In Shenzhen, the surprise isn't the tech -- it's the green

Shenzhen, known for hosting technology giants like Huawei, BYD, and DJI, is transforming its image by emphasizing environmental sustainability. The city has significantly increased its electric vehicle (EV) usage, with over 28% of registered vehicles being electric as of late 2024, and nearly all new cars sold being electric. Shenzhen also leads globally by electrifying its entire public bus fleet since 2017 and most taxis. Local companies like BYD, which originated as a battery manufacturer in Shenzhen, contribute to this green shift. Additionally, the city is expanding its network of parks, aiming to become a 'City of a Thousand Parks' with over 1,350 parks by 2035. This initiative includes connecting natural landscapes with urban areas through greenways, making nature accessible within minutes for residents.
