This round of city renewal , the North Railway Station is a beginning and a sign.

North Railway Station, Lotus Pond, Longmen Town and other sections have long been synonymous with "chaos".
Objectively speaking, the "chaos" at North Railway Station are mainly caused by three aspects.
: train stations are originally crowded, and days are difficult to manage, and it is easy to breed some illegal and disorderly phenomena, which is a common problem in almost all train stations.
The second is the industry that comes with the railway station, such as logistics, small commodity wholesale, etc. , the largest small commodity distribution center in the southwest region, Lotus Pond, is opposite the railway station.
And these wholesale markets also have large traffic, are complicated and difficult to manage.
Third, the railway's huge office and family courtyard area. These campuses cover a large area and have their own system, making it difficult for local governments to intervene. Any of the above three items are difficult and even unsolvable for local areas.
Therefore, starting from the North Railway Station, represents the determination to renew the city to some extent and is also a signal.
In October last year, after the demolition plan for the railway headquarters area was released, then in Cuijiadian, Jitou, Dongguang and other areas this year, the urban renewal drama has been staged.
But in fact, the time for the renovation of North Railway Station was much earlier than last year.
According to Sichuan Transportation Broadcast , the North Railway Station began to be renovated in 2015, and the North Station and the private rooms were completed at the end of 2017.
The first phase of construction (demolition of existing station buildings and 1-5 channels, the new South Station buildings and 1-8 channels) and the second phase of construction (demolition of existing 6-11 channels and the new 9-18 channels) have actually started.
Currently, the construction of the station is to better promote the transformation work.
Through this transformation, Chengdu Station will introduce Chengdu-Chongqing Middle Line High-speed Railway . Chengdu Station is an online elevated waiting station with a total construction area of about 160,000 square meters, including: the construction area of the station building is about 80,000 square meters, 244 meters long from north to south, 152 meters wide from east to west, and a construction height of 48 meters; the waiting area of the elevated waiting floor is about 36,000 square meters.

Station house is divided into three floors: the basement floor is the outbound floor, the first floor above ground is the platform floor and the platform mezzanine, and the second floor above ground is the elevated waiting layer and the commercial mezzanine.
car park size is 10 units and 18 lines, namely: Chengdu-Chongqing Zhong Line Field 4 units and 7 lines, intercity yard 4 units and 9 lines, and hub ring field 2 units and 2 lines.
The elevated waiting layer of the station building has a drop-off platform, a drop-off lane, a city transit road, and a municipal upper square on the east and west sides;
The station will create an air garden on both sides of the station
The exit channel with a taxi waiting area and a taxi dedicated channel on the east and west sides;
The north side of the station building ofis a municipal bus hub and a long-distance hub, and the south side is a municipal South Square; the third phase of the
rail transit line 18 crosses the bottom of the station building in the north and south, and a subway station building is set up. There are transfer halls for Metro Line 1, Line 7 and Line 18 on the underground floor of the South Square; the east and west roads are provided with tunnels underway on the east and west roads on the east and west sides of the car park.
The future Chengdu station will become a three-dimensional cross-zero transfer super-large comprehensive transportation hub integrating intercity high-speed rail , urban express railway, subway and urban buses. The entire project is expected to be completed in early 2026.
In terms of station image design, Chengdu Station takes the concept of "the bamboo rhyme spread for thousands of years, and the flowers shine like brocade in Rongcheng". The overall concept focuses on the integration of Sichuan's impression and contemporary passenger transport comprehensive transportation hub buildings.
The main building constitutes the macro image of the "city gatehouse" on the axis, using the woven texture of bamboo weaving and Shujin as elements, and combining the "umbrella"-shaped units to form the image of the Chengdu city flower "hibiscus flower". At the same time, the main body skeleton forms a shape, forming the impression of "Kongming Lantern" floating in the night view.
It should be said that the modified Chengdu Station (North Railway Station) will be improved in terms of passenger volume and image.
As the starting station of Chengdu-Chongqing Middle Line High-speed Railway, Chengdu Station not only has the dividends of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities metropolitan area, but will also connect the entire Yangtze River middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River .
Chengdu-Chongqing Central Line goes toward
There is no doubt that its transformation is a big event for itself, for Jinniu District , and for Chengdu. The closure of
The closure of North Railway Station is the end of an era and the beginning of an era.
For residents near Jinniu District and North Station, taking this opportunity to update the city interface and create a North City business district will make the meaning more realistic.
In the various planning outlines released this year, the railway headquarters area is mentioned repeatedly, just like the Balizhuang area.
Railway headquarters area is located between the North Second Ring Road, the North Second Ring Road, the North Second Ring Road, Renmin North Road and North Station West Second Road. It was named because of the location of the headquarters of Chengdu Railway Bureau and is also a key area for this demolition.
In fact, the demolition of the four sections A, B, C and D that began last year has been considered the second stage. Earlier, some old buildings had been demolished in the railway headquarters area, and new projects such as Zhanbei Primary School, No. 17 Kindergarten, and Chengdu Railway Science and Technology Innovation Center were built.

and the former No. 5 Community, No. 5, No. 8, West San Lane, North Station, No. 10, and No. 16, have all been demolished, and the plots are leveled for commercial and residential land.
Demolition land
former courtyards and other courtyards, and now they have been used as temporary greening land and as reserve land for Renbei Central Park.
has been demolished and the scope to be demolished is marked.
plus the log factory (Fuhe Market) has now built new residential and commercial projects (Poly Times), and the appearance of the railway headquarters area has been greatly improved.
Now, with the beginning of the demolition project of 134 houses at the railway headquarters, more land will be released in the future.
Railway Headquarters Section C "stamped" building
At present, the intersection of Renbei Road and First Ring Road has presented a better urban interface. And with the migration of the Geological and Mineral Bureau to the south (to Xinglong Lake ), the building of the unit may also be demolished and used to create a new landmark building.
At this point, the entire Renbei Business District is basically clear: Chengdu Station Transportation Hub-Railway Headquarters-Renbei Road Golden Crossroad, a new section integrating transportation, commerce, office and residence.
This year, a commercial and residential land supply will also be supplied in this area.
is close to Renbei Road, and pure commercial land with a floor area ratio of 8.0 may also be sold this year.
In Chengdu’s planning for the Rongbei business district and Jinniu District’s own planning, the positioning of Renbei belongs to the extreme core area. With this historical opportunity, this old city will usher in a new life.
People North Business District General Flat Map
The transformation of the North Station is a historic moment and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it also depends on three uncertainties:
First point, The entire economic environment is unstable, it is not easy to demolish large numbers, and it is even more difficult to build large numbers.If you want to build a business district in people, it depends not only on hardware, but also on industry, population, and economic activities.
The difficulty is no less than building a new city.
The second point is that the inherent stubborn disease of has not been completely solved. is entrenched in large wholesale markets such as Lotus Pond and Wubishi around the North Station. On the one hand, it has brought huge economic effects to Jinniu District and solved a large number of employment. But on the other hand, there are many markets and mixed crowds, which not only affects the city’s image, but also makes it difficult to improve the industrial energy level, which is even more in line with the positioning of the city’s portal.
But at present, this problem still has no solution.
Third point, is still in a weak position in public opinion. This point of is very subjective and is also caused by the long-term accumulation of history, but it is very important.
Moreover, compared with cities such as Wuhan, Chengdu's urban renewal still lacks large-scale planning, only blooming at points, and lacks the momentum of continuous creation.
Of course, no matter what, North Station is finally developing in a good direction. For this, we can only wish and expect.
