On July 9, Ningbo held a conference on accelerating urban-rural integration. Information comes that by the end of November, 2014, village distribution adjustment program and pioneer towns’ mergence arrangement should be settled; by the end of the year 2014, 60% of reserved villages’ construction plan and adjustment should be finished; by the end of 2016, all villages should be covered in construction program.
Currently, there are problems in the villages’ construction program calling for great attention.

In the next step, the government will take an all-round consideration and accelerate the planning of village redistribution. Details include to make the “1+3+X” layout system clear, which contains one line of quality villages, three types villages, peasant clustered area, central village and characteristic village, and several reserved villages; to merge a series of villages in cities, in parks and in suburbs; to gather some decentralized unincorporated and deserted villages; to protect the ancient villages with distinctive rural cultures and good eco-environment; to rectify and improve some central villages and reserved villages; to relocate and demolish some inhospitable villages of remoteness, poverty and geologic hazard; to coordinate traffic and sanitary utilities as well as educational and medical infrastructures so as to improve rural living condition.
Wang Renzhou, vice mayor of Ningbo, attended the conference and made a speech.
