Jiangxi Provincial government announced during the conference that the the province would cooperate with the Finland government to build a low carbon eco-city in Gongqing city by the Poyang Lake,China’s largest freshwater lake.
The city covering six square kilometers was designed to accommodate 100,000 residents. The project will begin at the beginning of 2010 and be completed in 2013.
“China’s urbanization process will bring millions of rural people into the cities. How to build cities for sustainable development is a challenge to China,” said Mauri Tommila, whose company, Finland’s DigiEcoCity Ltd, joined the eco-city project.
The company will build another eco-city in east China’s Jiangsu Province and had begun negotiation with Shanghai and Beijing Municipal government for more eco-city plans, Tommila said.
