Beijing's population close to 15 million

www.chinanews.cn 2005-04-27 14:06:39

Chinanews, Apr. 26 - According to the latest vital statistics report by
the Beijing Statistics Bureau, Beijing's permanent population reached
14.927 million at the end of 2004. That is 2.6-fold the 1949 figure of
4.201 million people. In the past 55 years, Beijing's population has
grown at an annual average rate of 195,000 persons, or 2.3%.
The municipality describes in the recently released "General City
Planning of Beijing Municipal City (2004-2020)" that it will control its
population volume at around 18 million by 2020, at an annual growth rate
of 1.4%.
However, some experts suggest that the government should defer to market
rules and control the population according to market demand rather than
depending on administrative means. And, issues like the growing influx of
non-permanent residents and the transplant of the population are urgently
in need of both research and solutions.
