High clustering, control, hinging and convenience are the general features of the central urban areas of cosmopolis. However, the embodiment of these features still relies on space platform.
Our development idea is to deeply develop the carrier space of high-end industries and enhance concentrated layout, intensive land use and clustered industries. A lot of major projects are under construction here in Xiacheng District such as Hangzhou Xintiandi, Kerry Center, underground space exploitation of Wulin Square, GDA Plaza, Nongdu Agricultural Products Circulation Industry Park, the center of Hangzhou, Baijingfang comprehensive reconstruction. These projects all provide better platforms for the introduction of internationalized industries.
Meanwhile, enhancing the intelligentized and high-end oriented transformation of old buildings can not only reserve spatial textures and patterns, but also promote connotational function and environmental quality. Besides, it can magnify the current advantages of the building economy of Xiacheng District to the most and increase the potentials and opportunities of introducing international high-end industries.
