Barrier-free facilities to be upgraded in cities nationwide

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has called for the improved construction of barrier-free facilities in cities.

In a notice released in late February, the ministry encouraged provincial-level housing and urban-rural development authorities to launch a "checkup" of their barrier-free facilities, especially those on roads and in parks, squares, public parking lots, restrooms and residential buildings, to uncover any existing problems.
