When the roar of excavators cuts through the early morning of the Wuhe area in Longgang, this land that carries the memories of old Shenzhen people is undergoing a disruptive transformation. On December 22, 2025, the "Railway Construction Team" consisting of China Railway 17th Bureau, 22nd Bureau, 25th Bureau, and China Railway Construction officially announced that they had jointly won the super city renewal project in the Wuhe area for 8 billion yuan. This is not only another heavyweight layout of the state-owned enterprise corps in Shenzhen, but also means that a new landmark integrating science and technology innovation, residential and commercial areas will soon emerge on the core map of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.

 Billion level lineup gathering: Central enterprises join forces to rewrite the development pattern of the region

The "Tiejian Tiantuan" that jointly won the championship this time are all industry leaders deeply involved in the field of infrastructure. China Railway 17th Bureau excels in the construction of large-scale transportation hubs and integrated complexes, China Railway 22nd Bureau has rich experience in urban rail transit and district development, China Railway 25th Bureau excels in building high standard residential and industrial parks, and China Railway Construction is an expert in commercial real estate and supporting facility construction. The four major central enterprises have joined forces, bringing in over 8 billion yuan in strong funds and integrating the full chain capabilities from planning and design, engineering construction to operation and management.

It is reported that the urban renewal project in Wuhe District covers an area of over 500000 square meters, with a planned construction area of nearly 2 million square meters, covering a variety of formats such as high-end talent residences, science and technology innovation industrial parks, flagship commercial complexes, nine-year integrated schools, and community parks. The project will closely follow the development strategy of Shenzhen's "20+8" industrial cluster, with a focus on introducing emerging industries such as artificial intelligence and biomedicine, to create a modern new city that integrates production and living, and balances work and residence. It is worth mentioning that the project will also preserve some historical buildings in the area, and through the restoration of old buildings, allow urban memory and modern development to coexist organically.

Wuhe Rise: The Butterfly Transformation from "Transportation Node" to "New Cover of Industry and City"

The Wuhe area is located at the intersection of Longgang, Longhua, and Nanshan districts, adjacent to the transportation hub of Shenzhen North Station. Metro lines 5 and 10 intersect here, making it a key node on the development axis of central Shenzhen. However, for a long time, the old factories and urban villages in the area have been clustered together, the industrial level is low, the living environment urgently needs improvement, and the geographical advantages have not been fully utilized.

The implementation of the 8 billion urban renewal project will completely reverse this situation. In terms of spatial planning, the project will connect the internal traffic microcirculation of the area, build multiple municipal roads, and achieve seamless connection with the subway and high-speed rail; In terms of industrial upgrading, the Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park will provide over 500000 square meters of high-quality industrial space, which is expected to attract over a thousand science and technology innovation enterprises to settle in and create tens of thousands of high-end job opportunities; In terms of supporting facilities for people's livelihood, newly built schools, parks, hospitals and other facilities will comprehensively improve the quality of life of residents in the area. In the future, Wuhe will no longer be a hastily passing transportation hub, but a new benchmark for industry city integration that is suitable for business and living, becoming an important growth pole for the rise of central Shenzhen.

With the comprehensive launch of the pre project preparation work, the butterfly transformation journey of this land has begun. Under the ingenuity of the state-owned enterprise corps, the Wuhe area is steadily moving towards the goal of becoming a "pearl of science and technology innovation in the Greater Bay Area and a model of industrial urban integration in Shenzhen", and a brand new urban landscape is slowly unfolding.Editor/Bian Wenjun
