Through consistent planning of public open spaces and the high-quality landscape around Jinji Lake, the urban landscape of the Central Business District will be seamlessly linked to the waterfront open spaces, creating a unique environment in which natural greenery is in harmony with the urban setting. The design provides outdoor recreational spaces to facilitate interaction and communication among between people and their environment, and to create an urban center that serves residents and visitors alike.
