The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) reviewed the development of existing National Sustainable Communities in 2010 and proposals on founding new Sustainable Communities lately. According to MOST, three National Sustainable Communities such as the one in the Chengyang District of Qingdao City in Shandong Province passed the acceptance check. New national Sustainable Communities are to be built in 12 places, including the Heping District of Shenyang City in Liaoning Province.
