Response to outcry over compounds
Print Edition
PLANS to open gated residential compounds to traffic will be implemented “gradually” and after public consultation, China’s housing ministry said yesterday.
It was responding to a public outcry after central authorities issued a document on urban development problems, including traffic congestion.
The document called for easier access to streets and blocks, saying no more gated residential compounds would be built and roads in existing compounds would be put to public use.
But yesterday the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued a statement saying that the directive did not put forward specifics and local governments will “definitely solicit public opinion.”
Most cities in China have residential communities encircled by walls, keeping traffic out and restricting entry for security reasons.
The ministry said walled residential communities and public institutions are problematic as they can affect the road network and are among the key reasons for traffic jams.
