Improved Urban Functionality
Longgang District has significantly accelerated the development of its transportation infrastructure. Phase IV of Metro Line 3 is operational, while Phase II of Line 16 has been fully electrified. Four Phase V metro lines, including the highly anticipated Phase I of Line 17, have been under construction. The surface-level section of the Huizhou–Shenzhen Expressway expansion has been largely completed, greatly enhancing regional connectivity. In addition, 91.7 kilometers of non-motor lanes have been established, and 48 feeder transit routes have been added or upgraded to improve access to the metro network.
Public utilities and urban infrastructure sees steady improvement. The expansion and advanced treatment upgrade of the Longgang Central Water Plant has been successfully completed. The Siming Substation has been completed and put into operation, and an additional 12 square kilometers of urban area has been up to national sponge-city standards.
Longgang District has made remarkable progress in building a smart city. A new model has been launched to integrate district-level data infrastructure with unified data asset. The district's City Information Modeling (CIM) platform has been constructed initially. The "Longzhengtu" mobile app, part of the information management system, has been officially rolled out to improve urban governance efficiency. Longgang District also introduces the “LongXiao-i” AI application matrix and pioneeres the establishment of an AI algorithm training base, which is recognized as a model scenario for AI application in Guangdong Province.
Longgang continues to lay a solid foundation for public safety and social stability. The district rankes second across Shenzhen in the city’s safety performance. More efforts have been made to have safety inspections in the high-risk sectors, involving the traffic and transportation, construction, and fire prevention. The newly established District Dispute Mediation and Service Center enhances grassroots conflict resolution capabilities. Notably, Longgang District’s innovative case that applies an integrated “Four-Governance” model to address difficulties in resolving marital and family disputes has been recognized as a national model case under the “Fengqiao Experience” of the new era.
