The Jinding Area is located in the northernmost part of the Jinqiao Development Area and is a demonstrative area combining business, working, and lifestyle spaces. According to the tender, the area has secured fixed asset investments worth 50 billion yuan ($ 7.9 billion) in total and will include 200 programs.

The area will focus on developing key industries such as new energy automobiles, the Internet and videos.

For the past two months, 19 designers from 14 of the world's top-level construction and design companies have been in competition with one another, aiming to design the best layout for the area.
