The leaders of the provincial "14th Five-Year" planning preparation work in Shanxi, Shandong, Hubei, Qinghai, Guizhou, Hebei, Liaoning and other places are all held by the provincial party secretary or governor. The progress varies from place to place, but the provincial leadership group meeting of the "14th Five-Year Plan" has been held.

Provide basis for research

  Although various localities have recently convened intensive meetings to study and formulate the "14th Five-Year Plan", the preliminary planning and research on this matter have been earlier. In some places, this work was started a year or two ago. The preliminary research of the Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development includes basic investigation, information collection, subject research, and demonstration of major projects included in the plan. One of the main tasks is preliminary research.

  Starting from the end of 2018, the Tianjin Municipal Development and Reform Commission has openly solicited more than 120 pre-study topics for the "14th Five-Year Plan" from the public and 35 municipal departments, covering economic development, public services, infrastructure, and social undertakings. On this basis, we learned from the country and relevant provinces and cities to select topics, highlighted new development concepts and Tianjin characteristics, and finally identified 31 research topics. At the beginning of June 2019, Tianjin announced the major research topics in the early stage of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and openly selected research units for the public. After rigorous review by experts, by June 15, 2019, 30 institutions with great influence at home and abroad and rich research experience in related fields have finally been determined to undertake research projects.

  The research topics of the Five-Year Plan are generally open to tenders to the whole society, with thousands of experts and researchers participating in the research, and eventually a research report will be formed to directly serve for drafting the plan outline and provide an important reference.

  The city of Chongqing also initiated the preparation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" earlier. On July 29, 2019, Chongqing Municipality held a "14th Five-Year Plan" working meeting to determine that the work will last two years and be carried out in three stages. Among them, June 2019 to March 2020 is the basic thinking stage, which is mainly to organize and carry out preliminary research on major issues and form the basic thinking of the city's development plan.

  It is not difficult to see that to form a final planning plan, preliminary research and demonstration are very important. No investigation, no right to speak. Correct planning is inseparable from a clear understanding of the general trend of development, as well as a solid investigation of the situation at the grassroots level. Since last year, the research work has continued to the present.

  After conducting research and communication, we can further implement and advance on the basis of previous research. On August 4, Tianjin held a "14th Five-Year Plan" research seminar. It is worth noting that before the meeting, Tianjin leaders conducted special investigations on major issues of Tianjin's economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. .

Involvement of wide-ranging speeches, collegial resolutions, and quarrels. In the process of preparing the "14th Five-Year Plan", the brainstorming was particularly evident.

  An important manifestation of brainstorming is the principle of "open door to plan".

  For example, this year, the "14th Five-Year Plan" for water ecological and environmental protection in key river basins tried for the first time to "open the door" to the whole process of society. On July 27th, the "14th Five-Year Plan" Promotion Meeting for Water Ecological Environmental Protection in Key River Basins was held, emphasizing that the planning will stick to the "Four Where" such as the problem, the crux, the countermeasure, and the implementation.
