I. Ecological construction

1. Ecological pattern in urban and rural areas

While protecting the fundamental ecological structure composed of “mountains, rivers, fields and forests”, we will build up an ecological pattern featured with “one area, two wedges, nine corridors and multiple networks”.

One area is Longquan Mountain Ecological Conservation Area; two wedges mean two wedge-shaped green belts in the city; nine corridors are nine green corridors separating the city’s districts; and multiple networks signify the green networks in each district.

2. Protection of ecological and green belts

Modern agriculture and eco-tourism will be developed in ecological and green belts in Tianfu New Area, which are the foundation of the ecological environment.

3. The network of lakes

To ensure water use and increase drainage capacity, three new large lakes will be made and the water area will grow by 10 km² (6 km² will be added in the south of Zhengxing town, 2 km² in the east of Baisha town, and another 2 km² in the west of Jitian town). In this way, an interlinked water network will be formed, with Min River, Jin River, Luxi River and the Dongfeng Canal as its backbones, the tributaries and sublateral canals as its skeletons, and the lakes and reservoirs as its nodes.

4. The urban greenbelt system

Based on the nine green corridors in the city, a greenbelt system comprising “four cores and eleven important areas, characterized with networks and nodes”, will come into being, which falls into four levels, i.e. city centers, districts, areas integrating industrialization and urbanization, and communities.

5. Ecological conservation of the two-lakes-and-one-mountain functional area Pursuant to the corresponding regulations, Longquan Lake and Sancha Lake will be designated as water source protection areas, reservoir conservation forests will be expanded, water ecological system will be protected, and water quality will be improved.

II. Clustered layout

On the basis of the “One City, Six Districts” layout defined in the overall planning, areas clustered with similar industries and organizations will be set out within each district, in accordance with the designated units integrating industrialization and urbanization, by linking water network and road greenbelts and precisely dividing the space between the units.

III. Style and features

(1) Overall style

The districts and towns should suit measures to local conditions: materialize garden city in plain areas; project a coastal image in places endowed with rivers and lakes; shape a city featured with mountains and water in mountainous places near rivers or lakes; highlight the hilly flavor in hilly lands; and build idyllic towns in large green areas.

(2) Construction control

High-rise buildings should be concentrated in central areas.

Residential areas should be livable, in picturesque disorder and well-proportioned.

Industrial parks and areas should be intensive and efficient, and multi-storey buildings should be encouraged.

IV. History and culture

History and culture should be earnestly preserved. A preservation system consisting of tangible cultural heritages, natural environment and intangible cultural heritages should be established.

All towns and villages famous for their history and culture, time-honored streets, and unique forests should be rigorously protected. Cultural heritage protection units, historic architecture, historic relics and their protected areas should be designated. Age-old and precious tress should be branded for conversation.

Intangible cultural heritages and historical place names should be preserved; and brilliant local culture, arts and traditional craftwork should be inherited and carried forward well into the future.

V. Support system

(1) Transport infrastructure

1. The planning of urban road network

A road system composed of highways, freeways, trunk roads, secondary trunk roads and bypaths will be set up. A highway and two freeways will be built between districts and a freeway system with “five horizontal roads and ten vertical freeways” will come into shape.

The density of the road network is planned to be 7.5km/km2, higher than the national standard and similar to that of the national new areas.

Density of Road Network (km/km²)

Tianfu New Area 7.5

Liangjiang New Area 7.4

Binhai New Area 7.1

Pudong New Area 7.2

Beijing 6.0 Shanghai 6.8

National Standard 5.4-7.1

2. The planning of urban railway network

A railway system with “five horizontal roads and ten vertical freeways” will be established; and these 15 lines consist of express lines, subways and light rail transits.

Three comprehensive overhaul bases, five rolling stock depots and eight parking lots are planned to be built.

The total course of the railway network will reach 329 km and the density of the railway network is 0.5 km/km², similar to that of other national new areas.

Density of railway network (km/km²)

Tianfu New Area 0.5

Liangjiang New Area 0.42

Binhai New Area 0.46

Pudong New Area 0.38

3. The planning of mass transportation

Distribution of stations

The buses in the area will be 11,050, i.e. 17 buses per 10,000 people, higher than the national standard and similar to that of other national new areas.

10 first-grade junction stations, 15 secondary stations, 15 comprehensive bus places and stations, and 260 terminals, in connection with traffic hinges and railway stations, so that different transportation tools will be smoothly linked up.

Express bus corridors

Three express corridors--Hualong Road, Tianfu Avenue and Shuanghuang Road, will be laid out and reserved for future express bus lines.

Areas and cities Rate of vehicle possession (per 10,000)

Tianfu New Area 17

Liangjiang New Area 16

Binhai New Area 16

Pudong New Area 15

Beijing 16 Shanghai 15

London 16

National Standard 10-12.5

4. Logistics planning

A logistics system composed of “three logistics parks, two logistics centers”, and logistics distribution stations will be set up, covering 22.24 km² land area, which accounts for 3.1 percent of the land for construction, similar to that of other national new areas.

A system of main freight routeways will be established while taking the distribution of industries into consideration, so that passenger and freight traffic will be separated.

Proportion of the land used for logistics to the land for construction

Tianfu New Area 3.10 percent

Liangjiang New Area 3.60 percent

Binhai New Area 2.80 percent

Pudong New Area 3.10 percent
