It is learned on January 4 from Ningbo Major Projects Office that in 2011 the investment in major projects reached 81 billion yuan, and that in major battle-tackling projects reached 55 billion yuan, both over-fulfilling the annual plan. The construction of the four main fields including major infrastructure projects, major urban functional areas, major industrial projects and major livelihood projects advances comprehensively in Ningbo. The construction of 83 projects such as the Ningbo base of China South Locomotive brought about an investment of 28 billion yuan.
The modernized traffic system is increasingly becoming perfect. After years' construction, a batch of major infrastructure projects have been completed and put into operation. The east ring expressway opened to traffic at the end of last year. It not only completed the real "circle" of the whole ring expressway, but also formed an expressway network with multi-spots into and from Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, the connecting road of Hangzhou Bay Bridge and the connecting road of Zhoushan Bridge. The completion and operation of the "five roads and four bridges" and the majority of connecting ring roads form a seamless interface between expressways and urban roads. The completion of the Hangzhou-Ningbo passenger railway will further reduce the temporal and spatial distance between Ningbo and other major cities in the Yangtze River Delta area. The opening of the airport road expressway brings Ningbo into the "three-dimensional traffic era."
The urban function is further promoted. The accumulated investment in the eastern new town added up to 50 billion yuan. 24 major projects including the north sector of Ningbo International Financial Service Center and Ningbo Human Resources Development Service Center have been put into operation. It is estimated that the space frame of the downtown area will be enlarged with the speeding-up of another 35 projects. The construction of the satellite town has been accelerated. So have been the constructions of the Outlet Shopping Mall, the infrastructure project of the "four horizontal and four vertical" backbone road network in Guanhaiwei, the major project of Ningbo Samsung High-tech Industrial Park, and the livelihood project of the north area of Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital.
The upgrading of some major industries is accelerated. The construction of such projects as the Ningbo Base of China South Locomotive enabled the equipment manufacturing industry to make significant progress. It is estimated that the Hangzhou Bay New Town will complete a total investment of 10 billion yuan by its gathering effect after the operation of the first phase of the Geely Automobile project. 61 well-known designing enterprises home and abroad have settled down in the Hefeng Creativity Square, which will become the new booster for the transformation and upgrading of Ningbo's industry. The trial opening of Ningbo Bulk Commodity Exchange symbolizes a solid step forward in terms of the port and shipping logistics service system.
People's livelihood continues to improve. The Jingjia Village resettlement housing is put into use, the construction of the public rental housing in Hongtang Town of Jiangbei District is completed, and the construction of the affordable housing in Chenpodu Village and economic housing in Pujia Village is accelerated. The problem of "medical treatment difficulty" will be greatly eased with the operation of the newly-rebuilt Ningbo No.1 Hospital and the acceleration of the construction of the east area of the Lihuili Hospital and the north area of Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital. The sewage treatment system will also be improved with the operation of the 2nd phase of the south area sewage treatment system and the accelerated construction of the 3rd phase of Yandong Sewage Treatment Plant and the sewage treatment plant with a daily industrial wastewater treatment capacity of 30,000 tons in the north area
