Promoting the construction of new cities, making cities more livable and suitable for business

Approved by the State Council of China, the National Development and Reform Commission of China recently issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" New Urbanization Implementation Plan, which systematically arranges the key tasks of new urbanization construction during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. A major measure of the National New Urbanization Plan (2021-2035). China's urbanization rate has exceeded 64.7%. Entering the middle and late stages of urbanization development, urban development must shift from "extensional expansion" to "connotative development". It is necessary to solve some outstanding problems accumulated in the process of rapid urbanization. Short-board risks, but also to effectively meet the diverse and quality needs of different groups. To this end, the "Implementation Plan" makes special arrangements for promoting the construction of new cities, emphasizing that people's cities should be built for the people and people's cities should be built for the people, accelerate the transformation of development methods, and build livable, resilient, innovative, smart, green, and humanistic cities.

1. Building a comfortable and convenient livable city

A livable city embodies the needs of urban residents for a better life. The "Implementation Plan" firmly grasps the people's most direct and most realistic livelihood issues, and proposes to increase the supply of inclusive and convenient public services, improve municipal public facilities, orderly promote urban renewal and transformation, and improve the urban housing system. Construction key tasks.

The first is to expand the supply of education, medical care, elderly care, childcare, and community services, and to promote balanced and inclusive development of public services. Scientifically arrange compulsory education schools and strengthen the construction of ordinary high schools. Strengthen the diagnosis and treatment capabilities of primary medical and health institutions, and form a compact urban medical group. Improve the service level of public elderly care institutions, support the healthy development of private elderly care institutions, promote the combination of medical care and elderly care, and expand the supply of nursing beds. Expand the supply of nursery places for infants and young children under the age of 3, vigorously develop public kindergartens, and increase the number of inclusive kindergarten places. Optimize the comprehensive service facilities in the community and create a convenient living circle in the city for a quarter of an hour.

The second is to make up for the shortcomings of municipal public facilities and improve the ability of urban operation guarantee. Optimize the network layout of bus and subway stations, build an urban road network system of "narrow roads, dense road networks, and micro-circulation", with parking facilities mainly built with parking lots, supplemented by off-street public parking lots, and supplemented by on-street parking system, and improve charging facilities in residential quarters and public parking lots. Promote the construction of underground pipe networks such as water, electricity, heat, etc., and implement the underground comprehensive pipe gallery model in the new city, new district and development zone according to local conditions.

The third is to establish a housing system with multi-subject supply, multi-channel guarantee, and simultaneous renting and purchasing, so as to better meet the housing needs of new citizens. Consolidate the main responsibility of the city government, support reasonable demand for self-occupation, and curb investment and speculative demand. Cultivate and develop the housing rental market, revitalize the stock housing resources, improve the long-term rental policy, and gradually make the rental and purchase housing have the same rights to enjoy public services. We will expand the supply of affordable rental housing, focusing on large cities with high population inflows.

The fourth is to promote urban renewal and transformation in an orderly manner, and improve the functional quality of existing spaces such as "three districts and one village". Promote the construction of supporting facilities such as water, electricity, air and information in old communities and the maintenance of public parts of the community, basically complete the transformation of old factories in big cities, promote the development of a number of large old blocks into new cultural, tourism, commercial consumption clusters, and adapt a number of urban villages to local conditions. Transform into an urban community or other space. Pay attention to the renovation and revitalization of existing buildings, prevent the arbitrary demolition of old buildings, relocation of residents, and felling of old trees, and explore the mode of government guidance, market operation, and public participation.

2. Building Safe, Sensitive and Resilient Cities

High population and economic agglomeration exacerbates the operational risks and vulnerabilities of cities. In recent years, some cities have caused serious loss of life and property due to disasters such as heavy rainstorms, exposing the outstanding shortcomings of Chinese cities in terms of lifeline facilities and shelters. The "Implementation Plan" focuses on building a safe, sensitive and resilient city, and proposes a series of key tasks in terms of disaster prevention and mitigation, flood control, public health, and pipeline network renewal.

The first is to improve the institutional mechanism and facility system for disaster prevention and mitigation, and enhance the city's ability to withstand shocks. Adhere to paying equal attention to preventing external floods and controlling internal waterlogging, and taking both engineering measures and ecological measures, basically forming a drainage and waterlogging prevention engineering system with source emission reduction, pipe network discharge, simultaneous storage and drainage, and emergency response to exceeding the standard, and the phenomenon of "city looking at the sea" will no longer occur. Take measures such as relocation avoidance and engineering management to prevent and control geological disasters, carry out seismic identification and reinforcement and reconstruction of important buildings, and build fire barriers in forests, grasslands and urban areas. Rationally arrange emergency shelters, improve lifeline backup facilities such as water supply, power supply, and communications, build a comprehensive national reserve base, and optimize the distribution network for important livelihood commodities, epidemic prevention materials, and emergency materials.

The second is to build a public health prevention and treatment system, and improve the capacity of epidemic monitoring, early warning and disposal. Strengthen the construction of disease prevention and control institutions, build at least one biosafety second-level laboratory in prefecture-level cities, and improve the ability of county-level disease control centers to detect and deal with outbreaks. Strengthen the ability of treatment, cities at the prefecture level and above will build infectious disease hospitals or relatively independent general hospitals with infectious disease areas, and county-level hospitals will improve the ability to monitor, diagnose and treat infectious diseases. Improve the ability to combine
