The knowledge city base is located in the north of Luogang District, Guangzhou, about 35 kilometers away from the city center of Guangzhou and 25 kilometers away from Guangzhou New Baiyun International Airport. The planning area is bordered by Zhongluotan town in Baiyun District in the north, Guanghe Expressway under construction in the south, Zhongxin town in Zengcheng City in the East and Maofeng Mountain Provincial Scenic Spot in the West.

As the center of the construction of China new knowledge city, the main urban area will be built into a "smart hub, ecological water city"

Knowledge "network": the knowledge network is formed by intercity railway, rail transit and expressway, which becomes the connection with Guangzhou central area, Baiyun Airport and Pearl River Delta city. The main urban area is connected with different characteristic areas by three horizontal, three vertical and six main roads. Each area has an urban boulevard leading to waterfront space, which effectively combines urban texture with adjacent water environment

Knowledge "inheritance": Lingnan water town is an important material culture reflecting the regional characteristics of Lingnan. In order to inherit this traditional culture, the knowledge city will fully reflect the texture characteristics of Lingnan water town, and truly achieve "living by water, street by water, and city by water".

As Singapore's excellent development experience, Tod's development model will also optimize land use, form a regional core, and promote the improvement of the environment and quality of life.

Knowledge "economy": the main urban area will have the biological and health industry area, cultural and creative industry area with the leading function of industry, as well as multiple composite areas with complementary functions. The core area will become the "brain" of the whole region as the gathering of knowledge finance and regional industrial headquarters.

Knowledge "ecology": Knowledge City integrates water into the city and uses it to define the new image of the city. In order to ensure the water quality, we will combine the greening system with the water filtration, the precipitation runoff will be collected, and before the rainwater flows into the water, the water will be purified through the public space in the plot and the large public park. Forming an ecosystem of green core, green line and green ring.
