It covers an area of 58 square miles (150 km2), nearly the same as that of San Francisco and is expected to expand to 193 square miles (500 km2) and a population of 5 million by 2020.[1]
In 2001, the city government commissioned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa to draw up a comprehensive urban plan for Zhengdong.[1]
