(Xinhua)
Updated: 2006-03-23 09:48 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.
