Scientific Concept of Development

科学发展观

The Scientific Concept of Development means putting people first and aiming at comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development.

        科学发展观是坚持以人为本，全面、协调、可持续的发展观。

To put people first, we should take people's interests as the starting point and foothold of all of our works, make continuous efforts to meet various needs of the people and promote an overall development of the people. To enact comprehensive development, we should quicken the pace of building socialist political and spiritual civilizations while we constantly improve the socialist market economy and maintain coordinated, healthy economic development, thus constructing a structure that features mutual improvement and common development of material, political and spiritual civilizations. To enact coordinated development, we should promote a balanced growth between urban and rural areas, different regions, economic and social undertakings, man and nature as well as domestic progress and opening-up to the world. To conduct sustainable development, we should foster a harmony between man and nature, tackle problems inherent in economic construction, population growth, resource utilization and environmental protection, and push society onto a path toward civilized development featuring growing production, an affluent lifestyle and a sound ecosystem.

       以人为本，就是要把人民的利益作为一切工作的出发点和落脚点，不断满足人们的多方面需求和促进人的全面发展；全面，就是要在不断完善社会主义市场经济体制，保持经济持续快速协调健康发展的同时，加快政治文明、精神文明的建设，形成物质文明、政治文明、精神文明相互促进、共同发展的格局；协调，就是要统筹城乡协调发展、区域协调发展、经济社会协调发展、国内发展和对外开放；可持续，就是要统筹人与自然和谐发展，处理好经济建设、人口增长与资源利用、生态环境保护的关系，推动整个社会走上生产发展、生活富裕、生态良好的文明发展道路。
