Luohu will showcase its urban renewal projects at the 9th Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture to be held at the site of the former Shenzhen Kingway Brewing Company from Dec. 9.

Themed “Urban Cosmologies”, the event focuses on city’s sustainable and green development, as well city’s responses to global climate change.

The former brewery, which covers an area of 11,600 square meters, was the first example of a complex old industrial zone renewal project in Shenzhen that integrates the demolition, reconstruction and comprehensive renovation modes in the protection of industrial heritage. It not only provides incremental space for the industry in the way of urban renewal, but also preserves the collective memory of the urban public in the way of industrial heritage transformation. Now it promotes the rebirth of public cultural places through such public cultural events.

On The basis of retaining iconic buildings with distinctive industrial characteristics, such as beer fermentation workshop, can workshop and sewage treatment station, the project transformed the original single factory production line into a diversified cultural fields through spatial reconstruction and value rebirth.

The site has now become a new urban cultural landmark integrating functions such as public cultural and artistic display, citizen recreation and entertainment, and digital creative industry incubation.
