Zhu Rongyuan, the Professor-level Senior Urban Planner and Former Deputy Chief Planner of China Urban Planning and Design Institute
Zhu Rongyuan held the opinions that Baishizhou was located at the intersection of Shennan Avenue and Dasha River. Shennan Avenue was the backbone of Shenzhen’s modern city, and the left and right banks of Dasha River respectively represented Shenzhen’s sensibility and rationality. The brand new Baishizhou was not only a part of the new story of Shennan Avenue, but also a new landmark of Dasha River.
Design Director of KPF: Mustafa Chehabedine
The keyword shared by Mustafa Chehabedine is localization, namely how to perform locally in the design trend of global metropolis. Ultimately, Baishizhou will become a new urban center, a pinnacle of overall planning, a destination, an iconic endpoint, and a new urban center of Shenzhen as a whole.

“Shenzhen Life” is Different from Now on – the Future Declaration of “Shenzhen-Style Life”
The brand new Baishizhou has a super city complex form of the world’s first-tier metropolises, and even the core life attitude that represents the future of Shenzhen. In LVGEM’s view, the brand new Baishizhou represents the boundary between the past and the future of Shenzhen, and is shaping a “Shenzhen-style life” in the future.
The brand new Baishizhou is committed to creating a different future for the life in Shenzhen. In the way of seven-layor three-dimensional city + Shenzhen super loop system + full-scene smart city, it constructs a seven-layer three-dimensional shared city from underground to above, realizing the “addition of Shenzhen life”.
In terms of building an intimate interactive relationship between the people and city, the brand new Baishizhou establishes a super sharing system in the urban area under the concept of “enjoying Shenzhen life”. Besides, it has 400,000 square metres of booming commercial areas, which allow people to have more choices in life.
Conceptual Design of Baishizhou commercial
In terms of arts and humanities, the brand new Baishizhou shows a continuous urban operation to realise the “tone of Shenzhen life”. It will be a first-ever public art district in Shenzhen, being dedicated to realise that everything in sight is art.
The Baishizhou Museum of Manufacturing and Immigration, a Gift to the City of Dreams

The first phase will focus on art, and a joint exhibition of top international artists will be held simultaneously during the product launch. At the same time, the “Growth of an Artistic City” project is in preparation to create a public artwork for the “Birthday of Shenzhen” on 26 August as a gift.

In addition, Shenzhen’s first immigration museum will also launch Baishizhou, benchmarking against Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York. Under the theme of immigrant culture in Shenzhen and Baishizhou, it promotes the original places of urban cultural events and urban public art.
LVGEM believes that the renewal of Baishizhou changes the original ecology status of Baishizhou, but left the special significance of Baishizhou to the people of Shenzhen unchanged, expecting it to be the spiritual totem of Shenzhen all the time, and the dream theatre accommodating the life of Shenzhen people. Therefore, the brand new Baishizhou will definitely become a collection of Shenzhen people’s imagination about the future life, and create a lifestyle that belongs to Shenzhen.
A Boundless City of 5 Million Square Metres – Jing Ting is Expected to be Launched at the End of August
In the past, Baishizhou was a representative urban village in Shenzhen, but now it is surrounded by the essence of the city’s development over the past 40 years.
On the “Golden Intersection” of Shenzhen Bay and Dasha River, LVGEM invited about 50 top design teams from all over the world to create a brand new Baishizhou with a view to treating this “treasure land” that has gathered the essence of 40 years of development in Shenzhen in an appropriate way.
The brand new Baishizhou in the future is a boundless city of about 5 million square metres, integrating flagship commercial clusters, office towers, starred hotels, high-end residential housing, large-scale public supporting facilities and other business forms. According to the project plan, there are more than 400,000 square metres of commercial areas, with a central green axis of about 1.1 kilometres linking all types of business forms from south to north. There are also 4 kindergartens, 3 nine-year schools, and about 90,000 square metres of supporting facilities such as social and health facilities as well as cultural and sports facilities to meet the needs of life in various aspects.
It is much anticipated that the product of LVGEM Baishizhou – Jingting is to be launched at the end of August, which consists of residential housing with gross floor areas ranging from 110-187 square metres. With a strong and pure living atmosphere, Jingting is the first to enjoy full-dimensional supporting facilities of Baishizhou, the boundless city that covers an area of 5 million square metres, and opens up the future life of Baishizhou with high standards.
