More on CaoYang New Village
The concept of state-supported housing was introduced in 1951 with the development of Caoyang Xin Cun (Caoyang New Village) in an existing industrial zone on Shanghai’s western periphery. Following the construction of the Caoyang Xin Cun, many other residential complexes were built. Caoyang New Village is the first Worker’s Housing Project in Shanghai established by the government in the 1950s. It’s also the earliest working village in China. The village, occupying a total area of 180 hectares and with a construction area of 1.678 million square meters, is a major residential area, which has a population of more than 100,000, located in west Shanghai.
