The main structure of the first batch of resettlement apartments in Plot F01 of the initial construction phase for the Zhenlong Village (West Section) urban village redevelopment project in Guangzhou's Huangpu District has been fully topped out. This milestone signifies that the major public welfare project, anticipated for the return of nearly 2,000 households, has officially entered a new stage focused on comprehensive acceleration and high-quality delivery.
The Zhenlong Village (West Section) urban renewal project is led by Guangzhou Development District City Development Group, with China Construction Fourth Engineering Division Corp., Ltd. participating in the construction. Through comprehensive planning and contiguous redevelopment, the project not only significantly enhances the living environment and public service infrastructure of the area but also, by restructuring space, releases over 60 hectares of premium land for regional industrial development. This effectively facilitates the landing of key industrial projects, such as the second phase of XPeng Motors' Guangzhou Intelligent Connected Vehicle Manufacturing Base, realizing a positive cycle of urban development driving industrial growth and industry revitalizing the city.
The recently topped-out Plot F01, along with the concurrently advancing Plot F02, has a total construction area of approximately 317,000 square meters. The plan involves building 1,956 resettlement apartments, which will tangibly upgrade housing provision from simply having a place to live to having a quality place to live. The construction of good homes and quality residential complexes contributes to creating better communities and a better urban district.
A representative from the project stated that the project fully aligns with the "good housing" standard system, integrating the concepts of "good design, good construction, good materials, and good service." The planning and design are based on the concept of "Lingnan Harmony," forming an overall layout. It emphasizes the preservation and restoration of nine historical and cultural heritage sites and includes nearly 90,000 square meters of affordable housing, comprehensively achieving improvements in the living environment, the inheritance of historical context, and housing security for talent.
During the construction process, the project established a smart worksite management platform. This platform integrates systems such as AI video surveillance, hook visualisation, tower crane safety monitoring, high-formwork support monitoring, smart safety helmets, and real-name registration management, achieving visualised, informatised, and intelligent management of the entire construction process. Technical personnel involved noted the use of BIM technology for full-process collaboration, combined with cutting-edge technologies like AI recognition, drone inspections, hoisting wire rope wear monitoring, and construction robots, to create smart construction scenarios featuring all-element digital management.
