Urumqi's sweeping slum makeover gathers steam

Officials say Yashan and Heijiashan, another notorious slum, were inhabited by large numbers of jobless and low-income young migrants from poorer parts of Xinjiang. Police have often complained of the difficulty keeping track of the migrants in the slums.

A total of 197 people died with more than 1,700 injured in the riots which erupted in Urumqi on July 5, 2009.

After restoring order in the wake of the riots, Beijing rolled out a series of aid packages of rarely-seen size to boost the economic and social development in Xinjiang. The country's policy makers believe the restive region's security threats can be stemmed if the root causes -- poverty and lack of development -- are addressed.

The central government vowed to help Xinjiang achieve "frog-leap development and lasting stability" in five years, with its per capita GDP meeting China's average by 2015. In particular, the resource-rich region has introduced resource tax reforms to boost local government's revenue to allow it to expand social spending -- creating jobs, raising retirees' pensions and minimum living allowances, and expanding the coverage of the rural pension.

Officials say the slum overhaul is among the priority social development projects.

The government aims to construct 340,000 subsidized apartments this year to accommodate low-income families including 110,000 households who reside in slums and shanty towns across Xinjiang, says Li Liping, deputy director of Xinjiang's housing and urban-and-rural development bureau.

Zeng Ying, 70, says he is happy to move out of his squatter house in Heijiashan where he has lived for three decades. "It is small, crowded, and inconvenient," he says.
