Good-bye decrepitude
Print Edition
Nearly 900 families living in Pengsan, a typical old residential warren without elevators or private toilets, will be saying farewell to cramped living conditions.
Under a major renovation, seven apartment buildings of between five and 18 floors will be built to replace 11 ramshackle buildings in the next three years. More than 96 percent of residents have agreed with the plan and will start relocating to temporary residences.
Currently, two or three families share one kitchen, and as many as 10 share a single toilet. Some families lived more or less without any natural light. When it rains, water leaks in from the roof to the top floor, and ground pumps are regularly used on the ground floor during flooding.
The new buildings will be built with elevators, terraces and underground garages. All the apartments will be entirely self-contained.
