Shougang Park: Beijing, China

Shougang Park in Beijing, China is a hub for tourism, sports, and cultural events. It was originally built in 1919 as a steel mill in the Shijingshan District. The mill operated until 2005.

Shougang Park was included in the first batch of pilot areas for the transformation of old industrial areas in urban areas in China, national pilot areas for the comprehensive reform of the service industry, national sustainable development pilot areas, Zhongguancun national independent innovation demonstration areas, national smart city pilot areas and Beijing green ecological demonstration areas.  It's also the first C40 positive climate model area in China. The park was the official entry of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. It hosted the big air events for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

In November 2017, the “Detailed Planning of New Shougang High-end Industry Comprehensive Service Area North Area” (Shougang Park North Area) was officially approved by the Beijing Municipal Planning and Land Resources Management Committee. This planning achievement has reached the advanced level in the world, winning the “International Excellent Planning Award”, “Green Building Pioneer Award” and “Chinese Habitat Environment Prize”, first prize at the National Excellent Urban and Rural Planning and Design Awards (Urban Planning Category), and 2018 International Urban and Regional Planning Excellence Awards, and the Excellence Award of the 2019 Environmental Building Awards (Research and Planning Category). In 2020, the Detailed Controlled Planning of New Shougang High-end Industry Comprehensive Service Area South Area (Block Level) was approved.

In terms of space construction, Shougang Park started construction in a large area and was finally completed and accepted. Winter Olympics Square, Industrial Heritage Park and Shijingshan Cultural Landscape Area were all completed before the Winter Olympic Games, and the mountain/water/Olympics/industrial heritage characteristic landscape system was basically formed.

The park is also home to the Shangri-La Shougang Park, a luxury hotel with suites, rooms, and dining options. The hotel was built in an abandoned industrial area and opened for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
