The Huaqiao TOD is located in Huaqiao Town, Kunshan. It is the core area connecting Suzhou and Shanghai, as well as the transportation hub of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, with an excellent geographical location. However, due to unbalanced development, Huaqiao town is more like a service area for Shanghai and Suzhou, with a small resident population, few industry types, and an underdeveloped tertiary industry. Therefore, a lot of people choose to live in Huaqiao but work in Shanghai or Suzhou, makes Huaqiao town a ‘Bedroom town’. How to solve the problem of ‘bedroom town’ is the vital challenge of this design. Huaqiao station, which located at the junction of the Shanghai No.11 metro and Suzhou S1 line, is the key to the dilemma.

Equipped with a full set of support systems, which integrates work, shopping, living, leisure, education, and medical care, aiming to build a TOD future city with a full life cycle, Huaqiao TOD forms a modern production, living and ecological area with self-circulation function. The 24-7 futurism city will awaken the ‘bedroom city’ Huaqiao.

The Huaqiao TOD planning is designed with a planning idea of ‘three axes, one core’. Taking the three-dimensional transportation hub as the core of the planning organization, it connects the residential, commercial and office functions in the area and spread out to the whole town, so as to retain the existing urban context and provide comprehensive amenities for the city. A variety of public commercial functions are carried out around transportation hubs. Shopping malls,  exhibition halls, art galleries, kindergartens, and other large urban public functions provide a wealth of urban activities, so as to condense the vitality of the city. Different scales of public areas formed by the enclosure of different buildings will provide varies of activity possibilities. Amenities set in every corner of the block make lives in communities much easier. Equipped with sports parks, roof gardens, watering landscape, and in-block-garden, the TOD planning ensures the theme of sustainable urban greening and also echoes the regional context of Huaqiao Town.

NAN设计的花桥TOD片区规划位于昆山市花桥镇，是链接苏州与上海的核心区域，也是江浙沪的交通枢纽，地理位置极其优异。但是，由于发展不均衡，花桥镇的产业以服务上海、苏州为主，常住人口较少，产业类型不多，第三产业不够发达。因此，大量的人口选择在花桥置业，但在上海、苏州进行工作生产，形成了“卧城”的城市状态。如何破解“卧城”的困局是本项目设计的核心挑战。而花桥站地处上海11号地铁与苏州S1轨交接处，是破局的关键点。

花桥TOD配备全套支撑系统即集工作、购物、居住、休闲、教育、医养为一体、旨在打造一个全生命周期的TOD未来城。通过形成具有自循环功能的现代生产、生活、生态片区，这个24小时的活力之城将唤醒沉睡依旧的“卧城”花桥。

花桥TOD未来城的规划采用了“三轴一心”的放射式规划结构。以立体交通枢纽作为规划组织核心连接片区内的居住、商业与办公功能的同时向城市辐射输送活力，承接现有城市脉络，为城市提供全面的配套设施。各种公共商业功能围绕交通枢纽展开，商场/街区商业/展览馆/艺术馆/幼儿园等大型城市公共功能，提供丰富的城市活动，从而凝聚城市活力。主要公共功能建筑围合产生的不同尺度的公共广场将产生多种丰富的城市活动，同时各个围合的街区内设有社区便利配套服务设施让社区的生活更加便利。园区内配有运动立体公园，屋顶绿化运动场地与水文景观，街心花园等生态设施，保证城市绿化可持续发展主题的同时也呼应了花桥镇的地域文脉。
