Project

"Xin'an" is more like the "inner city" in urban sociology. It is ordinary and a bit old-fashioned, with a large number of pleasantly scaled streets and alleys, mixed and fascinating urban patches, and low-cost spaces for young people to settle down. The location characteristics of the central area and the exuberant urban vitality, Chuangye Road and Bao'an central district build a spatial relationship of "front city and back alley", which is easy to remind people of Wall Street and New York Silicon Alley, the City of London and Shoreditch area. The agglomeration of people and innovative elements brings huge imagination space to the Chuangye road. We propose the concept of "The Street for Gathering", a diverse and evolvable spatial system. We will sort out and upgrade the beautiful streets network, introduce a new iconic super path, create gathering fields for interactions, and create charming systems to guide the urban renewal while maintaining diversity and complexity.
