Zeshi Think Tank experts were invited to Lijiang City to deliver training on the comprehensive land remediation policy for the entire region.

As a World Cultural Heritage site and a key national ecological functional zone, Lijiang City in Yunnan Province shoulders the dual responsibility of ecological conservation and economic development. In recent years, with the vigorous growth of tourism and the acceleration of urbanization, issues such as fragmentation of land resources, increasing pressure on farmland protection, and imbalances in spatial planning between urban and rural areas have gradually become more prominent. Against this backdrop, comprehensive land consolidation across the entire region has emerged as a crucial approach for optimizing land-use patterns, promoting rural development, and supporting the all-round revitalization of rural areas. By integrating production, living, and ecological spaces, this initiative will help Lijiang City to establish... A new pattern of sustainable development characterized by contiguous high-quality farmland, concentrated villages, industrial clusters, and a beautiful ecological environment.

To thoroughly implement the state’s strategic plan for comprehensive land remediation across the entire territory, deepen the cooperation mechanism among government, banks, and enterprises, accelerate project construction, and support the high-quality development of Lijiang City’s local economy, On March 4, the Lijiang Municipal Government of Yunnan Province held a training session on the comprehensive land remediation policy for the entire region. The aim was to further deepen ideological understanding, broaden perspectives, and enhance policy competence, so as to promote the comprehensive land remediation across Lijiang City with greater intensity and more practical measures, strengthen the capacity to ensure land resources, and better advance the "Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand Project" in a substantive and effective manner.

Vice Mayor Zhou emphasized that deeply advancing comprehensive land consolidation across the entire region is a crucial approach for optimizing the spatial layout of productive forces and effectively activating and making the most of land resources. It serves as a powerful engine for promoting Lijiang’s high-quality development. All cadres must deeply recognize the important role of comprehensive land consolidation across the entire region in optimizing spatial planning, overcoming difficulties in land resource utilization, fostering integrated urban-rural development, improving living environments, deepening institutional reforms, and ensuring equitable sharing of land benefits. All departments should strengthen their awareness and understanding, fully leverage policy and financial support, enhance their capacity for project planning, and accelerate the implementation of comprehensive land consolidation efforts throughout Lijiang City.

Drawing on the experience of the “Ten Million Projects” initiative and other latest policies, this document systematically organizes approaches and methodologies for project planning and securing funding.
