● City Construction
The city is making great efforts to impel the upgrading process of high-quality modern city construction with characteristics of smart capacity and low-energy consumption suitable for people’s living and working as the infrastructure equipments and city functions in all respects are getting constantly enhanced. With the green coverage rate at 53%, the zone has invested 650,000,000 Yuan to construct the Zhuohe River state water resources conservancy landscape district and has been equipped with 15000 LED street lamps becoming the first place being totally covered by the white light in Shandong province. Following the city appearance programming guidance of “One River (Zhuohe River), Two Lanes (east Jiankang Street and middle section of Weixian Road)”, related authorities have been working hard to push forward the construction in terms of the CBD, Zhuohe River Intelligence industry Park, Treasure Island Themed Park, Secondary Industry Exhibition Pavilion, Culture Media Square, Sports Park and Public Service Centre.
● Innovation System
So far, we have delivered many outstanding innovation achievements proving that the innovation system’s operation and management have gotten strengthened authentically. Some honorable reputation can be listed as follows: one province –level overseas students pioneering work garden, two state-degree high & new technology incubators, three academician workstations, six post-doctoral workstations, six high-end industry technology innovation strategy Unions, seven public technology collaborative platforms, sixteen state/province-level industry bases, twenty-one enterprise research institutions, fifty above-municipal enterprise R & D centers and so forth. Supported by the state-degree opto-electronic and bio-medical science & technology incubators, the provincial software, information service and electro-acoustic device sci-tech enterprise incubators and the high-end industry accelerators, the strength of innovation construction gets further enhancement. In view of the good job done upon the combination and coordination of multiple party joint-roles involving the manufacturing, educational, researching, executive, financial and intermediate organizations, the zone keeps intensifying its independent-innovative standards and core competitiveness so that the number of invention patents and authorization has been increasing beyond 60% every year on average.

Generally speaking, personnel in all kinds within the zone have reached more than 5000.
● Scientific & Technological Service
With the purpose of upgrading the industry standards, we are trying hard to transform the advanced manufacturing industry into the modern service industry, particularly the one with scientific and technological elements. A total investment of 1,300,000,000 Yuan is schemed to be used for the intelligence industry park, which plans to accumulate 50 enterprises’ R & D headquarters to make along-Zhuo he River district become the high-end R & D economic belt. Moreover, the following three industry bases are also taken into consideration. Firstly, the national information service outsourcing base, led by the Shandong financial data background service operation company, is planed to be developed specializing in the calling and service outsourcing business. Secondly, the national bio-medical experiment outsourcing base is schemed to be constructed on the basis of Weifang bio-medical science & technology industry district. Thirdly, the Circum-Bohai Sea Region Finance Background Service Base is also taken into consideration as the process of the finance & business district. Furthermore, the modern commodity distribution gathering district, focusing on Weichai material distribution, Neptunus material distribution, Zhongbai material distribution and Yifeng Times Plaza, is speeding up its construction tempo. Approximately 100 enterprise headquarters are estimated to get together nearby the east end of Jiankang Street and the middle section of Weixian Road so as to shape a headquarter economy accumulation belt.
● People’s livelihood guarantee
Under the guidance of “people first” principle, the educational business would be put on the top of government’s agenda so as to strengthen the livelihood construction and create the harmonious atmosphere suitable for people’s living and working. The 3 years’ pre-school free charge educational policy has been put into practice. As much as 300,000,000 Yuan is invested into the construction of high-quality modern schools including the experimental school, Zhuojing School, Qingping primary School, Zhiyuan Primary School, and Phoenix Primary School etc. As to the health care business, the zone is the first place in Weifang to carry out the basic medicine mechanism. A joint-investment combined with Weifang People‘s Hospital, value at 1,700,000,000 Yuan, is used for the construction of city residents’ health-care center. As to the family plan policy, the zone has intensified the birth rate-control and household management upon the mobile population, i.e. upon people who don’t have the permanent registered residence qualification in the city. To maintain the low-birth rate status quo, people who volunteer to abandon the chance to have another baby, particularly those with special family difficulty, will get some extra award and subsidy for the encouragement. As to the urbanization of villages, top ten concentration residential neighborhoods will soon be put into use to improve local residents’ living conditions. In addition, a batch of senior’s nursing home and orphans or disabled children’s welfare-house is in the process of construction.
