28/7/2003 15:12


An 110,000-square meters Czech-style residence area will be built in Xujing Town, Qingpu District in Shanghai's southwest, which adds to Shanghai's fame as a multinational style architects exposition.

Tu Haiming, member of the Shanghai People's Political Consultative Conference, signed contract with chairman Czech National Architects Association and another five Czech architects in Prague yesterday, relegating the art designing and scheming of the residence to them.

Building of the residence is part of the Sino-Czech economic, trade and culture exchange and cooperation project. Czech artists and architects will take charge of the scheming and design work of the residence area.

Visiting SPPCC chairman Jia Yiren was present at yesterday's sign ceremony in Prague. Construction of the Czech-style residence in Shanghai will bridge the economic and culture relations between the two nations, Jiang said, and will enhance their cooperation in business, culture, architecture and arts.
