Chengdu to compete for The LivCom Awards
Adjust font size:

The Wenjiang District in Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, has been selected as a candidate to compete for the International Awards For Livable Communities (The LivCom Awards), November 22-26 in London with six cities from Japan, France, the United States, Canada, Sweden and New Zealand.

Launched in 1997 and endorsed by the United Nations Environment Program, the LivCom Awards are the world's only awards competition focusing on best practice management of the local environment, assessing a city's development in landscape construction, culture heritage management and environmental protection.

Green projects

Chengdu is investing billions of yuan in developing an environmentally-friendly pesticide and a tree-planting scheme that will cover more than a third of the urban area.

The projects are part of a 37-billion yuan (US$4.93 billion) plan for environmental improvements up to 2010. The 240 projects, featuring water, air and noise pollution control as well as the environmentally-friendly disposal of waste in urban and rural areas, are aimed at improving air and water quality.
