上海将兴建更多公共体育设施   2015-09-22

 

SHANGHAI will build more public sports facilities and develop industries related to sports to become a “world famous sports city” by 2025.

Besides hosting international events and competitions like the Formula 1 Grand Prix (motor racing), Shanghai Rolex Masters (tennis), WGC-HSBC Champions (golf), more medium- and small-size sports venues will be built to ensure every citizen has an average of 2.6 square meters of public area for sports activities, Vice Mayor Zhao Wen said yesterday.

Schools will be encouraged to open their sports facilities to the public, while students will be guaranteed at least one hour of sports activity in school everyday. The city government hopes over 45 percent citizens will participate in some kind of sports activity in the next 10 years.
