Typical planning heritages and facility heritages in SBH. A Yueyang Petrochemical Plant is a large-scale joint venture designed, equipped and installed by New China itself, which was founded at the end of 1969. It is not only a plant, but also a small city with more than 15,000 employees. With industrial production at the center, many buildings and facilities, such as housing and living services, have been extended to form a large city-like pattern [37]. B Qinyong Village in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, is a model village for the Maoist era’s “learn from Tachai in agriculture” movement. Between 1974 and 1976, the villagers collectively built this brand-new village at the foot of a mountain. Its collective production and construction became a model for Zhejiang province and the whole country. C Three Gorges Water Hub Project, built in 1994, is a large-scale water conservancy project integrating flood control, power generation, navigation and water resource utilization. It consists of a dam, power generation buildings, and navigation building, and is one of the largest water conservancy hub structures in the world. It took twelve years to build and solved the problems of flooding and energy shortage in the Yangtze River [45]. D Miyun Reservoir was built in 1958 and is the largest reservoir in northern China. It took two years to complete the construction by gathering the efforts of more than 200,000 people and solved the water problem of the capital city of Beijing [46].
