BRIEF

Binhaiwan New District of Dongguan City, located in the intersection between the east and west banks of the urban cluster of the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macau, closely connected with Guangzhou and Shenzhen, especially the national free trade zones such as Qianhai of Shenzhen and Nansha of Guangzhou, and an important window for Dongguan to open to the outside world. Promoting the construction of Dongguan Binhaiwan New District is a practice of Dongguan to implement the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area strategy and actively integrate into the construction of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen sic-tech innovation corridor, a major strategic plan of Dongguan to seize historical opportunities and create a new growth pole and an exciting point, as well as a significant strategic measure of Dongguan to propel high-quality development.

In October 2017, Dongguan Binhaiwan New District (hereinafter as “the New District “) has been formally established. The New District comprises three parts, namely Jiaoyi Bay, Shajiao Peninsula and Weiyuan Island with a planning area of 83.2 km², within which the existing land area is 51.8 km²and planned to be 57.7 km²after construction. Currently, the New District is positioned by Guangdong Province as the leading area of collaborative development for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, and recognized as one of the ten core innovation platforms of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen sic-tech innovation corridor and a major regional development platform of the Pearl River Delta in the Guangdong coastal economic belt. Furthermore, It is also the important platform for Dongguan to participate and integrate into the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, and has been defined by Dongguan Municipal Committee and Government as the new key engine for Dongguan’s future thirty-year economic development.

In order to accelerate its planning and construction with high standard and implement the ecological development concept of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is required by Dongguan Municipal Committee and Government to carry out an international bidding for the design of the coastal landscape corridor in the New District with high standard and high quality, and for this purpose invite internationally renowned design firms to involve in its planning and design, as well as its detailed implementation plans. In this way, in combination with requirements of the current city masterplan, it’s to build a dynamic coastline and functional zone dominated by leisure & open spaces and public service facilities such as culture, sports, office, and business etc., along the coastline of the New District, and create a coastal landscape leisure belt which is internationally first-class, predominant in the Bay Area and most attractive.
