Shougang Park can be characterized first and foremost for the internationalization of its top-level design. 

Based on research conducted together with professional institutions, the Park is planned and highlighted as an industrialized urban community with international influence, guided by the Winter Olympic Games and the preservation and utilization of industrial relics. 

The second feature of the Park is the urbanization of its functions.

The planning of the International Talent Community's core area has closely combined Metro Line M11 with commerce and office facilities, and is equipped with internationalized service facilities such as high-end international talent apartments, healthcare management, and nursery schools among others. 

The third point of interest is high-end support facilities. 

As the Winter Olympic Games approach, new infrastructure projects such as a smart communication hub and cloud broadcasting have kicked off one after another. AI demonstration applications such as unmanned vehicles have likewise been put into operation. Finally, business facilities such as cafés, bars and international hotels have opened. 

A fourth area to consider is systematic global publicity. 

Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the Winter Olympic Games, Shougang Park has successively held activities such as the Air and Style World Cup and the "Belt and Road" Global Youth Leaders Summit. Moreover, Shougang Park has been actively exploring options for establishing overseas publicity channels.

Finally, the diversification of business platforms mustn't be forgotten. 

The overseas academician expert workstation in Innovation Center of Dream Incubator of Overseas Chinese has brought in 22 overseas academic experts and 11 enterprises. The China-Europe Innovation Park has issued a batch of reserved projects. High-quality projects such as Tencent Sports, Sky Limit Entertainment and Intel Winter Olympics Innovation Center have successively been established.

Following preliminary work, the New Shougang International Talent Community has taken on an internationalized urban form. Shougang Park's next aim will be to put three priorities in place to facilitate the building of a new landmark for the rejuvenation of China's capital city. 

The first step will entail the establishment of space-carrier construction and supporting services.

The second will involve service industry expansion and opening-up policies and will look to make the most of the opportunities provided by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics to enhance exchanges and cooperation in sports, culture, and science and technology among others.

The third step will call for the building of an innovation and entrepreneurship platform and the development of a China-Europe Innovation Park to foster expansion of the career platform for international talents.
