The project proposes to bring the long derelict ‘American Dream Land’ amusement park near Shanghai into the 21st century. Where Wild West re-enactments took place 30 years ago, cattle will graze based on a rotational system to regenerate the soil of the site, sequestering carbon in the process. The regeneratively farmed pastures will offer a rich habitat for local wildlife and provide a stark contrast to the rapid urbanisation surrounding it. Visitors to the park can immerse themselves in a carefully managed green oasis whilst learning about regenerative farming techniques.
