"Bechu & Associés has been selected as the winner of the international open competition for the masterplan of Hunnu City, a new satellite city planned south of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Announced in 2025, the winning proposal establishes a long-term urban framework for a 31,503-hectare site located near Chinggis Khaan International Airport, with phased development planned between 2025 and 2045. The project forms part of Mongolia's broader territorial strategy under the Ulaanbaatar 2040 Master Plan"
"The winning master plan by Bechu & Associés, developed in collaboration with IQP Italdesign, SOA Architecture, and an international team of consultants, proposes a regenerative and landscape-driven urban model shaped by the environmental and cultural conditions of the Mongolian steppe. Rather than applying a fixed or centralized urban form, the project is conceived as an adaptive system designed to grow over time."
Hunnu City is a planned 31,503-hectare satellite city south of Ulaanbaatar near Chinggis Khaan International Airport, with phased development from 2025 to 2045. The masterplan aligns with the Ulaanbaatar 2040 Master Plan and Mongolia's Vision 2050 to promote population decentralization, economic diversification, and long-term urban resilience. The design led by Bechu & Associés with international partners proposes a regenerative, landscape-driven urban model responsive to steppe environmental and cultural conditions. The plan organizes growth as interconnected urban cells inspired by the ger, the symbolic number nine, and natural systems such as water flows, wind, and solar exposure. Circular Amid Od hubs will integrate education, healthcare, cultural and sports facilities, mobility infrastructure, and climate-adaptive public spaces to anchor social life and enable flexible, incremental expansion.
