I. A breakthrough was made in the reform of the investment system, and the dominant position of enterprises in investment was basically established.
Since the reform and opening up 30 years ago, the investment system in our province has completely broken the highly centralized investment management mode under the traditional planned economy system. In the examination and approval of projects, from the past, the examination and approval was graded according to the quota, to the examination and approval of those who invest below the national quota; In terms of investment subjects, it broke the highly centralized national single investment mode under the planned economy system, defined the basic orientation of enterprises as investment subjects and the market to guide investment, initially formed a new pattern of diversification of investment subjects, multi-channel sources of funds, diversification of investment methods and marketization of project construction, which effectively promoted the rapid economic and social development.
Since 2002, new progress and breakthroughs have been made in accelerating the establishment and gradual improvement of the new investment system of "investment marketization, independent decision-making by enterprises, independent loan examination by banks, diversified financing methods, standardized intermediary services and effective macro-control". First, improve the examination and approval system, approval system and filing system of investment projects, improve the government investment decision-making mechanism, and focus on increasing support for agriculture, rural areas and farmers, energy conservation and emission reduction, independent innovation, social undertakings and coordinated regional development. The second is to change the way of investment regulation and control, standardize the order of project construction, change the traditional way of relying mainly on the approval of investment projects in the past, comprehensively use economic, legal and administrative means to regulate social investment by formulating development and construction plans, formulating and adjusting industrial policies, and establishing industry access systems, and strictly implement the access standards of construction projects in terms of land, environmental protection, energy conservation, technology and safety. The third is to adjust and optimize the investment structure of key industries, accelerate the structural adjustment of industries with high energy consumption, high pollution, resource consumption and overcapacity, and strengthen the monitoring and regulation of the real estate market. Fourth, actively encourage and guide private investment, relax the investment fields of social capital, and allow social capital to enter industries and fields that are not prohibited by laws and regulations such as infrastructure and public utilities. Fifth, further broaden the financing channels of enterprise investment projects, allow all kinds of enterprises to raise investment funds by equity financing, and gradually establish a multi-level capital market with complementary financing methods. Sixth, continue to deepen the reform of the bidding system, operate the bidding market transparently and openly, and strengthen the daily supervision of key links in bidding.
Second, the scale of investment has been continuously expanded, and the stamina for economic development has been significantly enhanced.
Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, our province has made all-round, multi-level and large-scale investment and construction in agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, industry, transportation, postal communication and social undertakings. 1978, the total investment of the whole province was only 13 1 100 million yuan, which exceeded 50 billion yuan in 2002, 200 billion yuan in 2005, 300 billion yuan in 2006 and 509 billion yuan in 2007. In the "troika" that drives economic growth, the contribution of investment to economic growth has gradually increased, and now it has surpassed consumption to become the first driving force for economic growth. Especially since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the investment rate of our province has increased year by year, from 36% in 2000 to 46.4% in 2007, and the contribution rate of investment to GDP growth has reached 58. 1%, which has effectively promoted the sustained, stable and rapid growth of our national economy. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, investment and construction have experienced different historical development stages with the economic and social development of the province.
(1) From 1979 to 1989, our province is basically in a typical "shortage economy" stage, the share of investment demand changes complicated, the investment scale expands, and the investment growth rate fluctuates greatly, forming growth peaks and valleys at 1982 and 1989 respectively.
(2) 1990 From 2000 to 2000, the economy of our province gradually got rid of the trouble of shortage economy and realized the historic transformation from seller's market to buyer's market. The investment demand has obviously expanded, and the investment growth rate has fluctuated greatly. Especially after Comrade Xiaoping's southern tour in 1992, our province, like the whole country, rose a new wave of investment and construction, just like in 1992 and 65438. After that, it gradually declined under the national macro-control, and the investment growth rate dropped to about 6% in 1998 and 1999. During this period, the accumulated investment was 539.94 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 20.2%, which was 0.2 percentage points higher than the national average.
