B. Project Status The loan for the project was approved on March 20, 2013 and became effective on July 22, 2013. The project has disbursed at US$5.86 million (4%) as of March 30, 2016. From early stages of implementation the project has encountered a number of bottlenecks leading to delays and subsequently to downgrading the project to problem status since June 2014. While implementation is still lagging behind the original schedule with both development objectives and implementation progress rated Moderately Unsatisfactory, there has been a significant breakthrough and progress achieved in the last six months. Six civil works contracts have been signed since March 2016; a further three contracts covering Kuandian and Lingyuan cities are expected to be signed by June 2016. In Donggang City, the contract for Zhanqiandadao Avenue Road (about US$ 12 million) has been signed and the contract for Haiguanbeilu and Gaotiedajie roads (about US$ 14.9 million) will open bidding in six months. In Kuandian County, the first urban roads contract (US$ 7.84 million) is to be signed in April 2016. In Lingyuan County, the construction of the first sewage and reclaimed water pipelines contract (US$ 8.32 million) has been almost completed and the second reclaimed water pipeline contract (US$ 7.7 million) was signed in March 2016. The Wuliudalu Road Construction Contract (US$ 8.78 million) has started. In Panjin City, the Shuangtaizi District bus depot construction (US$ 2.38 million) has started and the procurement for the acquisition of 140 LNG buses (US$ 17.7 million) was signed in Feb 2016. Resettlement activities and land use adjustments approvals have been one of the main reasons for delays in project implementation. Land use zoning adjustment has been a lengthy process that requires final approval from the Ministry of Land Resources. However, all sites, except for one bus depot in Panjin city, have now obtained approval. In addition, resettlement and land acquisition activities have been completed at a number of sites, while good progress is being made at others. In some cases, project cities have adjusted the alignment of roads to reduce resettlement needs and costs. The implementation of resettlement activities will continue to be closely monitored as resettlement activities require more attention and funding in China which has stressed on local government’s fiscal budget. The ability of project cities to secure the necessary counterpart funding has also been a challenge as a result of the slow-down of the Chinese economy, which has hit Liaoning Province particularly hard. In addition, the new budget law has limited the capacity of cities to borrow to raise counterpart funds. The main reasons that Suizhong County and Longcheng District decided to drop from the project are their tighter fiscal situation and changing local development and investment priorities by the new leaders. Finally, there have been some issues with the quality and details of the designs and technical specifications in the bidding documents and the Bid Evaluation Report due to some local governments have no experience working with the World Bank financed projects. In addition, The Project Management Office Page 3 of 12 (PMO) lacks the resources and capacity to engage with local authorities to advance implementation forward. The engagement of the Project Management Consultant is expected to help support the PMO and project city level Implementing Units (PIUs) expedite implementation and improve the implementation support to this project as efficiency has been hampered by extended implementation delays. The proposed restructuring will help reduce risks of lack of counterpart financing and improve implementation of the project. The proposal will reallocate unallocated funds in the loan from the dropped subprojects in Suizhong County and Longcheng District to existing appraised subprojects in the remaining project cities. The disbursement ratios for civil works contracts will increase to 90%, which will help reduce the local government’s pressure for lack of counterpart funds in the future, and allowing more local resources to be allocated to resettlement and project management. The project restructuring will not change the project safeguard category (category B), will not trigger any new safeguard policies, and will not introduce new safeguard instruments. As no new subprojects are being added, there are no changes to the safeguard policies. The implementation of the environmental management plan has been adequate to date. The project is in compliance with resettlement policies and action plan, although implementation has been slow, but shows good signs of improvement over the last six months. After restructuring, the reduced number of project cities will also help simplify project management and supervision. Since technical, economic and financial analysis have been done for each subproject in project cities, the dropping of two subprojects will not affect the analysis of the reaming subprojects. As a result of the delays in implementation and the simplification of the project, the Project Development Objective (PDO) and the Results Framework need to be modified accordingly. A revised project implementation schedule has been prepared and agreed with the counterparts. Given 6 contracts were signed in March 2016 and 3 more are to be signed in June 2016, the implementation progress is to be accelerated in the coming months, and disbursement be speed up in the next three years. A revised disbursement plan is provided in the disbursement session in the restructuring paper. Provided that implementation progress will be sustained as envisioned in the revised

In this paper, we evaluated the sustainability of the 14 cities in Liaoning, China, from 2015 to 2017. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the interactions among the social, economic and environmental systems, the traditional evaluation indicator system is refined. We incorporate the attitude of decision makers into the evaluation model and propose an objective weighting method by considering data distribution to objectively guide the cities to develop towards the established goals. The empirical research results show that cities located in eastern Liaoning performed the best and in western Liaoning performed the worst. The performances of the 14 cities in Liaoning were not perfect. Both the evaluation values and growth rates of 7 cities (accounting for 50.00%) were lower than the overall average level. The evaluation values of the three systems of the 14 cities were not balanced. The evaluation values of the social, economic and environmental systems fluctuated within the range of [0.0159, 0.0346], [0.0151, 0.0677] and [0.0123, 0.0483], respectively.

  • Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility
    Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials.
