Xiao Shengfeng made a request regarding the acceleration of major projects.
Yesterday, the Dalian Municipal Government called a meeting on promotion of major projects. The meeting briefed on the accomplishment of fixed assets investment and the progress of major projects, and heard the reports of all the boroughs on their progress on major projects in the first two months of the year and their expected completion in the first quarter. Xiao Shengfeng, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Dalian Committee and executive vice mayor, requested that all localities and departments should unify thoughts, strengthen confidence, seize opportunities and accelerate major projects with a spirit of racing against time. Jiang Zhong, assistant mayor and director of the Dalian Development and Reform Commission, took part in the meeting.
For the last few years, Dalian s investment in fixed assets has increased, with its growth running high, in which major projects have played a significant role in the increase of fixed assets investment, with an expected increase of more than 20%. In 2011, there are 133 projects selected as major ones, with a total investment of 1.09 trillion yuan, accounting for 67.3% of total investment. Of these, 103 projects are key implementation ones and 30 are major pre-projects.
All of those major projects selected focus on accelerating macro urbanization, promoting three centers , restructuring industries and reinforcing infrastructure construction; the projects guaranteeing and improving people s livelihood both in number and proportion increased. Therefore, projects of macro urbanization and people s livelihood are of primary importance among priorities; in those key implementation projects, energy, transportation, park infrastructure and livelihood projects account for 59% in order to quicken the pace of Dalian s infrastructure construction, improve the city s capacity and people s living standards.
Xiao said at the meeting that we should make the situation clear and show strong confidence in the promotion of major projects. At the moment, Dalian s economy is generally developing well. A number of urgent and major infrastructure and industrial projects are needed for Dalian s macro urbanization, and they have brought about good opportunities for the increase of fixed assets investment. We should clarify targets and responsibilities, delegate tasks to each unit, department and project, carry out accountability ensuring that all project managers clearly understand their duties, and establish a scheduling system. We should improve our work style and pay close attention to the implementation of projects; work in the front line, make investigations to gather first-hand information and solve problems on site in a timely manner; work out better plans for those projects of infrastructure and public services; and make efforts to attract investment for industrial projects. We must try hard with the preparatory work, the start up and the progress of major projects.