(III) During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, in order to implement the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way put forward by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the provincial party committee and government, on the basis of further deepening the understanding of the provincial situation and comprehensively grasping the development environment at home and abroad, made a major decision to implement the "86 1" action plan in February 2003, building eight industrial bases and six basic projects, making great efforts to upgrade the industrial level and increase investment. In 2005, the investment in fixed assets of the whole society reached 252,654.38 billion yuan, an average annual increase of 23.8% over 2000. In the past five years, the total investment in fixed assets has reached 806,543.8 billion yuan, 2.2 times that of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and exceeding the total investment of the whole society 1.979 in 2000.
(IV) From 2006 to 2007, Scientific Outlook on Development was fully implemented in our province, and the macro-control was continuously strengthened and improved. We adhered to the principle of "regulation in development and development in regulation", vigorously adjusted the investment structure, strengthened the construction of weak links, significantly expanded the investment scale, further optimized the investment structure, and the investment operation showed a sound and rapid development trend, initially getting rid of the "rapid decline, late recovery and slow rise" in previous macro-control. In 2006, the investment was 354.47 billion yuan, an increase of 40.6% over the previous year. In 2007, it increased to 509.37 billion yuan, an increase of 43.7%, which was higher than the national average by 16.7 and 18.9 percentage points respectively, and the growth rate was among the highest in China. In 2007, the total investment of our province ranked ninth in the country, rising by 6 places from 1982, and the proportion of the whole country increased from 2.8% to 3.7%.
Third, the investment structure has been continuously optimized, and investment has become the driving force for industrial restructuring.
Investment structure is the forerunner of industrial structure. Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, our province has continuously adjusted its investment structure and made efforts to make investment conform to the direction of social and economic development. The investment structure is more reasonable and the guiding role is increasingly obvious.
(1) Diversified and rapid development of investors.
Before 1978, the main investor was the state-owned economy. After the reform and opening up, with the introduction of a series of relevant national policies, a good investment environment and a growing economic situation have stimulated the enthusiasm of diversified investors, and gradually formed a pattern of common development of various economic types such as state-owned, collective, urban and rural individuals, foreign businessmen, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and a multi-level and diversified investment system has basically taken shape.
1. Private capital investment is active, which enhances the endogeneity and autonomy of investment growth. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, our province has carried out a series of reforms on the traditional investment system. In 2002, the provincial government issued "Several Opinions on Encouraging and Guiding Private Investment in Anhui Province", which opened the fields for private capital to enter, encouraged private capital to participate in economic construction in various ways, provided all-round services for private investment projects in terms of industrial policy, tax policy, fund coordination and legal protection, cleared obstacles for the development of private economy and created a good and free environment. After 30 years of development, private investment has made a qualitative leap, and the total investment has been expanding, becoming the main force of investment growth in the whole society. In 2007, the private investment in the province reached 267.63 billion yuan, which was 5,946.2 times higher than that of 1980, with an average annual growth rate of 38%, which was higher than that of the whole society 14.6 percentage points, and contributed 6 1.7% to the investment growth. The proportion of private investment in the total social investment rose from 2.6% to 52.4%.
2. Foreign investors and investments from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have developed rapidly from scratch. For more than 30 years, with the deepening of reform and opening up, our province has made great efforts to create a strong atmosphere of "pro-business, wealthy businessmen and safe business" by virtue of its unique geographical location, rich natural resources, concentrated scientific and educational resources and low production costs, and made full use of foreign capital from scratch, from small to large, from point to area. 1984 from the establishment of Anhui Amway synthetic leather co., ltd., the first foreign-invested enterprise, to 2007, the actual utilization of foreign direct investment in the province totaled 9.83 billion US dollars, with an average annual growth rate of 40.7%. Merchants who invest in Anhui come from more than 90 countries and regions, such as the United States, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and Virgin Islands, and their investment fields involve transportation, electricity and energy. A number of internationally renowned multinational companies such as Unilever, Hitachi, Siemens, ABB, Saint-Gobain, Microsoft, Delphi and Wal-Mart have invested in our province. At present, there are 40 Fortune 500 enterprises outside our province, and foreign-invested enterprises have more than 320,000 employees in Anhui.
