The three cities originally connected by the Xiangjiang River are now integrating into one urban area. The urban form is turning into a ‘City Loop’, with an ecological ‘Green Heart’ in the middle. This regional integration strategy is implemented upon a very strong infrastructural network, connecting the main cities within the region to the rest of the country.
According to the new urban regulations, the central area of the new Yung Long town where this business park project is located, appears as the centre of the new development on the urban scale. The new masterplan will be programmatically linked to the consolidated city centre of Zhuzhou, yet it will create a new functional centre for the satellite city. The program portrays a multifunctional business oriented heart that will centralize the activities, becoming the new city centre for the adjoining areas, respectively the leisure/ tourisme epicenter and the administrative/ logistic epicenter.
As said, in this network of macro-areas within the new town, the central cluster plays an epicentric role, being heart between the Institutional development to the south and the Leisure pole to the north. For this reason it is possible to portray a leading role of this central cluster, giving attention to its multifunctional vocation.
Following the national highway that brings from Zhuzhou ti Changsha and the regional airport, the central area of Yong Long town can define a necklace of public program specializations that could help the sequence of projects work as a network, without competing with each other. In this context, based on the functional destination of the Yung Long International New Digital Technology Park, we can propose to focus on the Congress-Exhibition facilities, making the masterplan a leading destination for business oriented services.

自古以来，长沙，株洲与湘潭依湘江紧密联系。随着三市经济发展与城市扩张，以及提高这个城市群在全国等级上的核心竞争力，一体化发展战略成为了至关重要的宏观规划。从城市化形态上，长株潭区域日趋形成一个包含生态“绿心”的“环形都市圈”，其骨架不断完善的城际融合及辐射全国的立体交通设施网络。

根据新的城市法规，新云龙镇的商业市中心在城市规划的尺度上将出现了新的可发展空间。在新的总体规划中将该城镇中心与株洲市中心相连，届时云龙镇中心区将会成为这座卫星城市的城市中心。该规划描绘了一个多功能的城市中心并将周边活动相集中，与之相邻的将是休闲/旅游和行政/后勤中心。

从宏观角度来思考新的城市中心，中央群落起着凝聚力的作用，作为南部相关机构发展和北部休闲娱乐区域的心脏。正因为，中央集中的领导作用，可以为周边地区的提供更多多样性的就业岗位。

由于通过国道与株洲和长沙相连接并与机场相通，云龙镇中心区可以像为项链一般，链接整个区域网络，并且避免互相的竞争。在此背景下，立足于云龙镇国际新数码科技园的功能目的，我们可以设想将重点放在云龙示范区域，并使得总体规划领导整个商业圈导向。
