From parking jam to rooftop jam: Beijing's dual-use hub

This looks like an outdoor concert, but it's actually a parking garage. On the rooftop, music plays right above 2,000 parked two-wheelers. Opened in July 2026, this building is Beijing's sub-center's first mixed-use facility combining bike parking with a rooftop garden. It offers an innovative urban-governance solution to the parking crunch facing Beijing's 12 million registered non-motorized vehicles.
