Beijing plans to carry out 11 projects focused on relocating noncapital functions such as education and medical care this year, according to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

The construction of new campuses for four universities, including Beijing Technology and Business University and Beijing Film Academy, is accelerating, and the city expects to relocate 80,000 faculty members and students to suburban areas by 2022.

In addition, by the end of this year Beijing plans to start building or relocating four hospital branches or medical colleges in its suburban areas, which are expected to add 2,200 hospital beds and lead to the relocation of 10,000 faculty members and students.

Meanwhile, Beijing plans to enhance its urban governance through 14 projects on energy and garbage treatment facilities and 64 infrastructure projects.

Public transportation takes up a major part of these projects. There will be 21 subway projects, including two subway extensions that will be completed and begin trial operations at the end of this year.

The city will renovate infrastructure for buses as well as around 90 kilometers of underground utility tunnels.

The construction or upgrading of several garbage treatment projects in the city will be finished this year, which will raise Beijing's daily treatment capacity for domestic garbage, sewage and other garbage on a large scale.
