We will support economic transformation in resource-depleted areas. We will move faster to strengthen development in old revolutionary base areas, areas with large ethnic minority populations, border areas, and poor areas to help them catch up. We will develop the blue economy, protect the marine environment, and strengthen China's maritime development.

深入推进新型城镇化。坚持以中心城市引领城市群发展。抓好农业转移人口落户，推动城镇基本公共服务覆盖常住人口。更好解决群众住房问题，落实城市主体责任，改革完善住房市场体系和保障体系，促进房地产市场平稳健康发展。继续推进保障性住房建设和城镇棚户区改造，保障困难群体基本居住需求。继续推进地下综合管廊建设。城镇老旧小区量大面广，要大力进行改造提升，更新水电路气等配套设施，支持加装电梯和无障碍环境建设，健全便民市场、便利店、步行街、停车场等生活服务设施。新型城镇化要处处体现以人为核心，提高柔性化治理、精细化服务水平，让城市更加宜居，更具包容和人文关怀。

We will advance new urbanization.

We will continue to stimulate the development of city clusters through the development of leading cities. We will make more progress in granting permanent urban residency to people who have moved to cities from the countryside and work toward making basic urban public services cover all permanent urban residents.

We will better address people's housing needs, require local governments to shoulder primary responsibility, reform and improve housing market and support systems, and sustain the steady and healthy development of real estate markets. We will continue to build government subsidized housing and rebuild rundown urban areas to meet the basic housing needs of disadvantaged groups.

We will continue to improve underground utility tunnels. Old residential areas in cities are large in both number and area. We will make a big push toward their regeneration, update their roads, water, power, and gas supplies and other supporting infrastructure; support the installation of elevators and the development of barrier-free environments; and improve amenities like markets, convenience stores, pedestrian streets, and parking lots.

New urbanization should be people-centered in every respect: we need to be better at conducting flexible governance and providing thoughtfully-designed services to make our cities more livable and give them a more inclusive and welcoming feel.

(七)加强污染防治和生态建设，大力推动绿色发展。绿色发展是构建现代化经济体系的必然要求，是解决污染问题的根本之策。要改革完善相关制度，协同推动高质量发展与生态环境保护。

7. We will strengthen pollution prevention and control, enhance ecological improvement, and make big advances in green development.

Green development is a critical element of modernizing an economy; it is also a fundamental solution to pollution. We will reform and refine relevant systems, and pursue both high-quality development and environmental protection.

持续推进污染防治。巩固扩大蓝天保卫战成果，今年二氧化硫、氮氧化物排放量要下降3%，重点地区细颗粒物(PM2.5)浓度继续下降。持续开展京津冀及周边、长三角、汾渭平原大气污染治理攻坚，加强工业、燃煤、机动车三大污染源治理。做好北方地区清洁取暖工作，确保群众温暖过冬。强化水、土壤污染防治，今年化学需氧量、氨氮排放量要下降2%。加快治理黑臭水体，防治农业面源污染，推进重点流域和近岸海域综合整治。加强固体废弃物和城市垃圾分类处置，促进减量化、资源化、无害化。加强污染防治重大科技攻关。企业作为污染防治主体，必须依法履行环保责任。改革创新环境治理方式，对企业既依法依规监管，又重视合理诉求、加强帮扶指导，对需要达标整改的给予合理过渡期，避免处置措施简单粗暴、一关了之。企业有内在动力和外部压力，污染防治一定能取得更大成效。

We will keep intensifying efforts to prevent and control pollution.

Gains made in the fight to keep our skies blue will be consolidated and expanded. This year, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions will be cut by 3 percent, and there will be a continuous decline in PM2.5 concentrations in key areas. We will continue to curb air pollution in and around the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, in the Yangtze River Delta, and in the Fenhe-Weihe River Plain area. We will make stronger moves to tackle three major sources of pollution: industrial production, coal used as fuel, and motor vehicles. We will make a good job of promoting clean heating in northern China and ensure people's homes are warm for the winter.

Water and soil pollution prevention and control will be strengthened, and this year we will achieve a 2-percent drop in both chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen emissions. Efforts to clean up black, malodorous water bodies will be accelerated; work will take place to prevent and control agricultural pollution from non-point sources; and comprehensive measures will be taken to improve the environment in key river basins and offshore areas. We will step up sorting in solid waste and urban garbage disposal, and work toward the reduction, recycling, and safe disposal of such waste. We will intensify efforts to achieve major scientific and technological breakthroughs in pollution prevention and control.
