What will Shenzhen look like in the future? What kind of life should Shenzhen people live in the future?

"We can give full play to our imagination. In the future, perhaps half of Shenzhen citizens will live in houses with full sea view, and half of Shenzhen people will spend weekends on the sea and enjoy the air and sea water by the sea. In the future, Shenzhen's opera house, art museum and office will be built on the sea. At that time, Shenzhen will have the world's largest marine cruise terminal, Shenzhen will also introduce water into the city, and the river will become the landscape belt of Shenzhen In the future, we should have a 'maritime Shenzhen'. "

"Maritime Shenzhen" - this is a new concept put forward by Chen Keshi, member of the population, resources and Environment Committee of the municipal CPPCC and the municipal CPPCC, vice president of the school of urban planning and design of Peking University and director of the China Urban Research Center of Peking University. During the exclusive interview with reporters, Professor Chen Keshi said that Shenzhen could take "four bays and one river - Shenzhen to build a new spatial pattern of a world-class coastal city in the future" as the core goal of international urban construction.

Shenzhen's future lies at sea

"Shenzhen people are full of longing for the sea. Even if there is a traffic jam for five hours, they have to go to Dameisha to have a look at the blue sea. It is difficult to get close to the sea, which is the confusion of Shenzhen people." Chen Keshi said.

"However, at present, Shenzhen's urban development planning is still a 'inland city' planning scheme, which does not put forward the vision for the future development of Shenzhen's coastal city from the perspective of coastal resources. However, for a city with a shortage of resources, Shenzhen cannot be compared with many inland cities if it is only a land city. Therefore, it is necessary to change the thinking of Shenzhen's future strategic development and create a new city Urban spatial pattern. "

Chen Keshi said that when thinking about the development of Shenzhen in the next 35 years, we noticed that Shenzhen has very strong economic strength and good industrial development. However, from the perspective of spatial strategy and spatial pattern, coastal resources are the largest resources in Shenzhen. If we take advantage of the opportunity of developing the Bay Area economy, make use of the economic characteristics of the bay area, increase the urban value, and plan to build Shenzhen into a world-class coastal city to build a maritime Shenzhen, We can make Shenzhen stand out in the future development and become the most competitive, charming and happy city in the future.

Chen Keshi believes that Shenzhen should seize the opportunity of the economic take-off of the Pearl River Estuary Bay area and become the locomotive of the bay area economy. "The next 3-5 years is the best time to seize this' turning point '."

Bid farewell to inland thinking and go to the sea

"Four bays and one river", namely Qianwan Bay, Shenzhen Bay, Dapeng Bay, Daya Bay and Shenzhen River, is the idea put forward by planning designer Chen Keshi for the future planning and development of Shenzhen after careful consideration after living in Shenzhen for more than ten years.

Chen Keshi believes that waterfront space is an important element of people's impression of the city, an important part of the overall form of the city, the outline of the city and the business card of the city. The urban design of waterfront system is the transformation of urban environment and the renewal of urban image. By creating a good ecological environment, a city can develop sustainably. In urban design, the successful urban design of waterfront can not only shape a beautiful city image, but also make residents and tourists feel the charm of the city. Many prosperous areas have waterfront areas, such as New York and Boston in the United States, Marseille and nice in France, Sydney and the gold coast in Australia.

"Shenzhen is a large marine city with 260 kilometers of coastline and 1145 square kilometers of sea area. It is the only mega city in China with the potential to become a world-class coastal city. It has the conditions to transform the four Bay areas of Shenzhen by land reclamation and develop the economy of the four Bay areas of Finance, commerce, leisure and sports. Therefore, planning the spatial layout of" four bays and one river "and building" four bays and one river "is the foundation Shenzhen is a breakthrough for coastal cities. "

"The future urban pattern of Shenzhen should face the sea and develop to the south." Chen Keshi suggested that the municipal Party committee and the municipal government can consider the overall development idea of Shenzhen in the next 35 years from a strategic perspective, change from an inland city to a coastal city, integrate Shenzhen's coastline to think about the future of Shenzhen, make the "maritime city" the biggest competitiveness and charm of Shenzhen, and make the marine culture the biggest feature of Shenzhen culture.

Planning "four bays and one river" to build the spatial pattern of coastal cities

——Qianhai Bay, the future "Manhattan" of Shenzhen.

"When it comes to the front Bay, I can easily think of New York and Manhattan in New York." Chen Keshi said that Manhattan is an island in the center of New York City. Although it is the smallest of the five districts of New York City, it has gathered the United Nations headquarters, Broadway, Wall Street, the Empire State Building and Central Park... Making it an economic, financial, cultural, trade and Convention Center in New York and even the whole United States.

Qianhai has obvious location advantages. Its spatial location conditions determine that Qianhai has become a vital node in the South China Bay economic belt. At the same time, Shenzhen Hong Kong cooperation has become the most distinctive theme of Qianhai's development, which also gives Qianhai an unparalleled advantage. At present, Qianhai has the conditions for large-scale development and opening up. Shenzhen is expected to work with domestic and foreign investors to focus on developing high-end service industry, developing headquarters economy, building a regional center and forming the "Manhattan" of the Greater Pearl River Delta in the future.

