THE second major phase of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city (SSTEC) project has formally been launched, focusing on the development of a glitzy but green central business district (CBD) in the heart of the 30 sq km township.
Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong and Tianjin Binhai New Area Party Secretary Zhang Yuzhuo jointly launched the new chapter of the flagship bilateral project in China yesterday in a ceremony also witnessed by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean. "We have completed the start-up phase; now in the next phase of development, we are focusing on the city centre, and we want to make (eco-city) even better," said Mr Wong.
