The State Council issued the Urban Renewal "15th Five-Year" Plan, directing financial support for urban renewal. The plan will explore financing for self-directed upgrades of aging urban housing and in‑situ demolition-and-rebuild projects, actively attract private capital, and promote eligible urban renewal projects to issue infrastructure REITs and other real-estate asset securitizations. It also supports qualified urban-renewal firms issuing corporate bonds and medium-term notes. Funding will follow a beneficiary-pays principle to leverage market financing and construct a shared financing mechanism among government, market and residents; the plan also standardizes new government‑private partnership mechanisms, encourages private-sector participation in infrastructure construction and operation, and calls for cautious progress on public-utility price reform.
