Shenzhen is the most dynamic node of Pearl Delta Rivera. The city has developed its economic centers in a decentralized manner on a West-East axis. Thus, the natural corridors North-South between Mountain and the Sea has been broken. This project proposes to rebuild the natural corridors, while we implant a strong urban program to activate this central part of the city. The Rootboot project is a foundational process that emerges from the earth as aerial roots and builds the city as a chain of intelligent urban blocks.

In the new Central Business District we created an open and flexible mesh with a central park that allows to build a high-density mixed-use city with housing, offices, commerce and services. On the streets, we propose to separate the private traffic that will be underground, creating more space for the citizen on the surface. The district has already metro stations and bus, but we propose to add a last mille self-driven on-demand transport system with minibuses. Under the city we will build a system of streets and parking lots.

The whole urban complex is transformed into an ecological ecosystem, with Water Recycling, Block chain of energy, Pneumatic waste collection and public Wi-Fi with sensors to create a vibrant and human city. The central park of the Root boot will concentrate buildings for culture, and the advanced economy. The main icon of the district will be an artificial wooden mountain that will host the big convention center and hotel.

The Lake Park will be regenerated as part of the urban Green corridor to create new forms of ecological leisure with eco-gastronomy and urban agriculture, sports with a multifunctional tower, and children and environmental education. The central structure of old roller coaster will be reused to host drone competitions and a Magic show with water, light and sound. The ecological corridor that connects the mountain and the sea will be possible through the construction of light platforms that allow passage over the great avenues and highways of Shenzhen.

On the mountain, an observatory will allow us to verify in a few years, that all this was possible.

深圳是珠江三角洲最具活力的地方。深圳以分散的形式在东西轴线上形成经济中心，因此打破了在山脉和大海之间纵贯南北的自然走廊。该项目建议重建自然走廊，同时开展一个大型的城市项目来激活城市的中心部分。Rootboot项目是一个以气根的形式从土壤中出现的基础过程，它将城市建设成连接智能街区的链条。

在新的中央商务区，我们创建了一个开放和灵活的网格与中央公园，在此能够建立一个高密度的多功能城市，带有住房、办公、商业和服务功能。在街道方面，我们建议将它与地下的私人交通分开，在地面上为市民创造更多的空间。该地区已有地铁站和公交车，但我们建议增加最后一英里的小型公共汽车自驱动按需交通系统。在城市下面，我们将建造一个街道和停车场系统。

整个城市综合体将转化为一个生态系统，装配了带传感器的水循环、能源区块链、气动垃圾收集系统和公共无线网络，从而打造一个充满活力和人性化的城市。项目中的中央公园将聚集文化和先进经济类的建筑物。该地区的标志性建筑将是一座人造木山，其中包含大型会议中心和酒店。

湖滨公园将被改造成城市绿色走廊的一部分，创造具有生态美食和城市农业、多功能塔式建筑的体育中心、儿童和环境教育等设施的新生态休闲形式。旧过山车的中心结构将被重新利用，以举办无人机比赛和有水、光和声音的魔术秀。连接山和海的生态走廊将通过建造轻型平台来实现，这些平台能够让人们在深圳的大街和高速公路上方通行。

我们将在山上建立一个观测站，用以在几年后验证，所有这些都将成为可能。
