Making More GDP in Beijing

Capital Said to Plan Moving Gov't Agencies to Outskirts
Huang Yan, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, told state media on July 14 that the move would also encourage people to move to the Tongzhou District from the more crowded Dongcheng, Xicheng and Chaoyang districts.

The move is part of government efforts to rein in population growth in the capital to tackle traffic and air pollution problems. Beijing's party secretary, Guo Jinlong, said at the meeting that the government wants the population of six urban districts to fall by 15 percent by 2020.
Let's see what happens to the land.
