Elderly voice fears over expansion

Elderly residents likely to be relocated because of the massive expansion of the Central Business District (CBD) said on Wednesday they were worried it could leave them without easy access to daily necessities.

The Beijing Municipal Commission for Urban Planning released the general design for the 3-sq-km CBD expansion Tuesday evening to solicit public opinion. The expansion is likely to take between six and eight years.

The process to gather public comments will take one month.
