The blueprint for Shishigang Town, one of the 8 satellite towns of Ningbo, has been made. On March 11, Ningbo Planning Website released General Plan of Jishigang Town of Yinzhou District of Ningbo (2010-2030). This is the 2nd general plan of a satellite town Ningbo Municipal Government has approved (it approved the general plan of Cicheng Town in 2011). 
According to the General Plan, Jishigang Town should be a satellite town of the ‘western portal’ of Ningbo central area that integrates functions of living, regional public service, hi-tech industries and ecological recreation. 
With respect to the third industries, the satellite town should have functions of shopping, recreation, business and production in the core urban areas and living areas. The Siming Mountain Area and the plain area west of the Ring Expressway should have the function of recreation. 
With respect to the first industry, the plan specifies that the west of the Ring Expressway should be reserved for the first industry, especially high-performance ecological agricultural parks. With respect to the second industry, the plan specifies that the existing industrial parks should be kept and that the industrial upgrading of the airport-oriented industries should be accelerated.
