Beijing to launch next phase of subcenter construction

Beijing plans to launch the second phase of subcenter construction in its eastern Tongzhou district and build a comprehensive transportation hub, as soon as key municipal organs move to new offices in the subcenter, a senior official said on Monday.

The capital aims to design and build a high-quality subcenter that is eco-friendly, Beijing Mayor Chen Jining said during the 15th Beijing's People Congress.

"Landscape projects will be thoroughly carried out in Tongzhou district to improve the canal business zone," he said.
