Xili Sports And Cultural Centre Shenzhen

The Shenzhen Nanshan District government officially announced that the MVRDV and Zhubo Design consortium won the competition for the Xili Sports and Cultural Centre, a project seeking to transform the lives of residents of different generations nearby by offering a more humanistic model for sports and culture. The project brings together different types of activities in the form of a theme park, with four main buildings totaling 105,000 square meters. The project will become an important social node in the Dasha River green corridor of Shenzhen. As China's first special economic zone, Shenzhen's urban construction has developed rapidly and changes daily. The project is located in a residential area adjacent to the Dasha River green corridor, with Yangtai Mountain to the north and Dananshan Park to the south, where a new cultural and sports center will be built. This project will become a diversified experience center integrating sports, health, entertainment, and culture, seeking to establish deep connections between nature, sports, and culture in order to serve people of different ages and interests more broadly. Shenzhen is one of China's fastest-developing cities, and its socio-economic model is transitioning from traditional manufacturing to innovation and knowledge-based industries. The project by MVRDV creates a sports and cultural complex that is open, accessible, and integrated with the natural green corridor, serving the surrounding community as well as the broader city.
