碳”目标提出，天津市在全国率先制定碳达峰碳中和促进条例，稳妥有序推进“双碳”工作。中新天津生态城对“双碳”目标更加重视。张永昌表示，“双碳”目标也将是中新天津生态城未来几年内的发展重点，并希望能在中国实现“双碳”目标的过程中发挥重要作用。
智能科技之城
充分运用智能科技也成为中新天津生态城建设的亮点之一。近年来，中新天津生态城通过加速建设物联网设施、数据汇聚平台和用户端使用平台，大力发展智能产业，吸引电商直播基地、科大讯飞等六家头部企业落地。张永昌说：“我们能看到很多智能技术应用于天津生态城许多不同领域，在未来的几年里，我们还会看到越来越多的智能设备、智能技术在城市中应用，实现高质量可持续性发展，有效减少碳排放。”
2020年，中新天津生态城成功获批国家全域旅游示范区，文化和旅游部将中新天津生态城作为“景城一体、智慧科技创新”的典范向全国推广。中新天津生态城在智能科技上取得的成果折射出天津市在坚决贯彻新发展理念，增强自主创新能力上的高度重视。在高质量发展大都市的建设之路上，天津市现代化经济体系更加完善，科技创新能力显著增强，制造业比重稳步提升，战略性新兴产业成为发展主动力，综合实力迈上新台阶。中新天津生态城的发展正是这些进步最直观的写照。
初心凝聚力量，使命筑就担当。中新天津生态城将深入践行新发展理念，融入新发展格局，加快实施“生态城市升级版”和“智慧城市创新版”双轮驱动发展战略，努力打造“高质量发展、高品质生活”的生态之城、智慧之城、幸福之城。
宜居宜业之城
一市双城，比翼齐飞。中新天津生态城也为加快建设生态、智慧、港产城融合、宜居宜业的美丽“滨城”作出新的贡献。张永昌说：“中新天津生态城是天津最受欢迎的居住地之一。在天津生态城，你会发现这里的绿化通过生态谷这一城市绿道有机连通，你会看到这里水清河畅。你还会看到很多场地可供人们进行体育运动或者其他娱乐活动。我们需要这样的环境，人们在这里可以幸福地工作、学习和生活。”
除此之外，生态智慧社区为每户老年人配备了包括血压监测、防跌倒设备等智能终端，实时帮助老年人监测自己的体征，并且对发生的突发情况进行应急处理。同时，共享停车、高空抛物实时监控、城市交通信息发布也让居民的生活更加便捷。
中新天津生态城以打造全球可持续发展城市标杆为愿景，在绿色产业、生态环境、社区治理等方面一直在积极探索。“我希望在未来，中新天津生态城能成为中国领先的低碳城市典范。也希望在中国的经济发展过程中，天津能扮演更加重要的角色。”张永昌说。
