City to ensure mid and low-cost properties
24/2/2004 14:50

Shanghai will guarantee mid and low-priced properties reserved for residents relocating due to urban construction, according to the Shanghai Housing and Land Resources Administrative Bureau yesterday, the Labor Post reported.
Lands used for properties inside the city's Inner Ring Road will account for 20 percent of the total, with the proportion reaching 40 percent for those between the local Inner Ring Road and Outer Ring Road and outside the Outer Ring Road respectively, according to the bureau.
Shanghai has enhanced the market mechanism for local land supplies over the past several years, and made full use of its limited land resources, guaranteeing the land for key project construction.
The city will further strengthen its control on land supplies, putting a lid on land use for real estate projects and trying to find ways to withdraw lands left unused.
