A new urban construction plan that divides the Beijing into 250,000 units for future construction has been reported to the city’s municipal government for approval. They reported the details on regulations on controlled areas and prohibited areas of construction. According to Mr. Tan Xuxiang, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning (BMCUP), the Current Urban Construction Planning report introduces the concept of the “controlled-construction areas”. This idea integrates rigid management of public facilities construction with the protection of all the ecological resources like urban water supply, lakes, rivers, marshes and scenic spots. In the past, to provide a much better shopping environment for the residents, we may have knocked down a school to make way for a supermarket. Now this would never ever happen again”, said director Tan.
