  At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that day, Hu Zucai said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's urbanization rate was between 60% and 70%.

This stage is a relatively rapid development in the middle and late stages, and it is also a critical period for comprehensive transformation.

We must adhere to the path of a new type of urbanization with Chinese characteristics, deeply promote a new type of urbanization strategy centered on people, and comprehensively improve the quality of urbanization development.

  He proposed three measures:

  First, deepen the reform of the household registration system, and orderly promote the urbanization of the agricultural transfer population.

At present, there are still more than 200 million agricultural migrants who have not settled in cities, and some of those who have already settled still have the problem of low quality of urbanization. Promoting the urbanization of agricultural migrants is still the primary task of the new urbanization.

  Hu Zucai said that, on the one hand, we will continue to lower the threshold for settlement and realize the "wishfulness".

We will relax restrictions on settlement in cities other than some mega-cities, and try out a household registration system with places of usual residence to promote the orderly settlement of agricultural migrants who live in stable employment.

  On the other hand, promote equal access to basic urban public services for the permanent population, and achieve "equal treatment and everything."

At the same time, it is necessary to improve the mechanism of urbanization of the agricultural transfer population, and promote the "people, land and money linkage."

  Second, optimize the layout of urbanization and promote the coordinated development of large, medium and small cities.

  Mega cities should promote "slimming and fitness."

The first is to delineate and adhere to the boundaries of urban development, and carefully withdraw counties and establish districts.

The second is to orderly dissolve non-core functions, guide the gradual and orderly transfer of over-concentrated resource elements, and reasonably reduce the development intensity and population density of central urban areas.

The third is to develop in conjunction with surrounding small and medium-sized cities and suburban new cities, and foster and develop a number of modern metropolitan areas through the promotion of transportation integration.

  Large and medium cities should improve their functions.

It is necessary to take advantage of the relatively low overall cost of large and medium cities, and take the initiative to undertake the transfer of industries and functions of mega-cities.

  The county seat should speed up to make up for shortcomings and promote the urbanization construction with the county seat as an important carrier.

  Third, comprehensively improve the quality of the city and promote livability and industry. Promote the completion of shortcomings in public transportation, parking lots, charging piles, etc., strengthen the construction of flood control and drainage systems, promote urban waterlogging management to achieve significant results, and complete the renovation of 219,000 old communities in cities and towns completed by the end of 2000.
