Landscape Environment Conceptual Design for Beijing Lize Financial Business District

Beijing Lize Financial Business District covers an area of about 809 hectares, with a planned construction area of about 308 hectares and the construction scale of about 8-9.5 million square meters. In which, the core area covers 281 hectares, construction land covers 136.5 hectares, and the building scale is about 6.5-7 million square meters (including the reserved building scale of 1.094 million square meters).This design follows the planned structure i.e. one core, three belts, and multiple points, "One core" : central park. "Three belts”: the green belt of Third Ring Road City Park, cultural belt of Historical Ruin of the Middle Capital of Jin Dynasty, landscape belt of Lianhua River. "Multiple points”: first-level design highlights: Historical Ruin Museum of the Middle Capital of Jin Dynasty, city airport terminal, cultural interaction space, urban ecological settlement; Secondary-level design highlights: concentrated green land central park. This project is designed to create a green and diversified business environment, ecological urban landscape. It will become the new landmark of the city, the new gateway of the southwest of capital Beijing.

Lize Financial Business District will firmly grasp the functional positioning of the emerging financial industry cluster area and the capital's financial reform experimental area. Relying on the location advantage of being adjacent to Financial Street, it will accurately focus on the three major aspects of “new increment, new technology and new supervision”, and highlight the opportunities for differentiated development of emerging financial industries. In addition, through policy breakthroughs and innovations, it will build Lize Financial Business District into an international emerging financial open trial zone that rivals Canary Wharf in London. 

Based on the elements of the green belt of West Third Ring Road City Park, The Lotus River, Fengcao River, Historical Ruin of the Middle Capital of Jin Dynasty, city airport terminal, subway stations, ecological and cultural highlights, etc., we proposed a planning structure  of “one heart, three belts and multiple points”. Combined with the Metro Line No. 5 transfer, underground corridors and complex urban municipal systems, a complex underground space of approximately 320,000 square meters that integrates business, transportation, leisure and entertainment is formed therein. Benchmarking excellent cases of high-end functional zones both at home and abroad, we conduct high-end positioning for supporting facilities such as business, medical, cultural, etc., effectively enhance attractiveness in combination with commercial functions, make overall planning of the balance between employment and housing through in-depth analysis of the population structure, rational allocation of land resources. In addition, we make road grade homogenized, subdivide road functions, adjust road sections and shorten street-crossing distance. Create humanistic Lize Financial Business District through historical monuments, water culture and opera art. Based on the research on sponge city, we carried out planning and designing for The Lotus River and Fengcao River.
