Relocated families have new home
25/12/2003 14:40
Construction of the city's one million square meters of residential
properties slate for residents relocating due to urban construction have been
completed ahead of schedule, with more than 13,000 families having new homes,
the Shanghai Morning Post reported today.
Such residential properties are
mainly located at both sides of the city's Outer-Ring-Road, reserved for more
than 13,000 families relocating to purchase at lower prices.
The 13,000
families are mainly relocated to pave a way for the city's rail transportation
project, green-belt construction and the development work along the both sides
of the Huangpu River.
"I have my own home and bed now," said Zhao Yonghu, a
five-year-old child, who moved to his new home together with his parents in
Pudong District half a month ago.
"Our room is larger than before, and there
is a supermarket near our home, which gives us convenience," said Miao Peixiang,
Zhao's mother.
"Our old home has a history of 50 years, and we have to share
our washroom with our neighbors," Miao said.
Shanghai will continue to
enhance the pace of rebuilding old areas, and plan to construct three million
square meters of residential properties every year in the coming three years.
