One City, Nine Towns

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anting New Town

One City, Nine Towns (German: one city, nine places) is an initiative of the city government of Shanghai from 2001. The aim of the project was to create ten attractive suburban settlements to counteract the housing shortage.

Planned cities

Thames Town , the city based on the English model.

The nine cities are spread across the Shanghai metropolitan area and have individual western themes. None of the nine cities were designed by Chinese architects.

development

Planning for the pilot project began in 2001, and most of it was completed in 2007. From 2011, Anting , in particular , of the nine planned cities as a ghost town repeatedly hit the headlines, especially in the German and English media. Anting, around 34 kilometers west of the center of Shanghai, is the location of the Sino-German joint venture Shanghai Volkswagen and one of the centers of the Chinese automotive industry. The Anting German Town district has a living space for 25,000 people. In contrast, the number of inhabitants is said to have risen to just 7,000 by 2014. The main causes were the location, accessibility and high property prices.

For a condominium in Anting German Town in 2010 around 13,000 Renminbi per square meter had to be paid, which corresponds to around 1,600 euros. However, the price per square meter in the inner ring of Shanghai was already up to 30,000 Renminbi at this point, and even higher in the direct center. As of 2012, the Shanghai city government provided the necessary funds to expand the infrastructure . The Shanghai subway line 11 has been in Anting since October 2014, followed by schools and kindergartens. At the same time, since 2015, enormous increases in house prices have been driving people from Shanghai's city center to the city limits - and thus to Anting too.

In 2011, the large municipality of Anting was divided into 20 residential communities and 43 villages. The pilot project “One City, Nine Towns” was followed between 2014 and 2017 by the construction or, on the basis of existing historical building fabric, the expansion of further so-called themed settlements, which are marketed together by the Shanghai city administration as “Twenty Famous Towns”.
