It is estimated that 20 new “super” shopping malls will open this year in Shenzhen with half of them in the northern Longhua District. New land development and transport infrastructure in the district are the leading stimulators. A 70,000m2 mall named “1866 Zuolinghui” was opened near Longhua’s first “Zuolingxiangsong Super Shopping Centre” on May 1st, both developed by ‘Living Group’ which is also the developer of the Shahe Urban Village Regeneration Project. Longhua has several newly developed high - end residential areas housing many company executives, however the supermarkets and department stores in the area are not geared to the needs of the changing population, resulting in numerous consumers heading to central districts for shopping.
