Shanghai municipal government office issued the city’s Service Industry Development "15th Five-Year Plan." Over the plan period Shanghai will pursue layered, categorized service development—simultaneously expanding capacity and improving quality while coordinating development and supervision. Policy will focus on boosting core urban service functions through the construction of the "five centers," prioritizing producer services to drive industrial upgrading and life (consumer) services to stimulate domestic demand, and advance early deployment of emerging service subsectors to expand future growth space and build a higher-quality, more efficient modern service industry system.
