Zhang Aiping, chief consultant of Zhangjiang Industrial Engineering Institute, shared his experience in improving the quality and efficiency of Zhangjiang Science City’s industrial space. He said that in the past 32 years, Zhangjiang has transformed from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River with vast farmlands into a high-tech park known throughout the country as "Chinese Medicine Valley" and "China's Silicon Valley". However, due to various reasons, Zhangjiang's industry has structural deficiencies in manufacturing carriers. In the past few years, due to the lack of productive factories, some innovative enterprises in Zhangjiang have moved abroad.
In order to retain more enterprises and industries, in September 2023, the "Opinions on Promoting Zhangjiang Science City's Scientific and Technological Innovation and Industrial Integrated Development Planning Land Management Pilot" was issued. Zhangjiang began to explore flexible planning of industrial land and encourage the functional compounding of industrial land. Solve the "embarrassment of space". Since the New Deal was implemented for more than half a year, many companies have become beneficiaries. For example, 24 benchmark projects such as Huahong Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing were signed together; some companies, whose land was originally only used for industry, can now use the new policies to provide some supporting land for living to a certain extent.
Huang Yilun, deputy director (temporary) of Pudong Leading District Branch of Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Institute, brought his thoughts on the relationship between technological innovation and urban planning. He said that technology companies represented by OpenAI have shown a trend of returning to the city center. Based on the characteristics of the gathering of leading AI companies, San Francisco has proposed an urban revitalization plan to create an urban AI innovation district that will rise in the future. He hopes to use this wave of AI to drive San Francisco to once again leap.
Focusing on new productivity, how else can urban spatial planning be empowered? Huang Yilun and his team investigated the needs of many innovative companies and put forward three ideas. The first is to create a "tropical rainforest-style" innovation ecosystem, focusing on the three core elements of "brain", "cells" and "nerves" for planning. The "brain" includes top universities, research institutes, key laboratories and leading enterprises. Cells refer to the innovative elements provided by diverse communities like where openai is located, and nerves include blue and green systems, transportation systems, cultural and sports facilities, etc. The second is to provide a more inclusive urban space carrier that allows life, work, and leisure to interact with each other. The third is to create an environment that can stimulate innovation and arrange cafes, markets, bars, etc. so that people can continue to communicate and enjoy life. He concluded that innovation may not necessarily be planned through artificial planning, but people can guide the occurrence of innovation through the creation of innovation zones, so that the innovation space can be more in line with the laws of innovation, reduce intervention, and provide precise services.
