The detailed
construction plan to turn the Waigaoqiao area in Pudong District into an
environmentally-friendly new town was approved yesterday, and will be put into
operation by the end of this year.
In the planned 14.05-square-kilometer new
town, enclosed by the Jinqiao Export Processing Zone and Waigaoqiao Free Trade
Zone, there will be a multi-functional public center with administrative
offices, business, entertainment and educational facilities available.
A
5.74-square-kilometer greenery space will also be developed by 2008, with the
area equal to that of two Century Parks.
Two lakes will be constructed in
the greenery space to link it to the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River.
The project, with a basic framework to be complete by 2010, will achieve its
finished product by 2020. The construction of the town will improve the
urbanization level of the suburbs and create more job opportunities for farmers.
