According to People's Daily, Beijing will divide its 18 districts and
counties into four functional parts including core area, extension area,
newly developed area, and ecosystem area. Meanwhile, 11 new satellite
towns will be built around Beijing. It means that millions of people are
likely to settle down in outskirts beyond the central zone of the capital.
Following the new urban development scheme, Beijing will witness historic
changes, with the moving out of the Capital Iron & Steel Corporation as a
milestone event in particular.
As a large-scale corporation in China with 70 billion yuan worth of total
capital and 80 billion yuan worth of sales income, the Capital Iron &
Steel Corporation has contributed greatly to the gross economic volume of
Beijing.
Many citizens raised an eyebrow soon after Beijing declared the
relocation of the corporation from Beijing to its neighboring province
Hebei. However, the decision-makers believe the fresh soul of the new
Beijing should be a city suitable for living.
The establishment of such a new Beijing will be the best choice, said
city planner Wu Liangyong.
