Implement the construction project of the Southern Jiangsu Modernization Demonstration Zone, striving to become a "larger city"; implement the ecological green city construction project, with 10 ecological functional zones and 5 suburban parks to be constructed within the year. On January 27, the Changzhou municipal government held an executive meeting to list 30 key projects for 2014.
Strive to become a "larger city"
The 30 key projects in 2014 are divided into six categories: basic modernization construction, transformation and development, urban and rural construction, people's livelihood and happiness, ecological civilization, and party building work. Among them, the basic modernization construction category is divided into two items.
The first item is the "Southern Jiangsu Modernization Demonstration Zone Construction Project." The goal is for the modernization process score of Southern Jiangsu to reach above 80 points; comprehensively improve difficult indicators such as the proportion of added value of the service industry, residents' income, air quality, and surface water quality; actively promote major matters included in national and provincial plans and implementation opinions, striving for breakthroughs. Guarantee measures include preparing a plan for the integration of industry and city innovation demonstration zone and a provincial pilot plan; striving to become a "larger city"; approval and acceptance of the opening of Changzhou Airport Port; and substantial progress in the application for the National Historic and Cultural City.
The second item is the county economic leap project, with target tasks including that the growth rate of major economic indicators in counties exceeds the city average.
Implement the ecological green city construction project.
Urban and rural construction includes seven projects such as urban and rural transportation construction, urban function enhancement, rail transit construction, smart city construction, and central town construction.
The goal of the rail transit construction project is to complete the preliminary preparations for Rail Transit Line 1, complete the preliminary work for Rail Transit Line 2 to be submitted for approval, and complete supporting projects for Rail Transit Line 1 (renovation of Xintang North Road, Hongmei South Road, and Lihua Road).
Urban and rural transportation construction projects include building Changzhou North Bus Passenger Station, Lihe Bus Hub Center, implementing a two-year renovation plan for bus stops without shelters in the urban area, and building Changzhou East Bus Passenger Station.
The main content of the ecological green city construction project is to focus on the 33 ecological red line protection areas designated by the provincial government in Changzhou City, implementing the construction of 10 ecological functional zones and 5 suburban parks within the year. Initiate the construction of 8 medium and large ecological parks with a total area of 173 hectares. Implement the construction of 13 small ecological green spaces, adding 10 hectares of green land. Launch 8 ecological corridor construction projects totaling 129 km. Start the construction of 20 ecological greenways totaling 187 km. Within the year, build the greenway slow traffic system on the north side of the Old Canal River and waterfront ecological greenways such as Heng Tang River and road section ecological greenways such as Longcheng Avenue. In the first half of the year, start construction of Heng Tang River Wetland Park, Tongzi River Wetland Park, Zaojiang River Wetland Park (including Sanjiangyuan Park), and Luanzhou Wetland Park.
In addition, the ecological civilization construction project will be implemented to strengthen comprehensive management of water and atmospheric environments, complete comprehensive environmental management of 15 rivers including Cailing Port, and replace 60% of coal-fired boilers with clean energy within a 406 square kilometer non-burning zone.
What is a "larger city"?
In 1984, according to the provisions in the Local Organization Law that cities approved by the State Council as "larger cities" have local legislative power, the State Council approved thirteen cities including Tangshan, Datong, Baotou, Dalian, Anshan, Fushun, Jilin, Qiqihar, Qingdao, Wuxi, Huainan, Luoyang, and Chongqing as "larger cities." The Standing Committees of the People's Congresses of these cities can lawfully draft local regulations needed by their cities.
In 1988, Ningbo was approved; in 1992, Zibo, Handan, and Benxi; in 1993, Xuzhou and Suzhou and four other cities were approved as larger cities. In 1997, Chongqing was upgraded to a municipality directly under the central government. Since then, the number of larger cities has remained at 18.
What are the benefits of becoming a "larger city"?
As a "larger city" among prefecture-level cities, it essentially obtains the legislative status and legislative power of a sub-provincial city.
With local legislative power, it can formulate local regulations and local government rules. For example, the People's Congress of a "larger city" has the right to independently create new administrative licensing items as long as they do not conflict with laws and administrative regulations. A prefecture-level city that is not a "larger city" can only issue measures to attract foreign investment and innovate systems as "normative documents" or "files," which have limited external effect. Conversely, if the content of these "documents" is elevated to "local regulations" or "local government rules," then they legitimately have the status and effect of "law."
