RESTRUCTURING and innovation should be the key words guiding Shanghai's economic performance this year, a senior official said yesterday.
"Shanghai's growth should become less dependent on investment, property, heavy industry and exports," said Qian Jinglin, vice chairman of the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "The city should direct more capital into the real economy, and rely more on innovation to power the city's growth."
More than 770 members of the CPPCC Shanghai Committee were at the opening of the annual session in the World Expo Center which marked the start of a six-day session where suggestions can be made to the government via committee members.
This year, the second year of the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) period, was crucial for making progress to secure the plan's fundamental goal of improving people's livelihoods, Qian said.
The committee would continue to give practical advice based on people's recommendations and make Shanghai a better place to live, work and study, he said.
By late afternoon, members had made more than 200 proposals covering a range of topics from stricter supervision of government income and more regulation of private educational institutions to further promotion of public transport.
They also said that the city should beef up efforts to bolster its cultural industry.
