Pazhou and Yuancun Urban Plan Finalized
Update: 2010-06-18     Source: 本网

The urban plan for Pazhou and Yuancun has been finalized after numerous revisions over the past three years. According to the newly released plan, the Pazhou and Yuanchun areas will be divided into three functional zones.

The Pazhou area will become an international center for trade and commerce and a major venue for conventions and exhibitions. It will also contain R&D facilities, office buildings, hotels, catering, leisure, cultural and tourism facilities, and residential blocks.

The Yuancun area will be turned into a regional financial center and serve as an extension of the Central Business District of Zhujiang New Town. It will be primarily oriented towards the modern service and financial service industries, and be home to the headquarters of a number of multinational companies. Its major functions will include commercial banking, creative culture, fashion, and leisure.

Cultural heritage and industrial legacy in entire area will tapped into build a cultural creative center. The ancient Huangpu port will be renewed and placed under protection. Pre-modern industrial workshops in this area will be converted to cultural, creative cultural, commercial, and tourism facilities.

The urban plan will cover a total area of approximately 23.6 square kilometers stretching to the eastern tip of Panzhou Island and bounded by Guangzhou Avenue on the west, Huangpu Creek on the south, and Huangpu Venue on the north, including Zhujiang New Town, Pazhou Island, and south Yuancun.

The plan is aimed at building the Panzhou and Yuancun areas into a showcase eco-zone with crisscrossing streams and lush foliage. On the strength of the Pearl River and the numerous creeks, eight urban parks will be built to bring the city's green coverage rate to 45.1% and per capita public green space to 12.7 square meters, thereby ensuring that a green park is within 500 meters of any resident.
