Beijing to see upgrades to CBD

Beijing's Central Business District area will put six new buildings into use this year, as a move to further develop the CBD region into a first-class international community, local authorities said on Wednesday.

Authorities from the capital's Chaoyang district said they are planning an overall upgrade project of the CBD area in an effort to strengthen public space functions, upgrade street landscapes and optimize the transportation system in the downtown CBD area.

The living environment will also be improved in the area, including the addition of a park of 2.3 hectares, and 5G technology will be put into commercial use in the CBD area soon according to the CBD's management committee.
