2017-09-30

Authorities in Beijing Friday released the full text of a general city plan for 2016 to 2035, setting the goal of becoming a "world-class harmonious and livable city."

The 60,000-character document consists of eight chapters on the city's strategic positioning, spatial distribution, historical protection, overall development of urban and rural areas, and regional collaboration.

The two major objectives for the plan are to remove non-capital functions and solve "big city diseases."

To realize the first goal, the document said the city should seize the opportunity of coordinated development in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions and optimize the capital's positioning as a national center of politics, culture, international exchanges, and scientific and technological innovation.

New energy and renewable energy will account for over 8 percent of total energy consumption by 2020 and 20 percent by 2035. The current share of new energy and renewable energy consumption is 6.6 percent.
