Shenzhen - Hong Kong

The border between Shenzhen and Hong Kong is a very crucial location in the strategy strengthening connections between two systems. By introducing new knowledge centres closer to the border, new potentialities of local integration are created. It can trigger the formation of new border crossings and thus ease the people’s flow between the cities. To improve the attractiveness of Shenzhen side of the border and increase its resilience, the softening of hard edges is proposed.
