Beijing districts take measures to reduce population
Print Edition
THE number of permanent residents in six core districts in Beijing is expected to drop for the first time this year, as the overcrowded capital seeks to control population growth.
Officials in the Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and Shijingshan districts proposed measures to limit population growth at a meeting on the removal of non-essential functions from the city.
They included crackdowns on subletting of residential and commercial property, illegal use of underground space, illegal transformation of homes into shops, and the closure of wholesale markets.
Nanluoguxiang Lane, known for its well-preserved quadrangle courtyards, and Gui Jie, a street of popular restaurants, and areas surrounding the Palace Museum will be among priority areas in Dongcheng where measures will be taken to reduce population density.
The district aims to reduce its permanent resident population by 32,000 this year.
Beijing plans to cap its permanent population at 23 million by 2020, with the population in the six core districts 15 percent below 2014 levels.
Defined as people who have lived in the city for six months or more, the permanent population of Beijing was 21.7 million at the end of last year.
