City management tips

Will Beijing residents still enjoy the life of best ever quality that they experienced during the Olympic Games? The online discussion about whether the restrictions should be lifted on motor vehicles plying every other day according to the last figure of their plates shows that this has become a concern for residents.

Statistics indicate that during the Games the city had the lowest incidence of criminal cases in eight years, the clearest sky with the cleanest air, fewest fire accidents compared with the same period in the past, the most convenient public transport, and the largest volume of passengers by subway trains but with the highest punctuality rate and the lowest rate of accidents.

Of course, all these were achieved because of some provisional measures such as larger numbers of police officers patrolling major streets, many volunteers working as public security guards, special traffic control measures, particular attention to street sanitation and suspension of construction projects citywide.
