Ulaanbaatar takes back 407 pieces of its greenbelt

The governor of Mongolia's capital revoked land rights on 407 plots in the forested belt around Ulaanbaatar, out of 11,706 granted there, after inspections of 26 summer-cottage zones, the state agency Montsame reported on Friday.

The grounds Purevdagva listed are physical. Fences built past permitted lines, access to public greenbelt blocked, plots granted and never used, no way through for emergency vehicles, structures no one authorized.

The city that says so lives on 5.9 square meters of green space per resident

"Ulaanbaatar's greenbelt is not the possession of a small number of people; it is a vital resource that protects the health, safety and quality of life of all residents," the governor said, in Montsame's rendering.

The city that says so lives on 5.9 square meters of green space per resident, by the same account.

Sukhbaatar and Chingeltei districts take all 407 revocations. The other 11,299 allocations stand.
