Revival | Chen Keshi: Urban architecture is the embodiment of natural environment and traditional culture.
Taking the life experience of living in London as an example, Chen Keshi believes that both London and Shenzhen are typical immigrant cities, which stimulate innovative vitality in a pluralistic context. He said that Shenzhen, with the strong support of national policies, has unlimited potential for development in urban cultural creativity in the future.It is believed that the development of creative design in Shenzhen can also drive the cultural construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area forward.
Chen Keshi believes that the creativity of a city needs the support of space, and that the design of urban space should be people-oriented and based on the quality of life of citizens. As a crowded big city, more pedestrian urban space should be created to meet the leisure, vacation and creative life of citizens.
From the perspective of urban architecture, he believes that Shenzhen's urban design has two important creative starting points. First, it is based on the natural geographical characteristics of Shenzhen itself. As a coastal city, Shenzhen's urban construction should highlight the characteristics of the marine city, show the vitality and cultural characteristics of the coastal city, "transparent, bright, blue sea and blue sky" is her pronoun.The two is "modern interpretation of Chinese traditional culture". " Shenzhen is a young and avant-garde city, and many Western architectural styles are reflected in Shenzhen."Chen Keshi believes that in the modern context, the splendid architectural culture inherited from China for 5000 years should be embodied and carried forward in Shenzhen, so that this rising international metropolis can show the charm of Chinese traditional architectural culture to the world.".

People-oriented | Bob Lee: Urban planning should be people-oriented to create a livable living environment
Bob Lee talks about urban creativity from the perspective of urban planning. Taking Stockholm's urban design as an example, he introduced the characteristics of Stockholm's street design, some streets will prohibit vehicles from entering at certain times, so that people can enjoy urban life in leisure and safe space.

Urban planning can empower urban life, enable the environment to interact positively with residents, and encourage more interaction between people.All kinds of outdoor environmental facilities in cities should abandon the solidified thinking that park facilities are mainly provided for the elderly to exercise, and meet the needs of the elderly, young people, children, infants and other groups. Bob Lee believes that this kind of design should be integrated, through better functioning of public facilities, so as to close the relationship between people in the city.
