Shanghai municipal government issued the Shanghai Rural Revitalization “15th
Five” Plan, targeting substantive progress by 2030: accelerate agricultural
modernization, upgrade rural living conditions and deepen urban–rural
integration. The plan prioritizes ensuring supply of key agricultural products,
ecological conservation, cultural inheritance and rural spatial capacity, and
calls for location-specific, classified policy measures. It proposes an
urban–rural integration belt around the metropolis and designates Chongming’s
three islands, the upper Huangpu River, the north shore of Hangzhou Bay and
northern Shanghai as key functional zones, linking these with the Five New
Cities and the Yangtze River Delta eco‑green integrated development
demonstration area to form a “one belt, four zones, multiple nodes” strategic
layout.
