Relocated residents to get new housing in September
3/6/2003 14:27


Shanghai's first batch of 4,000 housing units reserved for people relocating due to urban construction will be offered in September this year, according to the Shanghai Housing Development Bureau yesterday.

To date, roofs have been sealed on the 4,000 housing units, with a total area of nearly 300,000 square meters, which are for residents relocating due to construction of large public projects such as rail transportation and public greenbelts.

Construction of water, electricity, gas and communications facilities in the 4,000 housing units is currently in full swing.

Shanghai plans to construct a total of 1.08 million square meters of housing for relocated residents this year, with one million square meters expected to be complete by the end of the year. The projects are located in seven bases near the city's outer ring road.

Such properties will be sold to relocating residents, just as with other commercial properties.
