Shanghai eyes comprehensive urban plan

SHANGHAI’S blueprint for its urbanization and construction over the next three decades will focus on sustainable growth, improved people’s living conditions and a clearer cultural identity, Xiao Lin, director of the city government’s development research center, said yesterday.

“Shanghai is set to become a metropolitan (city) in the future,” Xiao said during a forum on sustainable development hosted by the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

“We are working on a comprehensive plan for Shanghai’s further urbanization, and it will guide the city to become better structured in economy, more environment-friendly and more distinguishable in culture,” Xiao said.

Shanghai will innovate to drive its economic restructuring, Xiao said, adding that any achievements should not be at the expense of the environment.

“Shanghai will enhance efforts to fight pollution, and people may expect clearer air, water and soil in the future,” Xiao said.
