Putuo District has announced plans to place an additional 400 elevators in aging residential buildings, making it a leader in Shanghai, China’s elevator installation campaign, Shine reports. As of mid-August, 265 elevators had been installed in Putuo, with 249 already in operation. This brings the total number of signed elevator projects in the district to 1,556, of which 603 have been successfully completed, according to the district government. Shanghai has initiated a campaign to install elevators in older buildings. Approximately 220,000 buildings in Shanghai lack elevators, and nearly 40% of the 1 million households residing in these buildings are aged 60 or older, according to the city’s housing authority. The project’s first elevator was installed in a seven-story building in the Nujiangyuan community in Putuo in October 2015. Putuo has established a leadership team overseeing all aspects of the elevator projects. The district has also released an elevator installation map and guidelines to streamline the process.
