Full mobilization to build civilized city

The CPC Yiwu Municipal Committee and Municipal Government attached great importance to civilization building by holding a rally for re-evaluation in the lead up to inspection recently to improve the weakness of the city and mobilize full and concerted efforts to build a civilized commercial city and a humanistic Yiwu.
??Yiwu is a capital of commerce, but never slacked off in civilization building. Since being listed among the first provincial model civilized city in 2006, it has been successively honored as the National Garden City, National Environmental Model City, Chinese Excellent Tourist City, National Sanitary City, etc. This year, it launched the building of a healthy city. These honors are attributable to heavy government input, which brought about significant changes in urban and rural ecological environments and enhanced citizen satisfaction substantially.
??"Brand building is never a purpose or formalism, but aimed at improving the livelihood and life quality of the people ultimately." He Meihua, deputy mayor of Jinhua and mayor of Yiwu, first justified the re-evaluation for inspection at the rally. "Conducting re-evaluation of a provincial model civilized city is absolutely not intended for maintaining a brand, but improving the livelihood and life quality of the people."
??Environment can nurture people and civilization can flourish a city. He said as an international trade city, Yiwu is yet to be improved whether in hardware or citizen quality. According to the re-evaluation standards, Yiwu is still weak in many respects, and must make constant improvements with the building campaign as the carrier to make it a real paradise for enterprising and living. At the next stage, Yiwu will challenge for the title of national civilized city, which is the most authoritative, comprehensive and influential urban brand, as well as the highest evaluation of the level of all-around economic and social development of a city. "The brand symbolizes the various civilized forms of a city, and can attract more people for investment." However, striving to be a national civilized city is preconditioned by being perfectly qualified through re-evaluation.
??Besides hardware, "civilization" values human quality, striving to be a civilized city calls for the "upgrading" of the building campaign. He required that a shift be made from priority for hardware input to greater emphasis on software construction, especially on human quality, from stressing urban construction to intensifying urban management, optimizing urban functions and improving urban image in a bid to constantly improve the long-acting management mechanism.
??For this reason, Yiwu introduced "eight actions", with a focus on improving government efficiency, building a peaceful Yiwu, deepening integrity, fostering civilized quality, optimizing civilized services, beautifying urban and rural environments, sharing quality life and popularizing civilization building.
??He noted that civilization building is dependent on the grass-roots mass in the final analysis, including the "new Yiwu people", mobilizing every household and citizen start from them and from scratch to develop a new trend advocating civilization and pursuing health.
??He called on the whole city to act and make concerted efforts for the success of the re-evaluation of the provincial model civilized city and give persistent boost to the building of a famous modern international trade city with stronger competitiveness, wider reputation, higher civilization and better living environment.
