The Beijing government said Saturday that it was scheduled to start construction of 8.5 million square meters housing project of low-rent and affordable apartments next year, a move to boost the housing consumption and benefit the low-incomers.

The Beijing Municipal Construction Committee said it would strictly carry out the overall land use program and ramp up efforts on the land reserve for low-rent and affordable apartments.

Meanwhile, it would tighten land supply to commercial residential projects where the infrastructure and service facilities are not mature enough, said the committee in a joint circular issued with other ten local governmental agencies.

It vowed to strengthen market supervision and service to better regulate the market order and protect home buyers' legitimate rights.
