As late autumn settles over North China, the region is experiencing a cool breeze, contrasting sharply with the bustling construction taking place in the Xiong’an New Area. The launch zone has become the central battlefield for high-standard construction and high-quality development.
At the site of the Zhonglvli project in the northwest area, more than 50 cranes tower over nearly 4,000 builders who are diligently progressing with the project. Together, they witness the grand scene of Xiong’an New Area’s vigorous development. In the future, this site will offer new smart city environments for the relocated enterprises from Beijing, representing a place that is both “extraordinary and highly sought after.”
Currently, the focus in Xiong’an New Area has shifted towards achieving high-quality construction alongside elevated management and sustainable development for the relocated industries and their employees. Ensuring that these enterprises and their workers can “arrive, settle, and thrive” is crucial for enhancing the area’s capacity for self-development and facilitating the relocation of non-capital functions.
From the outset, the planning of Xiong’an New Area has emphasized the principle of “integrated development of industry and city, balanced living and working,” which includes creating community centers that are accessible within a 15-minute radius, neighborhood centers within a 10-minute walk, and local amenities just 5 minutes away. This innovative urban planning approach marks an important chapter in global urban construction history and is a significant factor in attracting relocated workers from Beijing.
According to a spokesperson from China Green Development Xiong’an Company, the Zhonglvli project is designed to connect with the service needs of industries within a 15-minute living radius, offering tailored housing rental solutions and planning for green and smart residential projects for relocated employees. This model of “comprehensive area development combined with precise industry support” aims to meet the needs of enterprises while enhancing the well-being and satisfaction of workers, thereby facilitating their arrival and settlement.
The people-centered approach is a crucial principle guiding the construction of the Xiong’an New Area. The design of the launch zone includes a full range of community facilities such as commercial centers, childcare services, kindergartens, shared libraries, cultural activity centers, assisted living stations, community clinics, and public transportation hubs.
As a comprehensive community adjacent to the three educational institutions supported by Beijing, families residing in the Zhonglvli project can watch their children walk into school without ever having to leave home. Furthermore, the presence of high-quality health clubs, international brand hotels, and premium office spaces meets the needs of workers for a quality lifestyle and convenient work opportunities. This alleviates the burdens of commuting and school-related logistics, truly enabling residents to “settle in” and “thrive.”
Looking ahead, it is anticipated that the Xiong’an New Area will ignite like a spark, with the launch zone as its starting point. A vibrant future with thriving industries, flourishing communities, and a harmonious living environment is gradually unfolding, revealing a city of innovation, charm, and promise to the world.
