Shanghai will increase the numbers of properties specifically for residents
relocating this year due to urban construction, today's Youth Post
reported.
Shanghai has completed the construction of 3.05 million square
meters of properties for the relocated to date.
The city has set a goal for
the local real estate market to focus more on mid and low-income families
purchasing homes for residential purposes. Based on this goal, local housing and
land resources departments will adjust market structures to avoid excessive
housing price increases.
In a bid to increase the supplies of properties for
the relocated, the housing and land resources department not only is selecting
more sites for property construction in Baoshan, Jiading, Nanhui and Kangqiao
areas, but establishing new sites within 14 square kilometers around the city's
Outer Ring Road as well.
Including the housing areas offered for the
relocated in the suburban areas, construction of nearly 10 million square meters
of new properties will begin this year.
