Since 1998, AECOM has played a crucial role in shaping Jinji Lake and its surrounding areas for over two decades, transforming the 550-hectare lakeside zone into a landmark destination for Suzhou and beyond. Today, our services continue to evolve, fostering high-quality development across the expanded Jinji Lake area.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>During the 1990s \u2014 when landscape design concepts were yet to gain widespread acceptance in China \u2014 AECOM pioneered a landscape-led approach, integrating environmental science, planning, and multidisciplinary expertise to deliver the Jinji Lake Master Plan and Landscape Design. This not only created a globally acclaimed waterfront urban space and elevated Suzhou\u2019s identity as a \u201cwater-city coexistence\u201d metropolis but also catalyzed transformative shifts in China\u2019s urban planning and landscape philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of AECOM\u2019s signature projects in China, the Jinji Lake set a precedent for waterfront planning and design nationwide. It redefined public perception, positioning, and usage patterns of waterfront public spaces in Suzhou and across China, sparking a wave of subsequent water-centric urban developments. The project significantly enhanced land value, established new paradigms for waterfront development, demonstrated the core value of ecological landscapes as green infrastructure, and revitalized traditional culture through innovative elements \u2014 fully showcasing AECOM\u2019s vision and confidence in urban development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aecom.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/1-Suzhou-jinji-lake-lower-2-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173702\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At this new 30-year milestone, with SIP positioned as Suzhou\u2019s new urban center, the Jinji Lake area is entering a renewed phase of revitalization. Leveraging profound insights into evolving trends, environmental shifts, and user needs, AECOM provides tailored planning and design solutions to create a more livable and workable lakeside environment. Our goal is to infuse the park with enduring vitality and innovative spirit, ensuring its sustained prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-01ba28a77691c9446d53da5454f254bf\" style=\"color:#008768\">Redefining Governance: Catalyzing Waterfront Evolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amidst urban population growth and demographic shifts, public expectations for open-space functionality and experiences are evolving. After systematically analyzing stakeholder needs \u2014 including management bodies, service providers, and end-users \u2014 AECOM established Jinji Lake\u2019s overarching vision:&nbsp;<strong>\u201cTo model a new governance framework for urban public spaces, driving SIP\u2019s evolution for the next 30 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This innovative governance model is built on four pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prioritizing long-term value enhancement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlocking incremental gains through precision design and operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transitioning from capital-driven to efficiency-driven expansion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating an internationally significant \u201cChina Model\u201d through local expertise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Guided by this framework, Jinji Lake will evolve from a commercial tourism hub into Suzhou\u2019s vibrant new center \u2014 offering premium living standards and robust development potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div auto-rotate=\"\" auto-rotate-speed=\"\"  class=\"aecom-custom-block block-image-slider owl-carousel\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n            <div>\n            <div class=\"slide-content\">\n                <div class=\"bg-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/aecom.com\/en-cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/2-Suzhou-jinji-lake-lower-2.jpg);\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div>\n            <div class=\"slide-content\">\n                <div class=\"bg-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/aecom.com\/en-cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/3-Suzhou-jinji-lake-lower-2.jpg);\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b497463839ce15c217003f0a37256773\" style=\"color:#008768\">Future-Focused Implementation Pathways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building upon the governance innovation and our commitment to ESG principles, we established the apex goal for Jinji Lake\u2019s public space upgrade: Creating a people-oriented 24\/7 \u201calways-on economy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our design strategy emphasizes user-oriented, low-carbon pedestrian spaces and reimagines the integrated green loop.
