MoF official Guo Fangming said on the 8th that from 2024 the Ministry of
Finance, jointly with the Ministry of Housing and Urban‑Rural Development, has
started support for selected cities to carry out urban renewal. Over three
consecutive years the central government will cumulatively support 50 keys
cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Luoyang, Urumqi and Chengdu, as
pilots. Central fiscal authorities will provide quota-based grants per city,
differentiated for eastern, central and western regions, to fund selected model
projects and institutional mechanism building.
