Fengtai Station Hub is in the southwest of Beijing. The station development is considered as an opportunity to activate the surrounding area. The scheme consists of five mixed-use neighborhoods around the station. The design preserves the city's distinctive industrial memory and heritage through public spaces and parks that interprets and celebrates the history of the site.

The open space system as well as a multi-level transportation system connects each of the neighborhoods. The concept of vertical city as a solution for sustainable living is introduced, with landmark skyscrapers and public spaces linked to the station through an integrated underground space network. The plan combines city memory and future to create a new heart in the south of the city.
