News: Looking back on 2014, in the context of economic downshousing, south-north water transfer, high-speed railway and other representative of the national infrastructure construction, it can be said to hand over a report card can be circled. According to the statistical bulletin, the amount of fixed asset investment (excluding farmers) in 2014 was 50200.5 billion yuan, an increase of 15.7%. During the same period, infrastructure investment (excluding electricity) in the tertiary sector amounted to 866.69 billion yuan, an increase of 21.5%, which was not only much higher than the growth rate of manufacturing and real estate investment during the same period, but also higher than the overall growth rate of investment. In fact, infrastructure construction has become a strong support for the healthy and sustainable development of China's economy and society, continuously adding strong impetus to steady growth and people's livelihood.
2014, infrastructure construction and livelihood projects focusing on agriculture, water conservancy, transportation, energy, shantytown transformation, energy conservation and environmental protection, information, etc. will fully blossom. As a major policy focus of steady economic growth, the solid progress of infrastructure projects in these areas not only directly stimulates economic growth, creates jobs and injects strong momentum into economic development, but also enables the people to truly share in the rolling dividends of reform and development by improving people's livelihood.
water conservancy project, as a major national strategic water conservancy project, is an excellent example of the combination of expanding domestic demand and benefiting people's livelihood. During the year, the main line of the South-North Water Transfer Central Line, which officially opened to water, was 1432 kilometers long and had an average annual water transfer volume of 9.5 billion cubic meters, benefiting directly from 20 large and medium-sized cities and more than 100 counties (cities) along the route. In the meantime, huge amounts of capital, materials and labor input have undoubtedly played a powerful role in boosting domestic demand and increasing employment, significantly driving local economic growth along the route. Nanyang City, for example, according to relevant reports, the South-North Water Transfer Project in the city invested more than 30 billion yuan, in the construction period directly driven GDP growth of 0.8 percentage points per year.
Railway Project: China's railways, especially high-speed rail projects in 2014 a hot construction scene, but also in the field of infrastructure to write a rich and colorful. Data show that in 2014 the railway completed a total of 808.8 billion yuan in fixed asset investment, the scale of investment is second only to 2010, the second highest in history; Sixty-six new railway projects have been started, with a total of 8,427 kilometers of new railway operating mileage, a record high, and a total railway operating mileage of more than 112,000 kilometers. Among them, the new high-speed railway production mileage of 5491 kilometers, high-speed railway business mileage of more than 16,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world.
people's livelihood project, represented by the urban security housing project, was further promoted. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 5.11 million units of housing were basically built and 7.4 million new units were started in urban areas throughout the year, an increase over 2013.
While the infrastructure project is in full swing on the land of Shenzhou, the state has continuously adjusted its structure and filled the "short board" by increasing government investment in the central and western regions, rural areas and backward areas, and even the key areas related to transformation and upgrading, and has become more balanced in the construction of China's infrastructure sector, playing a key role in leading the economic transformation and upgrading.
of the Central and Western Regions, investment in the central and western regions continued to grow at a relatively high rate in 2014 under the policy effect of the development of the western region, according to the statistical bulletin of the Central and Western Regions. Among them, the central region invested 12411.2 billion yuan, an increase of 17.6% year-on-year; Investment in the western region reached 12917.1 billion yuan, an increase of 17.2%, both of which were higher than the growth rate of investment in the eastern and northeastern regions during the same period.
According to the relevant statistics of the National Development and Reform Commission, 33 key projects for the development of the western region were started in 2014, with a total investment of 835.3 billion yuan, and major infrastructure construction such as railways and large-scale water conservancy hubs, as well as ecological environmental protection and livelihood projects, are the key areas for investment. Among them, in china's railway set off this round of construction boom, the central and western railway construction occupies an important position. Data show that in 2014, the proportion of railway investment in the Midwest as high as 78%; In the new line, the Central and Western railway network reached 6,747 kilometers, accounting for up to 80%. With the opening and operation of Lanxin High-speed Railway, the first high-speed railway in western China, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and more and more western regions have entered the "high-speed rail era" that is coming to an end, and the great western part of China will surely usher in a new "spring" of economic development with this important highland economic artery.
recent years, rural areas and agricultural development, where infrastructure construction is relatively backward, have always been the focus areas of government investment. In 2014, agricultural infrastructure construction focusing on major water conservancy projects and road traffic was further strengthened, laying a solid foundation for the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. Taking the field of road traffic as an example, the Ministry of Transport data show that 230,000 kilometers of newly remodeled rural roads were remodeled in 2014, exceeding the construction tasks as mandated by the State Council. A rural highway that has connected fields and thousands of households in vast rural areas not only shortens the distance between urban and rural areas, but also expands the path of wealth for hundreds of millions of farmers.
addition, in terms of sub-industry, information, energy, energy conservation and environmental protection and other related areas in line with the economic transformation and upgrading has also become the focus of the current infrastructure construction. Taking the field of information as an example, the statistical bulletin shows that in 2014, the length of new fiber optic cable lines reached 3.01 million kilometers, and the total length of domestic fiber optic cable lines reached 20.46 million kilometers, up 17.2% YoY, although down 0.7 percentage points from the same period last year, but still maintained a relatively fast growth trend.
in the process of urbanization, the further solidification and perfection of urban infrastructure construction is particularly important. Unlike the once-geometric urban infrastructure field, which was widely used as a "heavy face" and "light-faced", the urban infrastructure construction in 2014 embodied the "face" and "in-the-wall" weight, to "face" and heavier "in-the-box".
as a shining business card of modern cities, the construction of urban rail transit in 2014 presents a hot situation for large and medium-sized cities to catch up with me. According to the China Urban Rail Transit Association statistics, in 2014, the country's urban rail transit operating cities, the new addition of Changsha, Ningbo, Wuxi three cities.
In the first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, which have already opened rail transit, the crisscrossing urban rail network is becoming more and more dense, and gradually radiation to the surrounding areas with the process of urbanization. Take Beijing as an example, at the end of 2014, a total of 6 line 2, line 7, line 14 east and line 15 of the first phase of the west section of 4 new rail transit lines opened trial operation. So far, the number of rail lines in Beijing has increased to 18, with a total mileage of 527 kilometers, an increase of 13.3% year-on-year. From a national perspective, according to relevant statistics, as of the end of 2014, a total of 22 cities in China have completed 101 rail lines, operating lines length of 3155 kilometers, the growth can be described as rapid.
"Underground Pipeline Construction" shows the urban style of the "face" project to promote at the same time, in 2014 was described as the city's "conscience" of the "inside" project - underground pipeline construction has also achieved a new breakthrough. In addition to the year in various places have started and implemented the urban underground pipe network inspection and transformation work, by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other five ministries jointly carried out a nationwide urban underground pipeline census work has been fully launched in late 2014. This will be the city-wide water supply, drainage, gas, heat, electricity, communications, radio and television and other underground pipelines closely related to the lives of urban residents to conduct a comprehensive basic information census and accident detection, is expected to crack the urban development of the "underground mystery" problem.
looking back on 2014, China's infrastructure sector has made great achievements. At the same time, it should also be noted that compared with developed countries, infrastructure construction in many areas there are gaps that can not be ignored. From another point of view, this also means that China's infrastructure construction has an incomparable broad development prospects and immeasurable development potential. At the APEC Summit in Beijing in 2014, "Strengthening All-round Infrastructure and Connectivity Construction" became one of the three key topics of the conference. There is no doubt that under the "new normal" of China's economy, infrastructure construction will play an increasingly important and important role in stable growth, benefiting people's livelihood and international cooperation.
