Xiushui New District of Jiaxing City is one of the natural wetlands with rich biodiversity, concentrated wetland resources, and well-maintained wetland ecology in the Hangjiahu Plain in the Yangtze River Delta. The area and its surrounding harbors are crisscrossed vertically and densely with lakes. The water town has rich cultural connotations and profound heritage. It is a typical representative of the “ancient canal-lake group” wetland in the southern plain of the Taihu Lake Basin.
Jiaxing has always been a pioneer in promoting urban-rural integration, which has a good foundation and obvious advantages to establish a national pilot zone for urban-rural integration. As the only pilot in Jiahu District of Zhejiang, one of the eleven national pilot zones for urban-rural integration, Xiushui New District is the most exemplary and benchmark area for urban-rural integration; as a demonstration zone and coordination zone for the green and ecological integration development of the Yangtze River Delta, it is an important space component for the implementation of the Yangtze River Delta integration strategy, an important carrier for the implementation of the national ecological civilization concept and the transformation of the “two mountains” theory, and also shoulders the future mission of the pioneer practice of urban-rural integration. At the important historical moment of Jiaxing’s “Centenary of the Founding of the Party”, Xiushui New District has ushered in the opportunity of presenting a series of future development directions of urban and rural integration.

Overview of Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone of Shenzhen Municipality
On September 21, 2017, Guangdong Provincial Committee of the CPC and the People’s Government of Guangdong Province issued ‘Reply to the Adjustment Plan on System of Organization of Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone’ (GPC [2017], No.123)which decided that Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone Party Work Committee and Management Committee were changed to representative offices of Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government and to build Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone (hereinafter referred to as ‘Shenshan Cooperation Zone’) into an economical function district led by Shenzhen according to the ’10+1′ model (10 districts of Shenzhen and Shenshan Cooperation Zone). And on December 16, 2018, the CPC Work Committee and Management Committee of Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone of Shenzhen Municipality was officially established. Since then, Shenshan Cooperation Zone has embarked on a new construction and development era dominated by Shenzhen.
Located on the eastern coast of a city cluster in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenshan Cooperation Zone is 60km away from Shenzhen and covers an area of 468.3km2 with a registered population of 76,500, of which built-area is 26km2. By 2035, 135km2 of Shenshan Cooperation Zone will be devoted to the construction area, the population size will reach 1.5 million, and public auxiliary facilities will be equipped to meet the needs of 3 million people. As an important strategic node, through which Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area radiates to town clusters of east Guangdong Province, Shenshan Cooperation Zone has undertaken the significant mission of ‘promoting regional coordination, becoming a cooperation demonstration zone, and insisting on innovation’, and is striving to build itself into the eastern gateway of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, a new center of the eastern Guangdong coastal economic belt, an innovation and development zone of Shenzhen, and a new modern, international coastal smart city by adhering to be people-oriented, insisting on ecological priority and green development, and seeking a new and high-level development with international perspectives.
Project Overview
Chishi River is the largest river in Shenshan Cooperation Zone. It runs through Chishi Town, and into the Red Bay by Xiaomo Town. With numerous rivers gathering here, it has a rich biodiversity. Meanwhile, as a flood-prone area, the area along Chishi River suffers from frequent flood disasters. Thus, the future construction of its riverside shall achieve disaster risk reduction and prevention based on the philosophy of resilience and safety, and build itself into an important regional ecological landscape corridor and a continuous exhibition belt with featured urban and rural space, so as to promote the development of ecological civilization in Shenshan Cooperation Zone.
In this context, Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone of Shenzhen Municipality is planning to organize the International Consultation on the Planning and Design of Chishi Riverside and hopes to establish a development framework with international vision and innovative concept, so as to promote its space quality on the basis of ensuring the resilience and safety of the riverfront area.
