An updated edition of Shenzhen maps, 2020 Atlas of Shenzhen, was released Wednesday ahead of the 40th anniversary of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The atlas, a collection of maps of Shenzhen, illustrates the city’s achievements over 40 years from economic, ecological, social, environmental, cultural and geographic perspectives.
The atlas was designed by Wang Jiaoyao and Guo Renzhong, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering(中国工程院院士). It covers not only traditional geographic data, but also vast amounts of data relating to the ecological environment, scientific innovation, education, medical care, elderly care, housing, public facilities(设施), greenways and parks.
Some “dark technologies” in mapping, such as night light remote sensing imaging and indirect photography MESH model, have been applied. Shenzhen is the first Chinese city that has realized production of a citywide real-time 3D model. It presents the city’s skylines and skyscrapers from Futian CBD towards Nanshan District. It allows people to immerse(沉浸) themselves into Shenzhen’s spatial(空间的) environment and experience the urban glamour(魅力) personally. It provides a strong visual impact to viewers by presenting the urban areas and their construction from a 45-degree angle.
Nan Zhaoxu, a scholar in nature and the history of Shenzhen, was the first citizen to receive the atlas. “I am glad that my suggestions on environment protection were taken into consideration. It is the first atlas in China that adopted environment-friendly materials and techniques that reduce pollution and save energy,” said Nan.
