A planning and design workshop on the integrated development of the Shenzhen Railway Station and Luohu Port Area was held in Luohu on April 26.

Co-hosted by the Luohu district government and the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Urban Planning and Land Resources, the event attracted officials of several government departments, as well as six urban planning and design institutes from home and abroad.

The integrated development of the Shenzhen Railway Station and the Luohu Port Area is an important move that Shenzhen will take in the constructionof the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as Luohu is the first stop for Hong Kong citizens visiting Chinese mainland.

Shenzhen plans to construct the two areas to form a scenic landmark in the heart of the Greater Bay Area.

The six design agencies were selected from 29 candidates that applied as early as Aug. 2018 to take part in planning of the two areas. In December of last year, the Shenzhen city government founded a lead team to head up the planning and renovation of the two areas.

Zhao Penglin, former chief of rail transit of Shenzhen, was appointed as chief project consultant and co-presided over the workshop with Zhou Jin, chief architect of the Shenzhen Planning and Land Development Research Center. Participants of the workshop discussed the six agencies’ plans and proposals.

According to Song Yan, a member of the Standing Committee of Luohu District Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the workshop will help in forming a master plan for the integrated development of the two areas.
