1 Farewell to rundown homes
Print Edition
Early this month, people living in an old neighborhood in downtown Jing’an finally said goodbye to their cramped, decrepit quarters.
The neighborhood, sandwiched between relatively new and modern residential apartments, is the last crumbling neighborhood remaining on Kangding Road in the Caojiadu subdistrict.
Due to unstable structures, the old houses shook when heavy trucks rumbled past. Many residents lived in cramped space without private kitchens or toilets.
The neighborhood was zoned for urban renewal in December 2017. So far, more than 99 percent of residents have agreed to be relocated. They began moving out to new homes in the suburbs this month.
Subdistrict officials said experts will be dispatched to examine the condition of the shikumen buildings after residents leave. Those with historical value will be preserved. Plans for future development are still being discussed by authorities.
