Investment
in the infrastructure sector A forward-looking
and carefully-thought-out master plan is called for in building Pudong
into a multifunctional, export-oriented and cosmopolitanized new urban
area of Shanghai and in meeting the physical, functional, cultural
and ecological criteria of a modern metropolis. More than RMB5 million
has been spent in making the master plan for the Central Financial
Area of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone. Accomplished architects from
the Richard Rogers Partnership of UK, Dominique Perrault Associates
of France, Toyo Ito & Associates Architects of Japan, Massimiano
Fuksas Associates of Italy joined their Chinese counterparts in the
design, so that the best of different cultures of the world can be
made use of. Pudong has
come through a series of stages since 1990, from initial policy making,
to project initiation, to functional development up to all-round social
development. Dubbed as the largest construction site in the world,
the Pudong New Area has realized the goal of " a new look every
year, and profound changes every three years" as pronounced hopefully
by Deng Xiaoping.
The second round of major infrastructure developments
(1996-2000)
The new round of backbone infrastructure projects (2001-2005)
Pudong
International Airport
The Phase
I of the Pudong International Airport was completed and open to traffic
in October1999. The project, which cost RMB 12 billion, involved a
4000-meter main runway and a passenger terminal of some 250,000 sq.
m. in gross floor area. The current handling capacity of the airport
is 20 million passengers and 750,000 tons of cargo. According to plan,
the airport will eventually have four runways and an annual handling
capacity of 70 million passengers.
Pudong
International Info-Port t As the cornerstone
of the Shanghai Info-Port, the project is located in the Lujiazui
Finance and Trade Zone of Pudong. It will be a hub for collecting,
processing, storing, exchanging and transmitting information in Shanghai.
Using multi-media, optical fiber communications, computer technology
and telecommunications satellites, the Pudong Info-Port will provide
intelligent and round-the-clock global communications and business
information services. The Phase I of the project, the Info-Port Complex
has been completed. The building is 180 meters high, with a total
floor space of 80,000 sq. m. The equipment installed in the building
is an integral part of the information facilities in West Shanghai
and in the rest of the country as well as those for global communications,
thus laying the foundation for the Shanghai Information Highway.
Pudong
International Deep Water Harbor
The Waigaoqiao
new harbour area in Pudong New Area (now under construction) is the
centerpiece of the New Shanghai Port in future. Waigaoqiao harbor
has enough room to accommodate 49 ten-thousand-ton berths and a number
of small and medium-size berths in addition. The full annual handling
capacity is planned to be 50.4 million tons of cargo, of which 5.25
million tons is container handling capacity. The development is divided
into four phases and is scheduled to be completed by 2020. At this
stage, the development of port has entered Phase IV and the througput
has reached 3 million TEUs. Waigaoqiao
Deep Water Harbor has two parts, named respectively Gaoqiaozui and
Wuhaogou. Wuhaogou container terminal is to be developed in step with
the dredging of the navigation channel at the mouth of the Yangtze
River. It will take approximately ten years and RMB11 billion to increase
the depth of the water there from the present -7 meters to -12.5 meters Outer
Ring Road (Pudong Section) The Outer
Ring Road is 97.37 km. in length, 50.17 km. of which is in Pudong
and 47.20 km. in West Shanghai. It is an urban expressway with a designed
speed limit of 80 km./hour. The
No. 2 Metro Line
Pudong
Light Railway Transit Starting at Liuli, after passing Linyi
Road, Dongfang Road and Zhangyang Road and ending at Waigaoqiao, the
Pudong Light Railway Transit is 25.4 km. long. Phase I is 8.87 km.
long, with Central Avenue at one end and Donglu at the other. The
line, which is double-track, two-way all along, will go through Pudong’s
most densely populated areas and key development zones such as Waigaoqiao,
Jinqiao, Lujiazui and Liuli. The Phase I investment is RMB2.2 billion. The
Maglev The Maglev
line, the world's first commerial magnetic elevated railway, was completed
and began its trial run in December 2002. The 30-kilometer line goes
west-eastwards from Longyang Station on Metro Line No.2 to the passenger
terminal of Pudong International Airport. At a speed of 430 kilometers
per hour, it takes only eight minutes to complete a one-way trip.
Along the line, there are two stations, two transformer substations,
a control center, a maintenance service center and a maintenance base.
Waigaoqiao Power Plant This project
includes the construction of two 900,000 KV generators and their supporting
facilities, a 35,000-ton-class coal wharf and an oil wharf, etc..
The total investment is RMB14.4 billion. The first generator was put
into operation in 1999, and the second in 2000.
The
Water-Supply and Drainage Project 1.
Water-Supply Project The project
includes the expansion of the two water plants of Linjiang and Lingqiao.
Phase I of Linjiang water plant has its capacity increased to 400,000
cubic meter/day. The cost is RMB600 million. The Phase
I of Lingqiao Water Plant in Lingqiao Township of Pudong is already
completed. The expansion project (Phase II) costs RMB200 million and
will increase its water supply capacity to 200,000 cubic meter/day.
According to plan, the plant will use water from Chenhang Reservoir,
whose water comes from the Yangtze River. 2.
Water Drainage Project The water
drainage project (Phase I) had been put into operation by the end
of 1993. Phase II will cost RMB5.19 billion, RMB1.6 billion of which
has been spent in the Ninth Five-Year-Plan period.
The
River-Crossing Project The projects
are the Dalian Road river-crossing facility, the Lujiazui Pedestrian
Tunnel, and the Outer Ring Road River-Crossing Project. 1.
Dalian Road River-Crossing Facility: The 2.56
km.-long facility starts at Huimin Road (W.) in West Shanghai. At
Pudong, it runs along Dongfang Road and, after crossing Pudong Avenue,
it emerges above ground to end at Qixia Road. 2.
Lujiazui Pedestrian Tunnel The
end of the 500-meter-long tunnel in West Shanghai is the Chenyi Square.
In Pudong, its entry/exit point is located at the foot of Oriental
Pearl TV Tower. Robot carriages using advanced technology of the 1990’s
transport passengers to and fro. Escalators are installed at the two
ends to ease the flow of passengers. The project costs RMB450 million
in total. 3.
Outer Ring Road River-Crossing Project The tunnel
section of the Outer Ring Road has been built.
East
China Sea Natural Gas Project The maximum
supply capacity will ultimately reach 1.2 million cubic meter/day.
The project, costing RMB4.4 billion in total, is made up of supply
and distributing systems (including pressure-adjusting systems), controlling
facilities and supporting projects. A volume
of 400,000 cubic meter per day was supplied in 1998 and the capacity
risen to 1.2 million cubic meter per day by 2000 |