3. Eastward development has achieved positive results. As early as the early 1990 s, at the beginning of Pudong development, our province keenly seized the opportunity and put forward "developing Wanjiang to echo Pudong"; Since then, the strategy of "one line and two points" has been launched, and in 2003, "integration into the Yangtze River Delta" was proposed. In 2005, it further put forward the strategy of "developing eastward", accelerated its integration into the Yangtze River Delta, and took the initiative to undertake the industrial transfer in the Yangtze River Delta, which was formally included in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" as one of the six strategies in the following year. "Eastward strategy" is a strategy with overall influence put forward by our province on the basis of deepening opening up. In recent years, with the steady progress of eastward development, the opening to the outside world has been further expanded. From 2002 to 2007, the actual utilization of funds outside the province has exceeded 500 billion yuan, and more than 55% of foreign investment has come from the Yangtze River Delta region. At present, there are more than 400,000 Zhejiang businessmen in Anhui, with an investment of several hundred billion yuan. There are more and more enterprises invested by Shanghai in Anhui. A number of well-known enterprises such as Shanghai Huayi, Zhejiang Zheneng and Jiangsu Yurun have come to invest in Anhui. For example, Shanghai Electric Power Group and Zhejiang Zheneng Group cooperated with Huainan Mining Group respectively to invest in the construction of Tianji Power Plant and Fengtai Power Plant with 4× 600,000 kW units, and the generated electricity was included in the power balance plan of Shanghai and Zhejiang provinces. Shanghai Huayi Group will build a coal chemical base in Anhui with a total investment of 30 billion yuan. Agricultural development is also very popular. More than 100 agricultural enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta have invested in agriculture in Anhui. Adhere to the eastward development, actively participate in the Pan-Yangtze River Delta division of labor and cooperation, give full play to its own advantages, build a pilot area and a demonstration area to undertake the industrial transfer in the Yangtze River Delta, and expand more development space for our province to accelerate its rise.
(B) The adjustment of investment structure has promoted the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.
1. Investment in the tertiary industry accelerated and its proportion increased. Before the reform and opening up, the focus of investment and construction in our province was to strengthen production and construction. At the beginning of the reform and opening-up, the proportion of investment in the above three industries in cities and towns was 1.9: 66. 1: 32, and the secondary industry was dominant. Since the reform and opening up, governments at all levels have attached great importance to the development of the tertiary industry. While carrying out production and construction, they have arranged a large amount of funds for the construction of tertiary industry projects, especially further increasing investment in real estate, transportation facilities, public services and other areas related to the basic life of ordinary people. In 2007, the province's tertiary industry investment reached 27 1.33 billion yuan, and the proportion of tertiary industry investment was adjusted to 2.2∶44.6∶53.2. The evolution of investment structure directly affects the change of economic structure. The proportion of added value of the three industries in the province was adjusted from 65438+47.2:35.5: 17.3 in 2007 to 16.3:44.7:39 in 2007.
2, 86 1 "action plan to promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Since 2004, our province has actively implemented the "86 1" action plan, with industrialization as the core and structural adjustment as the main line, covering economy, society, population, resources, environment and other aspects, involving automobile, household appliances, equipment manufacturing, chemical industry, agricultural and sideline products processing and other manufacturing industries, energy, raw materials and other basic industries, electronic information, modern Chinese medicine and other high-tech industries. According to statistics, in the past four years, the "86 1" action plan has completed a total investment of 51510.6 billion yuan, accounting for 39.4% of the total fixed assets investment in the same period; 746 key projects started, and 46 1 project was completed and put into operation.
