Why is it to be demolished?

To eliminate hidden dangers and expand space

According to the Jiulongpo Commission of Urban-Rural Development, after investigation, there are several reasons for demolishing the tower.

First, since the tower has existed for 14 years, the potential safety hazard increases every year.

In addition, the tower restricts the space development of the business district. With the development of Yangjiaping business district, the Jiulong tower has been “submerged” by high buildings and is no longer the center visually.

“If the tower is retained, the upgrade will have no breakthrough in space,” said a representative. If the tower is removed, the business district will be brighter.

When will it be demolished? Will it be rebuilt?

The demolishment will be completed before the National Day and it will not be rebuilt.

Now, the specific demolishment scheme is in discussion. The most important thing is to do an all-around inspection to the tower. The last all-around inspection of the tower was conducted in 2008 after the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake.

The demolishment will be completed before the National Day and no architecture will be built on the site. (Translated by Ma Shuangshuang, Fathom Language Limited)
