China’s emphasis on green and sustainable development offers a fertile ground for businesses in sustainable urban development. Integral to this are initiatives such as China’s Five-Year Plan, the Urban Renewal Action Plan (2023-2025), and local programs for green development and urban planning. These initiatives set forth ambitious goals for achieving ultra-low energy consumption in construction and have laid the groundwork for the adoption of green transportation projects. European SMEs, with their established practices in eco-friendly construction and sustainable transportation, are well-positioned to make a significant impact in China’s growing green and sustainable urban development sector and to export their expertise and sustainable solutions.
