The Nanhai Land Art Festival in Guangdong Province has once again been nominated as a humanistic city in Sanlian!
Recently, the Nanhai Land Art Festival in Guangdong Province was once again selected for the list of humanistic cities in Sanlian, joining 187 projects across the country as a new aspiration for urban humanistic development! In this selection, the Guangdong Nanhai Land Art Festival was shortlisted for the "Eco-friendly Award". This award aims to recognize large-scale construction activities that have inspiring significance for residents' common life, including community space creation, community environmental governance, and Du Qun operation and other community practices.
The third Sanlian Humanistic City Award, with the theme of "Story Theater", hopes to find new answers. Starting from May this year, 64 representatives from fields such as architecture, design, art and media gathered to nominate for five sub-awards including the Public Space Award, the Architectural Contribution Award, the Community Building Award, the Eco-friendly Award and the Urban Innovation Award. The Beijing Dongfang Notary Office was responsible for the statistics and review of the ballots, and a total of 187 valid nominated projects were counted.
Sustainability is the barometer of future cities, and more and more organizations and brands are putting it into practice in various forms. As one of them, the Guangdong Nanhai Land Art Festival has always been held on site since its preparation. Now, it has entered its fourth year of continuous local growth.
Flood irrigation style urban construction is no longer the mainstream. A new era of refinement and micro-updating is approaching. This year's nominated projects have also undergone a certain shift - they are more focused on micro-updates rather than large-scale construction. It pays more attention to how people and space can establish a continuous connection rather than the "check-in" or "disposable" experience. The five sub-awards seek solutions to humanistic cities from five dimensions: people and places, people and architecture, people and communities, people and nature, and people and urban vitality. The ideal space is never merely a roof that shelters from wind and rain, nor is it merely a facade that showcases design. From physical containers to containers of life and stages of stories, cities have never existed in isolation. Every person walking within them is the protagonist who interprets the stories of the city.

Looking back on 2023
The Second Sanlian Humanistic City Award
The first Guangdong Nanhai Land Art Festival won the "Urban Innovation Award"
In the selection of the second Sanlian Humanistic City Award in 2023, the first Guangdong Nanhai Land Art Festival won the "Urban Innovation Award". Sanlian Humanistic City is a content brand established by Sanlian Life Media in 2020. Starting from the first Humanistic City Award, a biennial model was established, with the Humanistic City Award held in odd-numbered years and the Humanistic City Season in even-numbered years. It is hoped that at the juncture when China's urbanization is undergoing a qualitative transformation from quantitative change, public enlightenment can be promoted, public participation can be stimulated, and the social value and humanistic care of future Chinese cities can be enhanced.
△At the awarding ceremony of the Humanistic City Award, almost all the representative figures and elite teams in the field of urban innovation across the country were gathered.
The Sanlian Humanistic City Award can be said to be the most academic, authoritative and valuable humanistic award in China at present, and is widely recognized by the national cultural, artistic and design circles. This award hopes to prompt everyone to think together: What kind of city is a "good" city? What kind of public Spaces does our city need? What kind of public life is it that we look forward to? Each selected project of the Sanlian Humanistic City Award is attempting to answer these questions.
