The second phase of support to China SCP builds upon and disseminates the earlier (1997-2001) Sustainable Shenyang and Sustainable Wuhan project experiences. SGP was launched early 2005, after signing a Cooperation Agreement with UN-HABITAT and the Administrative Center for China’s Agenda 21, which is supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Guiyang City was selected as one of the demonstration cities to implement the project, aiming to compile and enhance “The Master Plan for Guiyang’s Ecological Economy City” to solve problems resulting from economic development, and ultimately achieve the over all objective of sustainable urban development.
