[5] The Italian architects Gregotti Associati produced the plan for the new town, with a total area of 15 square kilometres,[6] laid out in a grid pattern.

A 2.6 square kilometre section in the north of the town was built by developer Highpower-OCT Investment,[7] with the continuing involvement of Gregotti, as well as other Italian architects.

It contains Caohejing Export Processing Zone,[12] Pujiang Intelligence Valley Business Park,[13] and Shanghai National 863 Software Incubator Base.
