Description
- The project is a transit-oriented development centered around a high-speed rail link, designed as a walkable, sustainable smart city.
- To enhance connections with the surrounding areas, skybridges for slow autonomous vehicles and cycling paths have been introduced, prioritizing pedestrian movement while integrating modern transport technology.
- The area is planned as a forested gateway into Shenzhen, with a landscape design that complements the natural surroundings in and around the site.
- A green spine crosses the site from East to West, intersecting with the North-South high-speed railway station.
- The plan is future-ready, anticipating upcoming innovations in transport, such as autonomous vehicles, while ensuring that wayfinding and minimum walking distances prioritize human mobility.
- Retail spaces are integrated atop the transit stations, with stepped green terraces offering views of the surrounding forests and the central green spine.
- Four office towers are strategically located at the cardinal points of the site, symbolizing gateways seen in traditional Chinese cities.
- At the ground level, these towers provide access to the transport hub, integrating the office spaces with the high-speed railway station.
- The project incorporates the principles of Sponge City, promoting the use of natural features like landscaping and bio-retention to manage urban drainage sustainably, reducing flood risks.
