By studying the development trend of international CBD, this plan shapes the Racecourse area into a pioneering cultural living room of Guangzhou, different from Zhujiang New City, and presents a boundaryless gathering place for all-time sharing of diversified communities by implanting the four major functions of consumption+sports and leisure (Charming Neighbourhood), community+artistic experience (Fireworks Neighbourhood), innovation+science and technology exchanges (Sci-Innovation Neighbourhood), and business+cultural experience (City Living Room).

In terms of urban spatial image, on the basis of preserving the cultural heritage of the Racecourse, the programme establishes a city landmark cluster linking the twin parks on the east side to lead the city skyline, and a group of humble cultural clusters on the north side to continue the urban cultural axis of Jinan University. At the same time, combining the actual situation of the neighbourhood and the public demand, the four directions undertake the industrial power to form the Four Elephants Pioneer Cultural Theme Neighbourhoods, and the central rainbow corridor and the Green Core Park connect the four neighbourhoods to form a new image of the eastern part of the Pearl River New City.
