Built on 36 square kilometers, Optics Valley Central City was designed by SOM Company of the United States to be a complex of financial institutions, corporate headquarters, offices, entertainment, and high-end residences.

It intends to be a high-tech business center and a headquarters area of high-tech innovation companies from the province and central China. 

By borrowing the idea of “small neighborhoods and high-density road network” from Chicago, the City was constructed as a well-knit community of commercial centers and residential zones, with its nodes based on its three subway lines and streetcars.
