Urban Design of Shijingpo Area in Shapingba

The Shijingpo area project in Shapingba District, Chongqing is located in the Chongqing Special Steel Factory, adjacent to the historical and cultural district of Chongqing—Ciqikou Ancient Town. It is an important historical and cultural exhibition area for the future city, and it is also an exhibition area for typical urban landscapes. As the site of the former industrial site of the Chongqing Steelmaking Plant, the project was the earliest iron and steel enterprise in Southwest China, and it was an important milestone in this hot land. It was once known as the "mother of all industries in the Southwest."

 

The design not only continues the historical context, but also repairs and protects the factory building. On the basis of reshaping the new building, it retains part of the original architectural form, color and material. The project radiates to surrounding cities to promote economic development. With the renewal and transformation of industrial areas, it drives the development of digital entertainment experience areas and cultural and creative industries to enrich the types of leisure and entertainment, and provides multi-functional urban public activity space, which has become a major feature of the city. Through image remodeling, scenic spot remodeling, and industrial transformation, we will create a model for the development of world-class dynamic riverside and China's industrial heritage tourism.
