Program to overhaul infrastructure in cities

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will launch a national program later this year to overhaul vital urban infrastructure like bridges, gas pipelines and water supply lines.

The decision was announced by ministry authorities at a meeting in Hefei, capital of Anhui province, on May 11. The ministry has asked cities to learn from pilot programs now running in cities including Hefei and Shanghai, and replicate them.
