Outlying transport hubs in works
Shanghai will start building 14 new transport hubs close to large residential areas this year, mainly in suburban districts including Jiading, Qingpu and Songjiang, to help with traffic flow as the outlying regions gain more population. (Shanghai Daily)
Five areas earmarked for growth
Shanghai is planning to control the number of people living in the downtown area and encourage more residents to move to outlying areas over the next five years. Further development of the suburban satellite cities of Jiading, Songjiang, Jinshan, Nanqiao and Lingang is one of the aims of the 12th Five-Year Plan which kicks off this year. (Shanghai Daily)
