［Objective］Against the backdrop of urban agglomeration and metropolitan area development, territorial spatial governance, and the construction of a strong transportation nation, the characteristics and modes of passenger travel are becoming increasingly complex. It is necessary to study and leverage the role of passenger transport hubs in regional integration, spatial governance, and system coordination, in order to achieve an orderly expansion of spatial industries in metropolitan areas, a high-quality and intensive utilization of national territorial space, and the efficient organization of multi-level passenger travel.［Method］First, an evaluation framework for the existing passenger transport hub system in Shenzhen is established to assess passenger travel demands and characteristics, the functional hierarchy and construction concepts of passenger transport hub system are clarified, and goals of the passenger transport hub system are proposed, including efficient and smooth domestic and international connectivity, promotion of regional coordinated development, support for efficient urban governance, and integrated multi-network transportation. Second, a technical method for planning hub layout that integrates ′station-city-people′ is formulated. Factors such as centrality level, development density, interchange nodes, and travel hotspots are used as indicators for hub identification classification, and a qualitative and quantitative comprehensive evaluation is conducted to determine the layout of major hubs. Finally, differentiated development strategies for passenger transport hubs are explored to promote efficient hub system organization and high-quality governance of the surrounding land use.［Result & Conclusion］It is suggested to improve the urban functions of Shenzhen passenger transport hub one step further from three dimensions: the transportation dimension, further coordination is required regarding operating entities, system standards, and spatial implementation to achieve rail transit multi-network integration centered on passenger transport hubs; the urban dimension, detailed national spatial planning should guide the coordinated development of land around transport hubs; the regional dimension, industrial and land-use planning related to key intercity corridors and passenger transport hubs in Shenzhen metropolitan area needs to be optimized.
