In collaboration with landscape architects Grant Associates, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has won the International Urban Design Ideas Competition for the Financial District and Marina District of the Port City Colombo, Sri Lanka. The design for the new Port City will be an addition to the existing Colombo Central Business District (CBD) and will span to 269 hectares.
