Shenzhen has the highest number of 150 meter and 200 meter skyscrapers in the world, and the towering skyscrapers on this land are the most direct reflection of its rapid development over the past few decades.
Shenzhen, formerly known as Bao'an County, abbreviated as "Shen" and also known as Pengcheng, is a prefecture level city, sub provincial city, and national planned city under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province. It is officially recognized as a mega city. As officially approved by the State Council, it has multiple core positioning: China's first special economic zone, a national innovative city, a modern ocean city, an international comprehensive transportation hub, a national economic center city, a national advanced manufacturing base, an important gateway to opening up to the outside world, and also a key carrier of international scientific and technological innovation center. It is also a demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics, located in the core position of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, directly adjacent to Hong Kong, and a key hub node connecting the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao.
As the city with the highest GDP in the Pearl River Delta metropolitan area, Shenzhen also boasts the world's largest number of skyscrapers over 200 meters in height. The dense cluster of super high-rise buildings not only rewrites the city skyline, but also carries the city's industrial and population vitality. Many people are familiar with its legend of "small fishing village turning into a metropolis", but few pay attention to it. All of this transformation only took a short 40 years. In 1980, Shenzhen was officially established as a special economic zone in China, and a single approval marked the beginning of its rapid urbanization. In the following 40 years, starting from the roar of the Shekou Mountain Cannon, the slogan "Time is money, efficiency is life" was engraved into the blood of the city. Countless builders from all over the world rushed into this land with dreams. Shenzhen, without historical baggage, dared to venture and try. Starting from the earliest material processing factory, it gradually cultivated a world-class industrial cluster covering electronic information, artificial intelligence, new energy and other fields, and grew into a globally renowned innovation highland.
Nowadays, walking on the streets of Shenzhen, you can not only see industrial parks representing top technology, but also encounter contiguous mountains, seas, and green spaces in the city center. The bustling skyscrapers blend seamlessly with the coastal ecological landscape. There is no heavy historical burden here, but it has the freshest innovative atmosphere. The population structure with an average age of over thirty keeps the entire city youthful and energetic. This city has created a rare miracle in the history of world urban development in just a few decades, and still maintains vigorous growth vitality to this day.
