Hu Jintao advocates an orderly urbanisation

Chinese President lays stress on land conservation and social harmony

BEIJING: Chinese President Hu Jintao has urged to continue the urbanisation process with Chinese characteristics in a healthy and orderly way.

Mr. Hu, also General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), made the remarks presiding over the 25th group study of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.

Mr. Hu called for the adherence to the principles of gradualism, land conservation, intensive development and rational project distribution so as to form the new structure of urban development on the basis of energy saving, environmentalism, economic efficiency and social harmony.

Urbanisation is the ultimate trend for economic and social development and an important symbol for industrialisation and modernisation, he said.

China is at the crucial stage of the urbanisation process, so it's of great importance to continue the coordinated development of large and medium-sized cities and small cities and gradually lift the level, he said. — Xinhua
