The Suzhou Center is a landmark urban space within the Suzhou Central Business District that embodies the spirit of the city of Suzhou as a gateway for intersecting old and new cultural and historic heritage. The successful combination of high-density development and ecological conservation will allow for Suzhou to transition to a garden city where state-of-the-art sustainable development measures epitomize responsible urban development. Through consistent planning of public open spaces and the high-quality landscape around Jinji Lake, the urban landscape of the Central Business District will be seamlessly linked to the waterfront open spaces, creating a unique environment in which natural greenery is in harmony with the urban setting. The design provides outdoor recreational spaces to facilitate interaction and communication among between people and their environment, and to create an urban center that serves residents and visitors alike.
