Old Canton Aims To Rise New City On Honan Island
A Cantonese plan envisions transforming Old Canton into a modern city on Honan Island opposite the old town. It calls for wide streets, sanitary sewers, a municipal bund and waterfront, funded by a $15 to $10 million bond issue intended to relocate up to 1.6 million residents. The provincial government, with American engineering input, hopes to attract investment and accelerate the move despite existing pestilence and crowded conditions.
