Ⅰ、Project Background

Located north of the central Shenzhen, west of Longgang, east of Baoan, Nanshan and Guangming, north of Futian and south of Dongguan, Longhua District includes four local council offices, Minzhi, Longhua, Guanlan and Dalang，with a total area 175.58 square kilometers.

Located in the central district area, Guanlan River flows from south to north via Minzhi, Longhua, Dalang and Guanlan, as the mother river of Longhua District. However, the rapid economic growth and increase of the population have polluted the river. And the restoration of the river and the eco environment has become the major issue.

The establishment of Longhua district, along with the new strategic planning system, has proposed a vision towards “TWO DISTRICTS, ONE CITY” and “NINE AREAS WITH ONE AXIS”.

As a response to the adjustment of the Longhua district administration system, integration of the industrial functions and establishment of the new development direction, an international design competition is jointly organized by the Longhua District Administrative Committee. The competition is to develop a future for Guanlan riverfront, with an international vision and innovative ideas, which will lead a transformation of the urban functions and improvement of the urban space.
