Pilot planning and all-round development underpin the blueprint for opening-up. To benchmark Xiongan New Area, the SCODA highlights “international paradigm, humanistic sharing, three-dimensional intensification, ecological livability, and smart technology,” and pursues “utilizing the underground and air spaces efficiently”. In March 2020, the Architectural Design & Research Institute of Tsinghua University (THAD) and Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute were commissioned to carry out urban design and underground space planning for the 10-square-kilometer core area. On June 20, the plan was approved at the review meeting attended by four CAE academicians including Wu Zhiqiang, Zhuang Weimin, Chen Xiangsheng, and Li Shucai, and the SCODA has since had its “compass.” The total building volume of the core area is 17.5 million m2, including 5.5 million m2 underground. Seven clusters are designed: SCO Plaza, Finance and Trade Cluster, SCO International Industrial Cooperation Cluster, Jinhu Service Cluster, Commerce Cluster, Tourism Cluster, and Cultural Exchange, Marine Cooperation, and Consulate Cluster.
