The Ulaanbaatar City office will build houses in Gandan area of Bayangol district to accommodate residents of the ger district there who leave their present land to help a development plan to go forward. A new micro district in Sukhbaatar district will also come up.  The Civil Representatives Assembly passed a general plan for micro districts in 2003 and work on it is being implemented in stages.

A survey last month found 7,817 people in 1,861 households lived in 56 hectares of area in Gandan. The plan is to settle them in houses 3 and 5 floors tall to be built behind the monastery complex. Work on infrastructure and power and heating connections has begun. However, the residents can leave their present houses only after it is decided how much compensation they will get and how much they will pay as rent at their new places.
The Mayor’s Office also wants to encourage citizens to come together to build apartment blocks for themselves. For example, 10 households in a street can jointly build an apartment of five floors with garage. Once their plan is passed heating connection will be arranged.
