The blueprint for the next five years was released yesterday, setting
strategic goals for the city's economic and social development. Specific
measures are also laid out to achieve the goals of building Shenzhen into
a recycling society, accelerating the development of the four pillar
industries (high-tech, finance, logistics and the cultural industry)
while promoting innovation, building a harmonious society, harmonizing
development in and outside the special economic zone and building an
ecological city, among others.
The Shenzhen Daily selected some of the specific goals and measures from
the draft for comments and suggestions from our readers. We will forward
valuable feedback to the appropriate government officials.
During the 11th five-year period, ending in 2010, and the period leading
up to 2020, the strategic goals for the economic and social development
of Shenzhen are: building Shenzhen into an influential international
high-tech city in the Asia-Pacific area, establishing Shenzhen as a key
city in international logistics, a center for international finance and
trade, exhibition and international culture communication, and an
international tourist city; building Shenzhen into a leading regional
internationalized city based on the realization of modernization within
the next 15 years.
The city's annual GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate is expected to
average 13 percent by 2010 with GDP reaching 900 billion yuan (US$11.25
billion) and per capita GDP US$12,000 in 2010. By 2015, the city's GDP is
expected to reach 1,500 billion yuan with the annual GDP growth rate
averaging 10 percent and per capita GDP reaching US$15,000. By 2020, the
city's annual GDP growth rate is expected to average 8 percent with GDP
reaching 2,000 billion yuan and per capita GDP US$20,000 in 2020.
These goals will be achieved with the strategy of innovation, which
includes building an innovative government, boosting innovation-oriented
development, advancing innovation-oriented industry, and improving the
environment for innovation.
