Tianjin's trailblazing attracts new residents
The Tianjin Juilliard School is another space for residents to appreciate music, a rarity in many rival cities in China. Joseph W. Polisi, President Emeritus of The Juilliard School, and an honorary citizen of Tianjin, said: "The Tianjin Juilliard School functions not only as a degree-granting institution with a cohort of students, but also as a catalyst for new projects, new ideas, imaginative processes."
With 3 million senior residents aged 60 or older, who account for 21.66 percent of the population, the city has set up 1,700 canteens for the elderly and subsidizes their use for some 1.9 million.
Downtown Tianjin's Hexi district is now the national role model for service for the elderly.
An elderly service center is a top priority for each community in Hexi. Zhu Feng, Party chief and head of the Tianjin Municipal Civil Affairs, noted that during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period, the elderly care system will see even greater advances in the provision of community services available within a 15-minute radius, and said the city expected every local community to set up centers for the elderly by its end.
