The 10th Five-year Plan period (2001-05) will see Beijing move
hundred industrial enterprises out of the 4th Loop Road to solve
the problems as of pollution and urban din, said Liu Haiyan, vice-mayor
of Beijing, June 11.
Beijing Transformer Factory, a large industrial enterprise located
at Xinjiekou, will be moved to a new address in sci-tech park in
Changping north of Beijing late May, and 20 such others will also
be relocated this year.
Due to historical reasons, Beijing's 56.8 percent industrial enterprises
huddled in the city center taking up only 1.9 percent area of the
whole city, causing a series of problems as dense population, traffic
jam, shortage of energy supply and environmental pollution.
In last year, about 1 million square meters have been cleared as
a result of a series of relocations arranged and another 6 million
are anticipated in the coming five years, to make the city's total
clear-out since 1985 top 8 million square meters.
As planned, an orderly industrial layout will form into scale by
2005. The areas inside the fourth loop will focus on industrial
marketing, research institutes and environmental-friendly industries
as well as be a window for foreign exchanges. The belts along the
fourth loop will project new and high-tech zones specialized in
software, IC, new material, medicine and energies. Meanwhile, suburbs
will become bases centering on modern processing, manufacturing
and raw material supply.
