Chengdu Hi-tech Zone also proposed to achieve an industry scale of over hundreds of billions by 2021,and establish a world-class internet audio & video industry cluster area by 2025.

As the key project of the latest Internet Audio & Video Industry Plan in Chengdu Hi-tech Zone,Gazelle Valley Garden Community Urban Design Plan was also released for the first time in the forum. With a planned area of 4.6 km2,it is positioned as the most complete digital culture creative + fintech urban community in the industrial ecology of mid-western China.