3. Infrastructure investment has been increasing. Infrastructure is an important symbol of a country's comprehensive strength and modernization level. For a long time, the backward infrastructure has been restricting the economic development of our province. After the reform and opening up, in order to implement the policy of ensuring key construction and alleviating "bottleneck", our province organized and built a number of weak links projects in economic development such as transportation, post and telecommunications, electric power and municipal construction, and successively built a number of major projects that have a bearing on the overall situation. Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the investment has been further increased, especially the pace of infrastructure construction such as flood control and security projects, access projects and information projects has been accelerated, with remarkable results. In 2007, the province's infrastructure investment was 65.438+048.58 billion yuan, 440 times that of 65.438+0978, with an average annual increase of 23.4%. The proportion of total social investment increased from 25.8% to 29.2%. This will play a positive role in improving the investment environment, attracting domestic and foreign funds and accelerating economic development.
Fourth, investment and construction have achieved fruitful results, and urban and rural areas are changing with each passing day.
Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, investment in fixed assets has played an important role in strengthening economic strength, enhancing the stamina of economic development, promoting industrialization and urbanization, adjusting industrial structure and improving people's living conditions.
(1) remarkable achievements have been made in agriculture, forestry and water conservancy construction. Since the reform and opening up, with the introduction of a series of central policies to support agriculture and benefit farmers, with the goal of promoting rural development, increasing agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income, our province has coordinated urban and rural development, increased investment in rural infrastructure construction, accelerated the pace of investment in eco-forestry and eco-agriculture, and especially increased investment in technological innovation of rural production bases for bulk agricultural and forestry products such as grain and livestock. Leading enterprises in deep processing of aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, bamboo flowers and agricultural products, the scale of modern agriculture is expanding; Strengthening the management of the main stream of Huaihe River and flood control in the Yangtze River has enhanced the ability to resist natural disasters. Since 2006, with the continuous advancement of new rural construction, agricultural investment has been further strengthened. From 1979 to 2007, the province has completed a total investment of 74.43 billion yuan in agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, and successively built a series of key projects, such as comprehensive development of the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, regulation of the main stream of the Huaihe River, irrigation and agricultural projects in Huaibei, reinforcement of the main dyke of the Yangtze River, and flood control in Linhuaigang, which effectively improved agricultural production conditions and enhanced agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities. Promote the adjustment of agricultural and rural economic structure, lay a solid foundation for increasing farmers' income, and at the same time,
(2) Brilliant achievements in industrial construction. Before the reform and opening up, due to the imprisonment of closed product economy, industrial production and construction in our province were in a long-term lag state. Reform and opening up have brought vigorous vitality and vigor to the industrial development of our province, and the rise of pillar industries and emerging industries has created a new era of industrial development. Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the process of industrialization has been further promoted, especially the strategy of strengthening the province by industry has been implemented, and the scale of industrial investment has been continuously expanded. 1979 to 2007, the province's industrial investment totaled 799.56 billion yuan, accounting for 35% of the total investment in the same period. Large-scale industrial construction has improved the industrial structure, cultivated advantageous industries such as automobiles, equipment manufacturing, household appliances, chemicals and rubber tires, deep processing of food and agricultural and sideline products, energy and raw materials, and built not only many small enterprises, but also a number of large and medium-sized backbone enterprises with modern technical level. In 2007, there were 1 01home enterprises whose main business income exceeded1100 million yuan. According to the proportion of enterprises with sales revenue exceeding 100 million yuan in the whole province, the industrial concentration rate reached 80.4%. The sales revenue of machinery, metallurgy and light industry exceeded 1000 billion yuan, and the automobile output reached 659,000, ranking seventh in the country. The number of industrial enterprises with sales income exceeding 65.438+0 billion yuan grew from scratch, reaching 654.38+00 in 2007, among which the sales income of Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Tongling Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Conch Group and Provincial Electric Power Company exceeded 30 billion yuan. Among the top 500 enterprises in China in 2007, there were 10 in Anhui; Among the top 500 manufacturing enterprises in China, Anhui has 13. Jiang Qi's automobile chassis output ranks first in the country, Fengyuan's citric acid output ranks first in the world, and Masteel's high-speed wire rod and wheel tires rank at the domestic advanced level; The electrolytic copper output of Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group ranks first in the same industry in China and fifth in the world. Conch production 14 years has been ranked first in the national cement industry and third in the world cement industry. In 2007, household refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners ranked the top three in China. The output of color TV sets ranks eighth. Our province has become one of the main production bases of household appliances in China, and has initially realized the transformation from a large agricultural province to an industrial province.
