The Guangzhou Municipal Government initially plans to invest more than 4 billion in hardware facilities for the 2010 Asian Games.
The construction and renovation of the Asian Games venues will cost more than 2 billion yuan, all of which will be borne by the government; while the Asian Games Village will be built with private investment, with a total investment of more than 2 billion yuan expected.
According to Gan Xin, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission, yesterday (26th) at the press conference of the Municipal People's Congress: For the 2010 Asian Games, Guangzhou only needs to build 5-6 new venues, and in addition renovate and expand 50 competition venues and training venues.
The investment amount is more than 2 billion, which will be fully borne by the Guangzhou Municipal Government. The Asian Games Village, with a total cost of more than 2 billion, is being considered for private investment and construction. At present, Guangzhou City has initially selected two villages in the east and south of the city.
The area is used as Asian Games village land and reserve land.
In order to meet the needs of the Asian Games, Guangzhou will invest more than 100 billion in the next six years to speed up the construction of urban infrastructure. By 2010, it will build a 250-kilometer subway and further speed up the construction of expressways and urban main roads.
and road construction and ecological management.
Gan Xin also said that Guangzhou hopes to make the 2010 Asian Games the "largest" Asian Games in history, and the total number of events should exceed 40.
If the State Sports General Administration and other competent authorities and associations agree, it is not a bad idea to hold some events in Hong Kong, and there are broad prospects for cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong.
Because Guangzhou is hosting the Asian Games, a large number of construction projects will be subject to international bidding, which will undoubtedly bring many business opportunities to Hong Kong. Furthermore, it is expected that more than 400,000 passengers will enter and exit through Hong Kong during the Asian Games, which will also boost Hong Kong's business.
