Tencent Shenzhen Headquarters Project (Net City)
Throughout the world, modern cities operate from a mentality organized primarily around automobiles, not people. Tencent’s Shenzhen Headquarters Project (Net City) places the needs of people and the environment before cars, resulting in an interconnected, organic ecosystem that paves the way for future cities.
The design of the headquarters project prioritizes people and the environment at every step, from a comprehensive transportation network that emphasizes public transit, bicycles and pedestrian access to stormwater and runoff collection and public green spaces.
Features
The headquarters project features a new Tencent office, a residential neighborhood, schools, retail and other amenities to provide working and living conveniences for the community.