Great progress has been made in energy construction. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, while accelerating energy development, expanding the total energy production, promoting the balance between energy supply and demand, and consolidating the status of East China's energy supply base, our province has vigorously adjusted and optimized the energy structure and built a stable, economical and clean energy supply system by relying on scientific and technological progress and innovation. Deepen the reform of the energy system, implement the principle of paying equal attention to resource development, utilization and conservation, vigorously develop circular economy, make full use of both domestic and foreign resources and markets, and promote the healthy development of the energy industry. After years of construction, the energy bottleneck restricting the rapid economic development of our province has basically been alleviated, and the Huaibei 100 million tons coal production base has been initially established. In 2007, the province's raw coal output was 9 1 1.2 million tons, ranking ninth in the country; As an important part of East China Power Grid, the largest inter-provincial combined power grid in China, Anhui Power Grid has developed into a unified power grid with thermal power as the main power, hydropower as the auxiliary power, 500 kV transmission lines as the backbone and 220 kV lines as the power grid, with a complete hierarchical and zoning structure. The 500 kV middle and east channel transmission project has been completed and put into operation, and the west channel project is progressing smoothly, which basically meets the current needs of Anhui electric power transmission to the east and facilitates the transformation of resource advantages into economic advantages. In 2007, the province's power generation was 84.76 billion kWh, ranking 16 nationwide, and its installed capacity has reached 1.9 1.9 million kilowatts.
(3) Great progress has been made in traffic construction. For a long time, the infrastructure construction in our province has been seriously lagging behind, with traffic congestion and poor information. After the reform and opening up, our province adhered to overall planning, scientific layout and reasonable arrangement, built a modern comprehensive transportation network with advanced functions, high efficiency and convenience, and initially established a comprehensive transportation system consisting of roads, waterways, railways and civil aviation. In the past 30 years, the transportation investment in our province has been 18 162 billion yuan. Today, Anhui has become a "golden corridor" for economic and social exchanges in the eastern, central and western regions.
In terms of highway construction, the 30 years of reform and opening up are also 30 years of rapid development of highway construction. From 1995, the first expressway and Ning expressway in the province were built, and the northern section of Hehuaifu expressway was opened to traffic by the end of 2007. The whole province has formed the main skeleton of "three verticals and six horizontals" intercity expressway, with national and provincial highways extending in all directions, realizing six-hour traffic from north to south and three-hour traffic from east to west. It only takes half an hour to get to the expressway in each county. By the end of 2007, the total mileage of highways in the whole province had reached 148372 km, and the density of highway network was among the highest in China, among which the mileage of expressway reached 2206 km, ranking among the highest in China 10. Rural roads are becoming more and more dense. Since the large-scale implementation of the "Village-to-Village Access" project in 2005, 28,700 kilometers of cement roads and oil roads have been built in front of farmers' houses, realizing the access of oil roads in villages and towns, and more than 90% of administrative villages in the province have been connected with shuttle buses, which has effectively promoted the construction of new countryside.
