Nanjing is an energetic city with agreeable natural environment,
concentrated scientific resources, various talents, and a strong cultural
atmosphere, Luo told reporters during an interview.
During the 10th five-year period, Nanjing accomplished widely-acclaimed
social and economic achievements.
Luo introduced the social, economic, and cultural development of the
city, especially its implementation of "priority on enriching the people"
project.
"This was a historical period when the city witnessed remarkable
changes," Luo said.
"Nanjing's gross domestic production (GDP) has doubled during the past
five years, reaching 241.3 billion yuan, reporting a year-on-year
increase of 14.2 percent. The past five years was also a time when the
people in Nanjing shared the most benefits. Both urban and rural
residents have seen a higher disposable income. By the end of 2005, per
capita annual disposable income of urban residents stood at 14, 997 yuan
(US$ 1,872) while that of farmers stood at 6,250 yuan (US$ 782),
reporting an annual increase of 9 percent." Luo said.
Talking about the new measures in the city's people-enriching project,
Luo said innovation was fundamental, while bringing the city's
competitive advantages to full play is the core task.
Moreover, Luo said the city not only was seeking a balance between
economic development and environmental protection.
Culture and historical inheritance are the soul of Nanjing. While
carrying out the people-enriching project, the city government has also
paid enormous attention to maintaining the sound ecological environment,
in an attempt to transform economic growth model and achieve sustainable
development, according to Luo.
The party chief vowed to stick to the strategy of scientific development
and the goal of building an affluent and harmonious society during 11th
five-year period.
"The per capita annual disposable income of the city's urban residents is
expected to reach 16,000 yuan (US$ 2,000) and those of the rural
residents will reach 8,000 yuan (US$ 1,000) by the end of 2007," Luo said.
