2. The South Station will have a new HSR that connected to Hangzhou city trough Jiaxing. The HSR will be the part of G60 High Tech Corridor (Scientific & Creative Industry Corridor). So the Xuhui District can get the development opportunity as the part of the corridor
3. There will be a demographic change from the migration of the new HSR. It will produces new functions to the Xuhui District : a. Residents (Commercial, Educational), b. West Bund (Cultural Center, Museums), c. G60 Corridor (RND and Creative Industry)

Social Inclusivity The new green corricor will have many local activities for the citizen to revitalize the social dynamics and embark local embeddedness Green/Sustainability The new green connector is for pedestrian and bicycle. It support local activities and the south station as hub
Urban Vision New Green Urban Connector that stitches together the currently isolated neighborhoods and functions of the Xuhui District, creating a series of pedestrian and vehicular paths that permeate trough a series of blocks, containing different programs and functions, adding activities to bridge across the north-south division. Which emphasizes the following urban design principles:
Section II
Design, Concept, Vision, Strategy
Intensify and mix Functions Human Scale/ Neighborhood Design
The building along the new green connector will be designed with a human scale and have sense of place for every area
The activities in the south will be densified with creative milieu activities and the new green connector connection will strengthen the urban life
