Zhaoxiang Town maps out an exciting future
The development blueprint of Zhaoxiang.
Zhaoxiang Town in Qingpu District has released its blueprint for development through to 2035.
The town will undertake an industrial upgrade from traditional business and trade servicing of manufacturing, retail and catering to modern service industries highlighting software and information service.
By 2035, the town will have 215.8 hectares of public green spaces, and its per capita greenery space will amount to 14.7 square meters from 7.2 square meters in 2016, according to the blueprint.
The town aims to become an ecological and liveable town, with a cluster of world-leading modern service industries, highlighting the development of MICE and modern logistics, according to the blueprint.
The town's shortage of public service facilities, greenery spaces, sports and culture venues will be eased under combined measures.
Residents answer a quiz on the development of the town.
Agricultural tourism and production will be developed at Zhongbu, Hemu, Songze and Fangxia villages with B&B, culture as well as innovation industries near Songze Culture Park.
Rural revitalization, public service supply and greenery networks will be enhanced, providing more leisure venues and public facilities for residents.
"Taking advantage of the location of the town near the Hongqiao Business District and the landing of the Shixi Software Park, we will turn the town into a science and technology innovation industry demonstration zone led by software and information service industry, a cultural innovation development zone centering on the Songze ancient culture, and an ecological liveable area," said Zhang Wei, director of Zhaoxiang.
The town hosted a promotion event for the blueprint at the Bailian Outlets Plaza in Qingpu over the weekend, answering inquiries from the public and staging a quiz.
Zhenzhong residential complex, Xinguang Village, Xinghuo residential complex and Shuichan village will experience a renovation.
The town will also introduce high-quality cultural facilities centering on film and television making and media to increase its cultural competitiveness.
