And its spatial values reside in:
Important safeguard of water safety: with multiple rivers gathering in the central urban area, it provides important buffer space to resist the floods through constructing integrated flood control works.
A core ecological landscape corridor in the region: there are multiple ecological elements such as mountains, native woodland, habitats for birds, coastal wetland, and beach, etc., gathering here to construct a systematic linear natural landscape.
A special exhibition belt of urban-rural integration: it connects existing rural area with newborn urban area, and brings an experience of 'Shenshan Taste" that was born with mountains and waters and integrates urban and rural areas.
In this context, Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone Management Commission of Shenzhen Municipality and the Planning and Natural Resources Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality are jointly organizing 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 establish a waterfront lifestyle and improve waterfront landscape on the basis of ensuring water safety, water ecology and water environment.
