The Eleventh Five-Year Program period, from 2006 to 2010, is a key period in which Beijing will seize the strategically important opportunity of development during the first two decades of the 21st century, and by doing so realize the concept of “New Beijing, Great Olympics.” This period is a juncture that inherits the past and ushers in the future in the municipality’s modernization process. The Beijing Outline of the Eleventh Five-Year Program for National Economy and Social Development is the first five-year program after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward the concept of scientific development and the major strategic theory of building a harmonious society. It is also the first five-year program worked out after the State Council replied to the Beijing Master Plan (2004-2020), an important plan for the capital to build a comprehensive affluent society. The Eleventh Five-Year Program brings forward the strategic targets, focus and policy orientation of the economic and social development of Beijing during the five-year period, reflecting the guidelines and decision intention of the Beijing municipal committee and government. The Program is an important basis for government departments at all levels to perform their duties, to draft annual implementation plans and to make various policies and measures in accordance with the law. Moreover, the Program serves as a call to action for all people of Beijing to work together for progress.
