BEIJING, May 15 (Xinhua) — China will vigorously and steadily push forward urban renewal projects, according to a policy document released Thursday.

The document, released by the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, aims to make significant progress in the urban renewal campaign by 2030. It sets goals to improve safety conditions, enhance service efficiency, enhance living environments, develop business models and protect cultural heritage.

It is noted that efforts should focus on strengthening and renovating existing buildings, including in older residential areas, while optimizing infrastructure such as parking, charging stations, fire protection and communications.

According to the document, the renewal and reconstruction of old commercial areas, industrial zones and villages within the city will be promoted. It is supposed to create multi-level and comprehensive networks of public services to meet the everyday needs of the population.

The directive emphasizes the need for accelerated construction and reconstruction of gas, water, drainage, sewer, underground heating communications and utility tunnels, as well as active construction of public fire-fighting facilities and improvement of transport infrastructure.

In addition, requirements have been formulated for the restoration of urban ecosystems and the protection of the historical and cultural heritage of cities.

The document provides for the creation of a mechanism for implementing urban renewal programs, improving land use policies, and developing a housing safety management system throughout the entire life cycle. –0–
