| 14-Jan-2003 - |
China's financial and industrial center, Shanghai, began construction recently of a new German-style town in its suburban areas. A 4.9-square-km town with a capacity of 80,000 residents is being built in suburban Anting, home to the Shanghai Volkswagen Corporation. The first phase of the project covers 2.5 square km, and the entire town is expected to be completed in three years. Seven German architectural firms headed by renowned German architect Albert Speer are designing the new town. Trees and grass are expected to cover 70 percent of the area, and kindergartens, primary schools and high schools, as well as banks will be included. Shanghai plans to build an additional 11 medium-sized towns and 22 smaller towns by 2010 as part of its goal to urbanize 75 percent of its suburbs. A British-style and a Chinese-style town are also being built, one in Songjiang, south of Anting, and another in Qingpu, to the southwest. |
