Growing into a green and ecological city

Tianjin Future Science City integrates Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and receives science and education resources from Beijing's universities, medical institutions and scientific research facilities.

"For senior professionals, we help them develop careers here by offering venture capital, research services and other services," said Xia Xin, deputy director of the Administrative Commission of Tianjin Binhai High-tech Zone, where the science city is located.

"More importantly, we are trying to make their lives easier and more convenient here, for instance, helping them settle down and offering their children better schooling opportunities," Xia said.

The preferential policies have helped attract lots of projects and talented people. At present, more than 70 companies and institutions have settled in Binhai High-tech Zone, with a total of agreed investment of 74 billion yuan.

The zone highlights ecology in its planning and landscaping. In 2012, the Huayuan Science Park in the zone was named as a national eco-industry demonstration park.

It focuses on the development of low-carbon and eco-friendly industries.

The new energy industry in the zone is now home to household names from home and abroad including Tianjin Lishen Battery Co Ltd, BAK International (Tianjin) Ltd, Tianjin B&M Science and Technology Co Ltd.

The zone has formed a new energy industry cluster featuring wind power, solar power, LED and fuel cell batteries.

The Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, another demonstration area, has also sped up environmental improvement. It aims to achieve a 90 percent green commuting rate featuring new-energy, fuel-efficient public transportation and a 20 percent rate in resource recycling. In addition, all the buildings in the eco-city are required to meet environmental friendly or "green" standards.
