Beijing admin offices gearing up for suburban move
Print Edition
Beijing will move many of its city administration offices out of the city center to the eastern suburb of Tongzhou, with 鈥渟ubstantial progress鈥 by 2017, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning announced yesterday.
Building a new municipal subsidiary administrative center in Tongzhou, about 40 minutes drive from the city center, will draw approximately 400,000 urban residents from city center to the district in the future, the commission said.
The move will help the capital ease urban problems, such as slowing the city鈥檚 population growth and moving out some of Beijing鈥檚 non-capital functions, according to the commission.
To accommodate Tongzhou District鈥檚 new residents, the capital will improve public services such as medical care and education in the district.
鈥淔or example, we will build better communal facilities, including top-grade hospitals and primary and middle schools, and more green spaces in Tongzhou so as to attract people to work and stay in the suburb,鈥 said Wang Fei, deputy director of the commission.
Beijing will also upgrade roads between urban centers and Tongzhou to increase traffic flow, he said.
In addition to the city鈥檚 administrative shift, the move is also expected to drive other functions such as tourist and commercial properties to move to the new administrative center.
