At 15:00 on the afternoon of June 3, Qiu Jian, a first-level inspector of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Sichuan Province, visited the online interview column of the website of the Sichuan Provincial People's Government and exchanged online with netizens on the theme of "implementing the new concept of high-quality development and building a new pattern of small town development in our province".
During the exchange, Qiu Jian introduced the basic situation of the reform and development of the central town in Sichuan Province, and explained the reasons why Sichuan Province proposed to promote the reform and development of the central town in the province in 2020. At the same time, the main work content of how to define the central town and promote the reform and development of the central town was sorted out and answered.
Focus 1:
Where did the reform of the central town in Sichuan Province come from?
In recent years, Sichuan Province has made remarkable achievements in the construction of small towns and accumulated rich practical experience. Since 2014, Sichuan Province has taken the "Hundred Towns Construction Action" as the starting point to promote the development of small towns. By the end of 2020, the pilot towns of the "Hundred Towns Construction Action" will integrate a total of 5.26 billion yuan of provincial finance and special funds for housing and urban-rural construction, and transfer 2.0184 million agricultural population nearby. The shortcomings of the development of small towns have been further made up, and the momentum of urban development has continued to increase.
Qiu Jian said: "At present, there are 277 key towns at the national level, 20 pilot towns for national-level development and reform, 576 pilot towns for the 'Hundred Towns Construction Action', 32 pilot towns for the reform of the provincial-level administrative management system, and 120 small towns with provincial characteristics. ”
According to Qiu Jian, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a scientific judgment on the new development stage of China's "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period. We must adhere to the new concept of promoting high-quality development and build a new pattern of integrated urban-rural development in Sichuan. Among them, the central town is an important carrier of the new urbanization process and an important bottom foundation for building a new urban and rural pattern.
It is reported that on September 1, 2020, the General Office of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Reform and Development of Central Towns (Sichuan Party Committee Office [2020] No. 17, hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"), which made overall arrangements for the reform and development of the central towns in the province and clarified a "central town" development path that meets the conditions of Sichuan Province.
Focus 2:
What are the main contents of promoting the reform and development of the central town?
Qiu Jian replied: "In the Guiding Opinions, the '6+5' work framework to promote the reform and development of central towns is clearly proposed, including 'six major upgrading projects' and 'five reform measures'. These include the implementation of infrastructure upgrading projects and efforts to improve urban functions; the implementation of industrial agglomeration upgrading projects, focusing on strengthening the integration of industry and town, deepening the reform of the administrative management system, deepening the reform of the financial and investment and financing systems, and deepening the reform of the rural property rights system. ”
In the course of the dialogue, netizens raised their own concerns: What are the main characteristics of the reform and development policy of the central town? In this administrative division adjustment, there are many townships involved in the withdrawal and merger of administrative divisions, what aspects should be paid attention to in the future construction management?
Qiu Jian also gave the answer: first, strong leadership, overall planning by the provincial party committee and provincial government, led by the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development; second, we must tailor-made, classify guidance, tailor-made according to the development and level of different economic regions in the province, and put forward zoning cultivation goals.
When it comes to the topic of the development trend of the central town in the future, Qiu Jian said that the townships involved in the reform are prone to the hidden dangers of excessive construction of municipal facilities and waste of resources in the towns and towns that have been withdrawn; there are hidden dangers of the reduction of the level of municipal facilities management services in the towns and towns that have been withdrawn; the area of the merged townships has increased, the service population has increased, and the cadres of the central towns are facing the difficulties of increasing development pressure and insufficient professional capabilities. These problems are also common problems in some central towns.
"In this regard, in the series of measures in the 'second half' of the two reforms, we have taken the lead in carrying out the special action of 'two noes and one increase' in the construction and management of township municipal facilities and villages and towns. In order to further enhance the comprehensive capabilities of small towns in reform and innovation. ”
It is understood that the special action of "two noes and one increase" refers to: carrying out the assessment and demonstration of the sewage treatment facilities in the towns and towns that have been withdrawn and merged, improving the quality and efficiency, optimizing and adjusting the domestic garbage collection, transfer and disposal system; implementing the special action of the municipal facilities of the towns that have been withdrawn and merged without reducing the level of maintenance and management; clarifying the responsibility for the management of the municipal facilities in the towns and towns that have been withdrawn, and improving the long-term mechanism for the maintenance and management of garbage and sewage facilities; and actively guiding all localities to carry out training work for the main leaders of the party and government of the top 100 central towns at the provincial level who have been put into storage.
Spot 3:
How to get public recognition for the selection of the top 100 central towns?
In the dialogue, a netizen named "Miaobi Shenghua" asked Qiu Jian: How can we select the top 100 provincial-level central towns recognized by the people?
Qiu Jian replied that the assessment index system consists of three parts: common indicators, personality indicators and satisfaction evaluation. Among them, the satisfaction evaluation indicators include 10 indicators in five aspects: urban construction, living services, economic industry, cultural protection, and social governance, which are mainly conducted through network promotion and public opinion surveys, which can effectively enable local people to participate in the selection of the top 100 provincial central towns.
Secondly, the assessment index system is a subjective and objective combination of the indicator system built on the basis of sufficient theoretical basic research and provincial research, more than half of the indicators are selected from quantifiable objective data as the evaluation standard, which can fully reflect the actual development level of the candidate towns in the library, and the assessment ranking can be relatively fair and just, and can be recognized by the people.
According to the reporter's understanding, the "Guiding Opinions" proposes: By 2025, within the scope of the central towns of the province (except for the "three prefectures" area, in principle, excluding Chengguan Town), a number of provincial-level top 100 central towns with "developed economy, complete supporting facilities, beautiful environment, thick culture, perfect governance, and extensive radiation" will be cultivated, and the development of qualified provincial top 100 central towns into county sub-centers and modern new small cities will be promoted.
Based on this goal, the "Assessment Measures" clearly follow the principle of "selecting the best among the best, classifying and cultivating, and preferring shortage to abuse", and by 2023, a total of 100 "Provincial Top 100 Central Towns" will be assessed and named. At present, the selection and evaluation work has been launched.