"At present, Qianhai is only equivalent to a district on the left bank of Manhattan." Chen Keshi said, "everyone has high expectations for Qianhai, but from the perspective of a planner, the current spatial layout of Qianhai will form a bottle mouth in terms of form. Therefore, I dare to make some assumptions, reclamation 30 ~ 40 square kilometers in the west of Qianhai, and use large and small shovel Islands to make the total area of Qianhai equal to half of Manhattan and establish 'maritime Manhattan'. Build Qianhai bay into Manhattan in Shenzhen."

——Shenzhen Bay will become the "Victoria Harbor" of Shenzhen.

To build Shenzhen Bay into Shenzhen's "Victoria Harbor" is an idea put forward by Chen Keshi. He said that for more than 100 years, the role of Victoria port has far exceeded that of an ordinary port. It has always influenced Hong Kong's history and culture and led the development of Hong Kong's economy and tourism. It is one of the keys for Hong Kong to become an international metropolis.

"The current development of Shenzhen Bay does not show its advantages in connecting Hong Kong and Shenzhen." Chen Keshi suggested that "as a platform for communication between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Shenzhen Bay should be established into a high-density coastal urban area. Through the joint development of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Shenzhen Bay will be built into a second 'Victoria port', making Shenzhen Bay a vibrant Bay area and a gathering place of culture."

——Dapeng Bay will be the "Gold Coast" of Shenzhen.

When it comes to Mirs Bay, Chen Keshi makes an analogy with Australia's Gold Coast. He introduced that Australia's Gold Coast stretches 42 kilometers and is a resort composed of dozens of beautiful beaches. With bright sunshine and clear water and white sand, there are not only attractive water activities, but also many interesting theme parks, attracting tourists from all over the world. As a well-developed scenic spot, the gold coast has complete tourism facilities such as food, accommodation, transportation, tourism, shopping and entertainment, which can meet the different needs of all kinds of tourists.

"I went to the top of OCT in the East a few days ago and looked at Dapeng Bay. I think this is the most valuable Bay Area in the future. It must be higher than Hawaii and other places in the United States." Chen Keshi believes that if Dapeng Bay is developed, in terms of water quality and mountain and sea resources, it should become the most attractive area in Shenzhen and a treasure land with the most abundant resources. Now is a good time for construction.

——Daya Bay can become the "Miami" of Shenzhen.

Chen Keshi believes that, in contrast, Daya Bay shows the comprehensive advantages of China's coastal areas and has excellent conditions to develop into a super large-scale economy and a regional economic center. The tourism resources here are unique. It has a coastline of 51 kilometers, more than 10 seashore beaches, islands and reefs. The natural form and natural ecology of the sea area are well preserved, and the sea water pollution is light. He suggested that Daya Bay could be built into a valley, a city and an island - a biological Valley, a city of design and an international leisure and vacation island in Shenzhen, highlighting the coastal characteristics, improving urban functions, focusing on the development of the tertiary industry, especially the construction of the tourism plate of the gold coast area and building a leisure and vacation resort. "After development, Daya Bay can be like Miami in the United States, with endless sunshine and beaches, full of food, music and sports."

——Shenzhen River can be developed jointly by Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

The 37 km long Shenzhen River is the mother river of Shenzhen and the boundary river between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Chen Keshi suggested that Shenzhen Hong Kong cooperation could be considered to jointly develop the Shenzhen River, connect the Shenzhen River from Shenzhen Bay to Yantian, and let the Shenzhen River form a water channel as an inland river.

Every charming city has a romantic inland river. For example, the Seine River in Paris, the Marina Bay and Singapore River in Singapore and the Mekong River in Bangkok highlight the hydrophilic characteristics of the city and the advantages of the urban environment. Many cities have been revived through the construction of waterfront areas in the past few decades. Urban development, especially economic development, provides a good opportunity for waterfront development, which contains huge economic power.

Chen Keshi said that if Shenzhen and Hong Kong can jointly develop the Shenzhen River, they can integrate ecological effects, aesthetic effects and social effects into the design of their urban waterfront space system, and focus on the construction of service industry and tourism, so as to make it the most distinctive landscape area and public space area of a City, reflecting the intersection and integration of man and nature, and then let the Shenzhen River and the Sea jointly build the urban culture of Shenzhen.

Facing the sea and blooming flowers in spring -- creating marine culture for Shenzhen

Chen Keshi said that if the idea of "four bays and one river" can be realized, it will not only change the characteristics and style of Shenzhen, a coastal city, but also fundamentally change the lifestyle of Shenzhen people and enhance the vitality of the whole city. Citizens living in Shenzhen will have a world-class lifestyle in coastal cities. All kinds of beaches, surfing, yachts and diving, all kinds of beach music seasons, surfing carnivals and sailing competitions are close at hand. They will become a part of Shenzhen People's life and make the ocean the charm of Shenzhen life.

Chen Keshi said that from the perspective of urban research, the development of a city should achieve win-win results at the three levels of economy, environment and culture. Among them, culture is the biggest attraction and the final competitiveness. If the image of Shenzhen coastal city is established in an all-round way, Shenzhen will have the most marine urban culture in China.

Chen Keshi believes that marine culture represents the spirit of the times that never fear and never stop. It is broad-minded and inclusive. It is not conservative and innovative. After more than 30 years of development, Shenzhen should be said to have valuable resources for the development of marine culture. For a typical coastal open city like Shenzhen, how to realize cultural concept innovation, how to comprehensively utilize the sea, create its own cultural brand and cultural development model, and finally form Shenzhen's culture will fundamentally affect the future development direction of Shenzhen.
