Each construction unit of the project should work with a schedule and formulate the completion time of each stage, so as to finish the construction as soon as possible and bring the benefits into full play on the premise of project safety and quality.
Provincial departments should optimize government services and create a good business environment by strengthening factors guarantee and supports for cities and prefectures; communication and cooperation between cities and prefectures should be strengthened to form an overall joint effort. We must also strengthen supervision and evaluation, implement the system of leading cadres in connection with key projects, increase unsolicited and unannounced visits to projects’ construction sites and regularly inform their progress.
