Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town is now welcoming artificial intelligence companies and new R&D institutions to settle in.
Reporters recently learned from the Xuhui District Planning and Resources Bureau that in June this year, the Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town with a construction scale of over one million square meters ushered in the first phase of completion and delivery. Five R&D headquarters office buildings along the south side of Huafa Road were the first to be unveiled. . The entire project will be completed in 2026-2027, becoming a new industrial highland suitable for creation, enjoyment, industry, and livability, covering commerce, scientific research, rental housing, education, ecological green spaces, and riverside landscape corridors.
Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town has a total land area of approximately 54.3 hectares and a construction scale of approximately 1 million square meters, of which the above-ground construction volume is approximately 740,000 square meters, including scientific research facilities, rental residences, and service facilities. It is a new artificial intelligence town project jointly built by Xuhui District and Caohejing Development Zone Corporation. It aims to create a globally influential artificial intelligence industry cluster with artificial intelligence as the core industry and big data as the core technology support. The project is located at Zhumei Road, Metro Line 15, Huajing Town, Xuhui District, close to the airport connection line, Metro Line 19 and 23 under construction. It is a key area for industrial structure adjustment and upgrading during the 13th Five-Year Plan in Xuhui District. The Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town is planned to become a globally influential artificial intelligence industry cluster, an artificial intelligence global application demonstration area, and an international intelligent industry-city integration area when fully completed.
As one of the "double T" carriers of Xuhui's two million-level artificial intelligence projects, Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town is also a typical example of a traditional industrial park being updated through regional development into a smart district that integrates industry and city. The Xuhui District Planning and Natural Resources Bureau has always adhered to benchmarking reforms, focused on front-end services, continuously improved the efficiency of full-process services, and taken multiple measures to help project implementation and continue to create a first-class business environment in the field of planned resources.
Faced with extremely large-scale projects, Xuhui District Planning and Resources Bureau established a special project service class in the early stage to provide enterprises with more accurate and high-quality services on a "one-on-one" basis. Implement the "counseling + pre-examination + approval" plan consultation working mechanism, and use the preliminary land transfer procedure time to simultaneously improve the design plan. Through the form of "joint review", we actively build communication bridges, take the lead in transportation, greening, fire protection, environmental protection and other functional departments, coordinate industry management and construction requirements in advance, and clarify relevant requirements for underground space, construction, transportation, greening, fire protection, etc. in advance to ensure Good early stage demonstration for project approval. Through the form of "centralized counseling", we proactively ask for needs and provide advance guidance, fully communicate on the project plan, approval timing, review and reform policies, etc., and clarify the advancement route for the project. By conducting pre-review of land plot plans in advance, the project team can sort out the doubts and difficulties in plan design, provide optimization suggestions, and formulate plans for enterprises in advance.
At the same time, during the project approval stage, the Xuhui District Planning and Resources Bureau relied on the "Huazhimen Co-construction and Co-Governance Alliance" platform to work with enterprises and relevant industry authorities to discuss the regional spatial form, basic development conditions, and public facilities of Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town. Configuration, construction timing and mechanism guarantees, etc., clarify the development goals of the town, resolve contradictions, and promote regional development and construction in an orderly manner. Give full play to the advantages of expert think tanks, and on the basis of implementing the management requirements of industry authorities, invite experts in planning, architecture, and style to conduct further demonstrations on the overall functional layout of the town, regional transportation organization, urban landscape, public open spaces, etc., and at the same time, The historical buildings retained in the town will be carefully screened, and renewal and utilization plans will be formulated to enhance the quality of the project through design. During the project construction application phase, our bureau focused on the actual needs of the enterprise and implemented dedicated personnel to connect with the project team. Through flexible service methods such as appointment processing and green channels, we achieved rapid processing of key links such as project design plan approval, land use planning permit, and engineering planning permit. The approval ensures that the project starts construction in the shortest possible time.
The project is large, how can we help it be put into production as soon as possible? In order to cooperate with the settlement plan of artificial intelligence enterprises and new R&D institutions and provide a place for innovative talents to live, the construction of two rental residences in Building 8 and Building 11 of the second phase of Beiyang Artificial Intelligence Town was completed ahead of schedule in June this year. Under construction. According to the traditional acceptance model, all buildings and supporting facilities of the project must be completed before acceptance can be carried out and put into use, which will seriously delay the time for secondary decoration and enterprise settlement. The Xuhui District Planning and Resources Bureau fully considered the company's delivery time requirements, combined with the actual situation of the project, and worked with fire protection, quality supervision, environmental protection and other departments to study the specific implementation path for acceptance. After the individual building meets management requirements such as fire protection, safety, and environmental protection, and the supporting facilities in the park have been implemented on schedule and meet usage needs, the completion acceptance conclusion will be issued in batches so that the individual building can be put into use in advance. With the help of the "one certificate, multiple inspections" acceptance method, it ensures that artificial intelligence companies and new R&D institutions can settle in as scheduled.
In the future, the Xuhui District Planning and Resources Bureau will continue to comprehensively deepen reform and innovation, actively respond to the demands of enterprises, effectively solve their difficulties, continue to speed up project implementation, improve the quality of regional construction, and make every effort to ensure that the policy of optimizing the business environment is implemented from "paper" to " ground".
