Country Garden Forest City recently won the Global Model of Green Building Industrial Park award at the 2017 Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Award (SCAHSA) ceremony for its industrial park, which serves the construction industry.

The award was presented at a ceremony in New York, USA on Oct.31.

“This is the second year in a row that Forest City has garnered the honor,” said Country Garden in a press release in New York on Nov.16.

The SCAHSA award was established by the Global Forum on Human Settlements (GFHS), a non-profit organization, with Special Consultative Status within the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

GFHS is a trend setter for urban construction everywhere that respects sustainable development, the press release said.

Forest City, China’s Wuyi County and Indonesia’s Surabaya City were among the winning projects submitted from 23 countries and regions worldwide.

Forest City’s industrial park, with a gross floor area spanning some 1.6 million square meters, is located in the northwest section of Forest City, adjacent to the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) and approximately 10 km from Forest City’s Island One.

The park is on track to evolve into a leading comprehensive and modern manufacturing facility for construction products, reaching across Asia and even globally by integrating the entire industry chain, including construction engineering, PC prefabrication, logistics and transportation, parts processing, assembly and construction as well as science-based research and development.
