More than a stadium
As a multifunctional district with generous green spaces, the Olympic Sports Centre provides the basis for sustainable community living. The comprehensive planning includes the urban master plan and the design of the athletics stadium for international competitions, accommodating over 60,000 spectators. It also encompasses the planning of a multipurpose sports hall, an Olympic swimming pool, a shopping mall, a Cineplex cinema, and a convention center.

A triangular public park forms the heart of the entire complex. By elevating the park, it allows for the placement of technical infrastructure, parking facilities, and other special functions below. The distinctive shape of the Olympic Stadium and the elevated park mark the intersection of important urban axes in Wenzhou.
