Overview:

Qingdao West Railway Marshaling Station, and the protection corridors along Jiaozhou-Jinan Railway and Lancun-Yantai Railway segmented the project area, which brought certain challenges. In the future, the Marshaling Station will be upgraded into a high-speed railway station. Leveraging this opportunities, this area could be greatly invigorated. For this project, the greatest challenge was how to minimize the impact of railways to urban development, and facilitate sustainable development of the region.

Our team, based on a thorough study of the development conditions and policies, worked out the scale, spatial structure and development orientation of the area. The whole area is positioned as a smart city, a healthcare district, a eco-friendly area for people to live, while the core area is positioned to be a cluster of ecological, healthcare and leisure services.