In terms of railway construction, there were many "debts" in the past, and there was not even a railway across the east and west in the province. Low grade, scattered lines, many broken roads and unsystematic. Since the reform and opening up, the investment in railway construction has been increasing. During the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" to the "Seventh Five-Year Plan", Anhui-Jiangxi Line, Fuhuai Line and Fu Jie Line were successively built. From the Eighth Five-Year Plan to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, railway construction began to speed up, and the Hejiu Line, Fu Shang Double Line, Fuhuai Double Line, Fujiu Line and Luqing Line were built. Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, railways have entered the climax of large-scale construction, and Hexi Railway, Xuanhang Double Track, Tongjiu Railway and Hening High-speed Railway have been built one after another. The Hefei-Wuhan high-speed railway will also be completed by the end of 2008, which indicates that the "1234" travel pattern of Anhui railway, which people are striving for, will soon form the previous "123", namely Hefei-Nanjing 65438. The Anhui section of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway started construction, and the construction of modern railway network entered the stage of full implementation. The railway mileage of the whole province increased from 978 kilometers in 1978 to 2387 kilometers in 2007.
In terms of air transport construction, after the reform and opening up, the construction of civil airports has entered a stage of great development. After years of construction, there are existing civil airports in Hefei, Huangshan, Anqing and Fuyang, among which Hefei and Huangshan are open air ports. Air transport routes have been directly connected with many large and medium-sized cities in China. In 2007, the passenger throughput of the province's civil aviation airports reached 2.55 million passengers and the cargo throughput reached 33,000 tons. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, it will also invest 4 billion yuan to build a modern airport with an annual passenger throughput of 10 million passengers-Xinqiao International Airport, which will make a qualitative leap in foreign air links.
In terms of port construction, there are three major water systems: Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Xin 'anjiang River, and there is a golden waterway of "800 Li John Wan", which is rich in waterway resources. Since the reform and opening up, Anhui has started with solving the bottleneck of water transport infrastructure construction, port construction has been accelerated year by year, and the level of modernization and specialization of port facilities has been continuously improved, basically forming a port transportation system with reasonable layout, complete categories, high degree of modernization and relatively complete supporting facilities. 1978, the port cargo throughput was only100000 tons, reaching 250 million tons in 2007, ranking first among the six central provinces, and Wuhu port throughput reached 46.8 million tons, ranking among the top ten inland ports in China. In 2007, the navigation mileage of inland rivers in the province has reached 5596 kilometers, and the developed water transport has provided more powerful support for a strong industrial province.
(4) Posts and telecommunications have developed rapidly. Since the reform and opening up, the province's post and telecommunications industry has invested a total of 59.98 billion yuan. In accordance with the ideas and requirements of "overall planning, advanced development", "overall coordination and sustainable development", firmly grasp the market demand, rely on scientific and technological progress, adhere to the combination of introducing and digesting advanced technologies and enhancing the ability of independent innovation, and gradually build a modern communication network with world advanced level. 1984 Hefei toll hub project was completed and put into operation, and international, inter-provincial and intra-provincial toll communication services were carried out, which improved the communication level. 1986 Hefei imported 10000 program-controlled long-distance and local telephone exchange equipment, which was completed and put into production. 1992, the province achieved the goal of telephone program control in local cities and telephone automation in county towns, and formally completed the 900 MHz mobile communication centered on Hefei in the same year. From 65438 to 0995, the local telephone network of all cities in the province was completed, and the rapid transition from manual switching and analog technology to automatic switching and digital technology was basically completed. All towns and villages have opened telephones, and Fengtai County became the first county in the province to reach every village by telephone. In the new century, the provincial party committee and the provincial government made a major decision to build "Digital Anhui" in 2003, taking "Digital Anhui" as one of the six basic projects to build a new platform for social and economic development in our province and improve the development environment, and the post and telecommunications industry has made great progress. At present, the province has formed a modern main communication network combining program-controlled telephone network, long-distance transmission digital network and mobile communication network. The framework of "Digital Anhui" has been basically established, with optical fiber communication lines reaching all administrative villages and broadband data networks covering all towns and most administrative villages. In 2007, there were 0/49.43 million fixed-line telephone users and 0/4/0/00,000 mobile phone users, with 47.5 telephones (including mobile phones) per 100 people, and 0/5.59 million computer Internet broadband access users of basic telecom operators.
