Greater barrier-free access for Beijing's nearly 1 million disabled residents will be provided over the next five years.

The municipal government is pushing ahead with renovating existing facilities and older residential areas, as well as creating more accessible public transport hubs, Lyu Zhengming, vice-president of the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation, told a news conference on Tuesday.

A navigation system to help locate barrier-free public facilities will also be established, while a program to help disabled people improve their own homes is also expected, he said.
