After an introduction by the Swedish Consul General in Shanghai in late 2009 Tengbom Stockholm won a commission to design 2.4 square kilometers out of a total 150 square kilometers for Taihu New Town in Wuxi City as a flagship and exemplar Eco-City. The site will have a strong Chinese-Swedish theme and be named "The Wuxi Sino-Swedish Eco-City". Concurrently a working group was set up to identify collaborative projects and companies to get involved between the Wuxi and Swedish Governments, especially clean-tech solutions to be used within the new project. The working group comprised officials from Wuxi New City Authority, Swedish Trade Department, and The City of Södertälje Authority; Södertälje is a twin City to Wuxi.

The project became the winning entry 2011 in AR/MIPIM Future Projects Award, Big Urban Masterplan.
