Does anyone know anything about this? I saw it mentioned in the Kunming Wikipedia article, but the reference link leads to a useless website run by the parent company Integer.

Here's the clip from the article:
Eco-town

The Kunming Project is located on a naturally vegetated site adjacent to the International Horticultural Expo, on the north-eastern fringes of Kunming City. The project comprises four prototype houses and a 2,000 m² Visitor Centre on a five hectare site. In 2006 the project was completed and is the first "intelligent & green" project in mainland China. Expo INTEGER Kunming is the first eco-town in southern China, with an emphasis on sustainable lifestyle, environmental protection and intelligent technology. The project aims to provide a focal point for the improvement of housing standards and building technology in the context of China. It will develop a sustainable housing and lifestyle model appropriate for the urbanization of the western region in China.

Please give me the website address, or give me a phone number of them, I will try to be of some help to find it for you. My email address: lesliehorizon@hotmail.com

The Kunming Expo Eco town is an apartment complex next to the Kunming Expo garden. They are town houses or single houses. I live in this complex and the environment is quite good, quiet and fresh air. They just launched a new complex for sale, which is located on the other side of the Expo garden.

Thanks Mike. It's nice to have an insider's view. How "green" is it really? It's easy to call something an eco-town, but I'd like to know what sort of features (active/passive solar, grey water recycling, recycled building materials, etc.) it has that would be green, rather than greenwashing.

I am interested in this place as well. I attempted to visit it the other day. It seems like the Integer project and the Eco-town were developed by two different firms, but I'm not sure. Anyone know the difference? Is there a visitor centre or a way to tour a model home?
