"Human development is sustainable through the principles of Harmony and Synergy: harmony between Man and Nature, and synergy among the social, economic and natural environments."

The iContinuum Group was founded in 2006 by Mr. James Lee to offer integrated solutions to the planning and development of China’s new towns and rural villages. Embracing the principles of harmony and synergy, and adopting the precepts of circular economy and systems design, iContinuum’s innovative model of sustainable development focuses on achieving dynamic ecological balance and triple-bottom-line results.
