梅林街道成立于1983年，位于福田区北部，为深圳市、福田区“十四五”规划“深圳智谷”核心区域，现行政区划下辖新阁、翰岭、孖岭、梅都、梅亭、上梅、新兴、梅丰、龙尾、梅河、梅林一村、下梅、梅京13个社区和上、下梅林2个集体股份公司，共有住宅小区109个、城中村小区7个，常住人口约21.67万人，户籍人口10.40万人。

　　一、区位优势

　　梅林街道位于深圳中心城区福田区北端、地处城市中轴，北接龙华，东邻罗湖、西连南山，四区交汇（福田区、罗湖区、南山区、龙华区），三山环抱（塘朗山、梅林山、银湖山），三水辉映（梅林水库、莲塘尾水库、禾镰坑水库），辖区面积21.18平方公里，占福田27%，其中山林面积9.67平方公里，约占全区3/4，是福水之源、中心城区制高点，素有半城山水、福田后花园美誉。

　　二、发展定位

　　梅林片区早期发展定位为制造业基地，是福田区为数不多的工业厂房集中区域，“十四五”期间，被市、区规划定位为“深圳智谷”，重点发展智能终端、人工智能、金融科技、生活消费等相关产业。“十五五”时期，将紧紧围绕“城央梅林，中轴智谷”总体定位，依托中轴区位优势，深度融合智慧创新、山水生态、文化底蕴等资源要素，塑造引领未来的现代化街区样板，为福田加快建设社会主义现代化典范城区和中国式现代化典范城区提供坚实支撑和街区范例。

　　Established in 1983, Meilin Subdistrict is located in the northern part of Futian District. It forms the core area of the “Shenzhen Smart Valley” designated under the 14th Five-Year Plan of both the Shenzhen Municipal Government and the Futian District Government. The subdistrict currently administers 13 communities---Xinge, Hanling, Ziling, Meidu, Meiting, Shangmei, Xinxing, Meifeng, Longwei, Meihe, Meilin Yicun, Xiamei, and Meijing---as well as two collective shareholding companies, Shangmeilin and Xiameilin. Within its jurisdiction are 109 residential estates and 7 urban village communities. The subdistrict has a permanent resident population of approximately 216,700, including a registered household population of approximately 104,000.

　　I. Geographical Advantages

　　Meilin Subdistrict is located at the northern end of Futian District, the central urban area of Shenzhen, and lies along the city’s central axis. It borders Longhua District to the north, Luohu District to the east, and Nanshan District to the west, serving as a convergence point of four districts---Futian, Luohu, Nanshan, and Longhua. Surrounded by three mountains---Tanglang Mountain, Meilin Mountain, and Yinhu Mountain---and complemented by three reservoirs---Meilin Reservoir, Liantangwei Reservoir, and Helienkeng Reservoir---the subdistrict covers a total area of 21.18 square kilometers, accounting for approximately 27% of Futian District’s total area. Of this, 9.67 square kilometers are covered by mountainous forests, representing nearly three-quarters of the district’s total forest area. As the source area of the Futian water system and the highest point in the central urban area, Meilin Subdistrict is widely known as the “Garden of Futian” for its unique landscape featuring mountains and waters integrated with the city.

　　II. Development Positioning

　　In its early stage of development, the Meilin area was positioned as a manufacturing hub and became one of the few areas in Futian District with a concentration of industrial plants. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, it was designated by both the municipal and district governments as the “Shenzhen Smart Valley,” with a focus on developing industries including smart terminals, artificial intelligence, financial technology, and consumer services. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Meilin Subdistrict will remain firmly committed to the overall positioning of “Central Meilin, Smart Valley on the Urban Axis.” Leveraging its strategic location along Shenzhen’s central axis, the subdistrict will further integrate resources and strengths in smart innovation, ecological landscapes, and cultural heritage to create a model of a future-oriented modern urban neighborhood. It will provide solid support and serve as a replicable neighborhood model for Futian District’s efforts to accelerate the development of a model district for socialist modernization and a model district for Chinese-style modernization.
