The Thirteenth Five-Year Plan is a decisive stage in finishing building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and a critical period in preliminarily building an international metropolis with historical and cultural characteristics for Xi'an city. According to relevant national and provincial "13th Five-Year Plan" requirements on the overall arrangement and development of Xi' an, and the draft of the 13th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of Xi'an by the municipal government, we proposed the guiding ideology, objectives, major tasks and measures for development over the next five years and submitted to the session for review and approval, then we will earnestly implement these plans.
