The tide surged in the Pujiang River, and the east wind came. "Continue to be the vanguard of reform and opening up and the pioneer of innovation and development" Shanghai is the forefront of China's reform and opening up. During his visit to Shanghai in 2018, the general secretary once again put forward his ardent hope for Shanghai: "dare to shoulder the heaviest burden and bite the hardest bone, play a pioneering, exemplary and leading role, and make greater contributions to the reform and development of the country." Hundreds of boats compete for the current, and those who work hard are the first. Through the iconic "Seagull gate", China's first free trade zone - Shanghai free trade zone appeared in front of us. In October, 2018, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the construction of the free trade zone, the general secretary once again instructed: "build the pilot free trade zone into a new highland of reform and opening up in the new era". "One 'breakthrough' and one 'trial' have suddenly opened up the direction of reform in the deep water area." Wang Lianfeng, head of the third registration section of the Pudong New Area Market Supervision Bureau, said that the reform of commercial registration has been advancing, the threshold of access is getting lower and lower, and the registration efficiency is getting higher and higher. Shanghai Free Trade Zone adheres to institutional innovation as the core, the opening-up efforts are constantly increased, the business environment is constantly optimized, and the "seed" of reform sown continues to usher in a good harvest: in 2021, Shanghai established more than 1800 new enterprises per day, and the number of enterprises owned by 1000 people ranked first in the country; More than 300 institutional innovation achievements were born here and copied and promoted nationwide. Shanghai plays a leading role in the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. "Put scientific and technological innovation in a more important position and play a good 'Pro door kick'" Zhangjiang Science City is like a big installation of "Nautilus" - Shanghai light source is bright for 24 hours. This "super microscope" has received more than 30000 users in total, providing key assistance in many basic scientific research fields. Zhangjiang Science City is the core bearing area for Shanghai to build a global science and technology innovation center. In November, 2018, facing the scientific and technological workers of Zhangjiang Science City, the general secretary said with earnest words: "put scientific and technological innovation in a more important position and play a good 'foot on the door'". In November 2020, at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pudong's development and opening up, the general secretary sent a message to Pudong: "make every effort to strengthen the innovation engine and create a new highland of independent innovation." "Building a global science and technology innovation center is the topic given by the general secretary to Shanghai." Peng song, executive deputy director of Shanghai Science and technology foundation, said, "we aim at the forefront of world science and technology, continue to strengthen basic research, applied basic research and core technology research, and speed up the construction of national laboratories." In 2021, the proportion of R & D expenditure in Shanghai's GDP will reach 4.1%; The construction of the world's largest, most comprehensive and most functional photon science facility cluster has been accelerated in Zhangjiang; Shanghai has made important scientific and technological progress such as "Jiaolong", "Tiangong", "Beidou" and "Mozi"; The work of obtaining evidence and preparing for delivery of C919 large passenger aircraft was carried out in an orderly manner, and the development of cr929 long-range wide body passenger aircraft was carried out in a solid manner Innovative vitality is bursting out, injecting new momentum into Shanghai's high-quality development. In 2021, there were more than 20000 high-tech enterprises in Shanghai, and the scale of the three leading industries of integrated circuit, biomedicine and artificial intelligence reached 1.27 trillion yuan, an increase of 14.7% year-on-year. In recent years, the enterprise has broken through a series of "neck sticking" technologies, launched a number of China's and the world's first products, and exported domestic equipment to the United States, Japan and other developed countries. At present, the Shanghai Science and technology innovation center has formed a basic framework and put forward a broader goal: by 2025, it will strive to become an important source of new scientific discoveries, new technological inventions, new industrial directions and new ideas for development. "Continue to explore and find a new way to manage megacities with Chinese characteristics" Strolling along the riverside of Yangpu, Shanghai, the greenways are winding, egrets are flying, and the former "industrial rust belt" has become a "life show belt". In recent years, Shanghai has successively connected the 45km riverside coastline of the Huangpu River and the 42km public coastline of the Suzhou River. The "one river, one river" beads form a chain to provide high-quality public space for the people; From 2017 to 2021, the number of parks in Shanghai increased from 217 to 532. Yangpu District was the first water plant and power plant in China, but as an old industrial area, it has an old face and a weak foundation. In the past five years, a total of 3.08 million square meters of old area reconstruction has been implemented in the central urban area of Shanghai center, involving 154000 households. Chen Weiwei, deputy director of Pudong urban transport center, said that the figures reflect the public sentiment and public opinion. We should find and solve problems in a timely manner through intelligent means. Modern urban governance also needs to pool the wisdom of the people. In November 2019, the general secretary visited Gubei Civic Center in Changning District, Shanghai, and proposed for the first time that "people's democracy is a kind of democracy in the whole process". At that time, Zhu Guoping, deputy to the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Party branch of Changning Pingju studio, combined with her own work, expressed her understanding of the general secretary's requirements in plain words: "from installing elevators to serving the people, we should listen to the opinions of the people more." By the end of 2021, 25 grassroots legislative contact points in Shanghai had participated in the solicitation of opinions on 20 national laws and 64 local regulations, and more than 530 legislative suggestions had been adopted. By taking the initiative to ask the government, needs and plans of the people, more people have proposed to transform them into "golden think tanks" for urban development and "golden ideas" for community governance. With the guidance of "one network and unified management" of urban operation, we will improve the level of urban intelligence, build more online and offline public opinion "through trains", and continue to empower, increase energy and reduce burden for the grass-roots level... Facing the new issues faced by the governance of megacities, Shanghai will continue to draw a "fine painting" of urban governance, and continue to meet the people's yearning for a better life. The mission is like a mountain, and the original heart is like a torch. (Xinhua News Agency)
