Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Transformation and Upgrading of Industrial Parks in Jinshan District
These Opinions are formulated to actively implement the guiding principles of documents such as the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Transformation and Development of the North and South Regions” and the “Action Plan for Jinshan District to Comprehensively Promote New Development and Vigorously Shape a New Urban Image,” to promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial parks, and to achieve a shift in the driving forces of regional development.
I. Guiding Principles
Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development philosophy. We will thoroughly implement the strategic goals of the “Two Zones and One Stronghold” and the strategic requirements of the “North-South Transformation,” guided by the principle of “judging success by four criteria.” With industrial transformation as the core, we will coordinate spatial and governance transformations, and adhere to the principles of promoting transformation through investment attraction, cultivation, and evaluation.We will focus on enhancing the industrial level and economic density of the parks, accelerating the transformation of growth drivers and spatial renewal, and promoting the expansion of production capacity in leading industries and the improvement of quality and efficiency in emerging industries, thereby providing solid support for the parks to become key hubs for establishing the “Shanghai Manufacturing” brand.
II. Basic Principles
1. Adhere to project-driven development and promote transformation through investment attraction. Focus on leading industries, highlight distinctive industries, and target future-oriented industries. Strengthen investment promotion efforts to accelerate the introduction of a cohort of high-caliber, high-value-added, and high-growth market entities. Optimize the structure of growth drivers, industrial structure, and efficiency structure, and strive to build a new framework for industrial transformation.
2. Adhere to innovation-led development and promote transformation through cultivation. Treat technological innovation as the core driving force for sustainable development. With a focus on high-end development, a strategy of brand building, digitalization as a means, and distinctive features as a competitive advantage, accelerate the digital transformation of industrial parks and enhance their innovative momentum.
3. Adhere to a results-oriented approach, using evaluation to drive transformation. Establish an evaluation system for high-quality industrial development to ensure that industrial capabilities align with the value of project land. Implement categorized guidance and comprehensive measures to accelerate the transition from old to new growth drivers, promote the concentration of resources and factors in high-quality enterprises, and continuously enhance economic density.
III. Main Objectives
Centered on Jinshan’s “1+4+X” industrial system and overall layout, we will place greater emphasis on factor support, spatial planning, and economic density, while highlighting the role of specialized industrial drivers, digital empowerment, and service-oriented transformation in industrial parks to build a series of high-quality industrial spaces.By 2025, the annual average growth rate of industrial output value for enterprises above designated size will reach 7%, the annual average growth rate of output value in specialized industrial parks will reach 10%, the cumulative number of newly added industrial enterprises above designated size will exceed 100, the cumulative number of newly added specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative enterprises will exceed 300, the annual average growth rate of output per unit of land in industrial parks will reach 8%,and the annual growth rate of tax revenue per unit of land in industrial parks will reach 10%. A total of more than 4,500 mu of low-efficiency land will be reclaimed and upgraded.
IV. Key Tasks
(1) Coordinate Resource Endowments and Systematically Advance Park Transformation
1. Uphold the guiding principles. Industrial parks must align with the district’s 14th Five-Year Plan for industrial development, summarize and analyze regional foundations and development advantages, clarify the functional positioning and key development industries for each park in the next phase, deepen their focus on core industries, seize opportunities in emerging sectors, and comprehensively enhance industrial capabilities. [☆ All towns (parks), District Economic Commission]
2. Prioritize Resource Allocation. Industrial parks must analyze their land, factory space, and supporting infrastructure resources to clarify available capacity. By coordinating these resources, they should enhance their development capacity to ensure that “quality projects have sufficient land and quality industries have sufficient space,” thereby promoting coordinated and efficient industrial development. [☆ All towns (industrial parks), District Planning and Resources Bureau, District Investment Promotion Office]
3. Strengthen policy support. Industrial parks must fully leverage municipal and district-level policies, align them with their own industrial positioning and resource endowments, and introduce differentiated regional policies.
