Urban renewal empowers regional industrial upgrading -the practice and exploration of the south central axis international culture and technology park 

China's urban development has transitioned from the incremental expansion to the stage of stock renewal. Various regions are exploring the ways to redevelop and reuse existing spatial resources, giving rise to diverse urban renewal models. The South Central Axis International Culture and Technology Park is a typical urban renewal project, which is formerly known as the Dahongmen Garment Trade Mall, and it has transformed from a wholesale market into an industrial one. By leveraging regional advantages and development potential, the park actively fosters and expands niche sectors such as digital humans, digital content, and intelligent interaction. It accelerates the landing of future industries and unicorn companies, driving the transformation and upgrading of the regional industrial structure through urban renewal.  

The South Central Axis International Culture and Technology Park (referred to as the South Central Axis Park or Park) is located in the Fengtai Nanyuan-Dahongmen Area, which was once famous for its garment wholesale industry. With the changing times, the area urgently needed industrial transformation. In 2014, Fengtai District initiated the relocation of wholesale markets, which was largely completed by the end of 2021, marking the end of the garment wholesale market era in the Nanyuan-Dahongmen area. Led by the largest and most representative Dahongmen Clothing Trade City, the South Central Axis International Culture and Technology Park is established. Through high-standard planning and construction, the park has become one of Beijing's Best Urban Renewal Practice Cases for 2024. It attracts high-quality projects, talent, capital, and industries, serving as a core engine driving the development of the southern region of the capital.