(5) Social undertakings have made considerable progress. Since the reform and opening up, investment in social undertakings has grown rapidly, with a cumulative investment of 78.88 billion yuan. Especially since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have continuously increased investment in science, culture, health, social security, basic education, ecological construction, environmental protection and other social undertakings, and completed construction projects such as Anhui Huangmei Opera Art Museum, Anhui Acrobatic Troupe Rehearsal Center, Hefei Library, Anhui Grand Theatre Reconstruction Project and anhui library Expansion Project, Maanshan Library Project, Huaibei Museum and so on. Medical and health facilities have been greatly improved, brilliant achievements have been made in education, and the conditions for people to go to school, seek medical treatment and enjoy cultural life have been significantly improved, further promoting the coordinated development of economy and society.
(6) Urban construction is changing with each passing day. Since the reform and opening up, governments at all levels have taken increasing urban construction and improving urban functions as important measures to accelerate the urbanization process. The province's urban and rural public facilities are improving day by day, and the infrastructure such as roads, water supply, drainage, gas supply, central heating, garbage disposal and underground pipe network transformation have been significantly improved, and the city's appearance is changing with each passing day. After years of construction, the extension of the city has expanded rapidly and the functions of the city have been greatly improved. 1978, the province's urban construction investment was only 0.3 billion yuan, reaching 29.2 billion yuan in 2007, and the urbanization rate rose from 1978 to 38.7% in 2007. By the end of 2007, per capita urban road area 13.6 square meters, water consumption was 94.4%, domestic garbage treatment rate was 910.4%, gas penetration rate was 83.2%, per capita urban park green area was 8.7 square meters, green coverage rate of built-up area was 36. 1%, and every 10,000 people had 8.67 standard buses.
(7) The living conditions of residents have improved significantly. Since the reform and opening up, the income level of urban residents has increased rapidly, the consumption structure has been continuously upgraded, and family life has achieved a historic leap. In recent years, buying new houses and further improving family living conditions have become the new focus of urban residents' investment and consumption. The housing market reform has accelerated the development of the real estate industry, and the scale of housing construction has been expanding. Especially since the implementation of "housing project" and "affordable housing construction", a large number of shanty towns have been transformed in a planned and step-by-step manner, focusing on the transformation of old cities and relying on the comprehensive development of real estate. The construction of large-scale ordinary houses and affordable housing has enabled the majority of low-and middle-income residents to realize their dreams of improving housing conditions. 1999-2007, the province's real estate development investment was 301400 million yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 35.5%, accounting for 16.4% of the total social investment. The investment in housing development increased rapidly. From 65,438+0,999 to 2007, the investment in housing in the whole province was 265,438+0,436,543.8 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 37.8%. Commercial housing1287,800 square meters, a large number of residential quarters with complete functions, complete facilities, convenient living and elegant environment have been built one after another. Real estate development has entered a new stage. The per capita housing area of cities and towns in the province has increased from 13. 1 square meter before the reform of housing distribution system to 2 1.6 square meter in 2007.
Over the past 30 years, the rapid growth of investment has enhanced the stamina of sound and rapid economic development in Anhui, and laid a solid material foundation for promoting scientific development, building a harmonious society and building a well-off society in an all-round way. Looking forward to the future, under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and government, the whole province has thoroughly implemented Scientific Outlook on Development, firmly established the concept that "today's investment structure is tomorrow's industrial structure", further strengthened the construction of major industries and infrastructure projects, persisted in project-driven, optimized the investment structure, made great efforts to plan and reserve a number of good and large projects with strong driving force, expanded the sources of industrial projects, especially advanced manufacturing projects, and enriched the province's "86 1.
