2015 年，国务院同意陕西省承办 2021 年第十四届全国运动会。2016 年，西安奥体中心选址西安国际港务区。这座曾作为丝绸之路起始之都的千年古城，一带一路蓝图之下的中国陆港，以第 14 届全国运动会为契机，再次迎来城市高质量发展的契机。

As was approved by the State Council in 2015, Shaanxi Province would hold the Fourteenth National Games of People’s Republic of China in 2021; in 2016, Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park was selected as the site of Xi’an Olympic Sports Center. As the birth cradle of the Silk Road, and a land port in China on the blueprint of the Belt and Road Initiative, this ancient city with a long history of thousands of years, takes the Fourteenth National Games as an opportunity and embraces another chance for the high-quality development of the city.

西安奥体中心作为十四运的主场馆所在地，坐落于灞河之畔，由“一场两馆”三座主体建筑构成，总面积 57.5 公顷，是国际标准的体育中心，是生态、开放、多元的城市公园，也是西安向世界发出的一张城市新名片。

As the main venue of the Fourteenth National Games, Xi’an Olympic Sports Center is situated on the bank of Ba River. Consisted of three main buildings, i.e., one stadium, one natatorium and one gymnasium, it covered a total area of 57.5 hectares. It is a sports center that conforms to the international standard, a city park that is ecological, open and pluralistic, and a new calling card that Xi’an presents to the whole world.

“大山之下”，“广川之上”，“择天下之中而立国 ”，自周人营国之始，中轴统领的中国城市传统格局一直嬗变沿革至今。

作为十三朝古都的西安，中轴贯通，里坊规整的空间结构已作为城市的历史基因不断的发展，传统的单轴线空间结构也随着城市规模的不断拓展形成三轴三带的基本格局。

西安奥体中心选址即位于西安国际开放轴的东拓段，在区域自然格局和城市空间层面均具有重要地位。

A nation should be built “at the foot of the mountains”, “on the vast plain with rivers”, and “in the middle of the world”. Since people in the Zhou Dynasty began to establish and manage the nation, the traditional city pattern dominated by axes has been in a course of constant change, development and evolution up till now. As the historical gene of the city, the spatial structure with an axis passing through and residential areas interspersing neatly keeps developing in Xi’an, an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. The traditional spatial structure of a single axis evolves into a basic pattern of three axes and three belts as the city continuously expands. Located on the east extension area of Xi’an international open axis, Xi’an Olympic Sports Center occupies an important position in terms of natural pattern of the region and urban space.

从城市空间层面，以基地为始的奥体绿色生长轴，东至港务大道，是融合文创科技、商业商贸、总部集群等功能的城市发展中心带；从自然景观层面，西连灞河，东望骊山，是联结山河，引导区域空间与生态格局城市景观通廊。

因此，基地在空间结构上契合了城市轴线，以中轴为主导，横贯东西，形成古城文化背景下特有的空间仪式感；以森林公园为整体基调，继承区域格局中山水的对话关系，衔接灞水，融于山、水、城之中，形成水体、公园、城市一脉相承、层层递进景观序列，也奠定了城市轴线城绿相融的基调。
