Green development ready to go in Xiongan New Area

Xiongan New Area will control the use of land by developing up to 30 percent of its area in the long run, leaving the rest for green space and water landscapes, the State Council said on Wednesday.

The new area should create an inviting, ecologically healthy environment, and stronger efforts should be made to better manage and environmentally restore Baiyang Lake in Hebei province.

Procedures should be developed to replenish the lake's water and recover acreage that has been lost over the years. Rural pollution should be effectively constrained to ensure that the lake's water quality meets national standards.
