A new year brimful of worthy goals
Print Edition
MINHANG District will expand technology-related industrial parks, improve flood control, clean up the air, increase green spaces and build more facilities for the elderly this year.
Those goals were included in a report delivered to the Party School of the Minhang Committee of the Communist Party of China at a plenary session earlier this month. The report was delivered by Minhang District director Ni Yaoming.
The aim, he said, is to continue implementing the goals contained in the 13th Five-Year Plan.
Ni said work will continue on restructuring towns in the district. Efforts to improve the lifestyle of residents will proceed on course. He said the district government will hold a mirror to its own performance, striving to improve the efficiency of public services.
The rearview mirror showed good progress already underway. In 2017, Ni reported, the district economy rose 6.5 percent to deliver gross domestic product of 237 billion yuan (US$36.8 billion). The government had revenues of 78 billion yuan, up 14 percent from a year earlier.
Ni said the district wants to build more high-tech industrial parks in southern Shanghai.
The Hongqiao International Trading Belt will be used to attract advanced manufacturing projects and companies like Keruia, Zhuhai Orbita Aerospace Science & Technology and Shanghai ASES Spaceflight Technology. Development will focus on industries such as information technology and biomedicine.
The district will extend additional guarantees to key zones like the Zizhu High-Tech Industrial Park and Lingang-Pujiang International Science Park and will push the restructuring of 65 companies.
Going greener
On the environmental front, conservation will be promoted and green development nurtured. Air quality will be improved by a crackdown on about 600 air polluters.
The district also will complete work on the first phase of an ecological corridor along Suzhou Creek to improve flood control and the immediate environment for local residents. The 10.5-kilometer corridor from Xupu to Zhaojia Village stretches through seven villages in Minhang. It will include recreational areas, parkland, walkways and playgrounds.
Plants are afoot to develop a big data system for monitoring recycling efforts, ensuring that 75 percent of housing estates sort their rubbish.
The government also plans to finish landscape lighting projects on the Xinzhuang overpass and around Metro stations.
Seven schools, six elderly day care centers, multifunctional service centers and nursing homes for the aged are on the construction schedule.
Ni predicted 2018 will be a year of great achievement and urged all involved to be decisive in pursuing stated goals.
