This year Beijing plans to promote the transformation of 20 urban villages. This year, Beijing will raise funds for the construction of 70,000 affordable rental housing units.
Beijing will increase the supply of "one bed" and "one room" products and focus on solving problems for new citizens., young people and frontline workers’ housing issues. “In terms of the location of these housing units, we give priority to areas around subway stations, industrial parks where they work and live, and areas with better supporting facilities," Xia Linmao said.
