农村基建"施工图" (nóngcūn jījiàn shīgōngtú): Blueprint for the construction of rural infrastructure

Several departments including the Ministry of Transport, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and National Energy Administration are drawing up a blueprint for the construction of rural infrastructure.

The construction of rural infrastructure is a key measure to expand effective investment, and the National Strategic Plan for Rural Revitalization (2018-22) focuses on continuously increasing investment in rural infrastructure. Local governments are to increase their investment to promote key infrastructure projects in transportation, hydraulic engineering, energy and information. It is estimated that the scale of rural infrastructure construction will reach 4.52 trillion yuan ($652.33 billion).

Promoting the upgrading of rural infrastructure construction is a key part of the rural rejuvenation strategy, and the main projects will focus on transportation, rural hydraulic engineering, energy supply and informatization.

The core requirement of rural revitalization is to realize the integration of urban and rural development, let all kinds of production factors flow smoothly between urban and rural areas, and effectively combine with rural land, ecology, landscape, culture and other resources to form an industry, which needs to complement rural infrastructure.

According to the National Strategic Plan for Rural Revitalization, government capital and social capital will jointly support the construction of rural infrastructure.
