Driving Global Urban Development

On the occasion of World Cities Day 2025, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. proudly reiterates its commitment to fostering sustainable urban development. The company focuses on the creation of people-centric smart cities worldwide, aligning with the United Nations’ theme for the day. As urbanization accelerates globally, with projections indicating that nearly 70% of the world’s population will reside in cities by 2050, the challenges of this growth are becoming more pronounced. Issues like traffic congestion, aging infrastructure, and the necessity for sustainable urban planning demand innovative solutions.

Zoomlion recognizes that cities must evolve into more integrated environments that prioritize the needs of their residents. With this vision, the company is actively participating in various landmark construction projects that aim to revolutionize urban landscapes. In the Middle East, for instance, Zoomlion is playing a crucial role in Saudi Arabia’s urban modernization efforts, particularly in the Quadro City Project and the iconic Mukaab building in Riyadh—one of the tallest climate-controlled structures globally. Utilizing its state-of-the-art ZR420GW rotary drilling rig, Zoomlion addresses challenging deep rock foundations, complemented by on-site engineering support and rapid response for specialized parts.

In Africa, Zoomlion contributed significantly to the development of New Alamein City in Egypt, home to Africa's tallest concrete residential tower. Furthermore, the company has engaged in the construction of the country's new administrative capital, showcasing its commitment to infrastructure development across the continent. Its expansion in Africa is evident as over 90% of its 300-plus staff in the region are locally hired, ensuring that the workforce reflects the communities they serve.

Additionally, Zoomlion's involvement stretches into projects such as the Rosso Bridge connecting Senegal and Mauritania, stadium construction in Chad, and a landmark headquarters for the FIFA World Cup 2030 in Morocco. In Asia, their contributions support the Pan-Borneo Highway in Malaysia, designed to enhance urban-rural connectivity.

In eastern China, Zoomlion’s largest full-casing drilling platform is professionally facilitating the Xitang River Drinking Water Project in Suzhou. This initiative is significant for improving urban water safety and environmental resilience, aligning with the company’s broader environmental goals.

As the global community gears towards smarter urban spaces, Zoomlion is resolute in fostering innovation and local collaboration. The company’s approach underscores their understanding that sustainable urban transformation requires not just advanced technology, but a holistic focus on empowering communities. Through progressive practices and a commitment to long-term goals, Zoomlion stands as a catalyst for urban change in the pursuit of creating intelligent, inclusive, and sustainable cities.

In conclusion, as we celebrate World Cities Day 2025, Zoomlion exemplifies how industry leaders can guide urban development towards a future that prioritizes both technological advancement and the invaluable human experience.
