　　"Five lists" to grasp investment. Following the working approach of "planning early, working hard, and advancing quickly," the "five lists" of investment projects for the following year (lists of key investment projects, major construction projects, major preliminary projects, "2+4" modern industrial cluster projects, and investment promotion projects) are issued before the end of December each year. In 2024, 291 key investment projects will be implemented, with a total investment of 141.8 billion yuan and an annual planned investment of 36.8 billion yuan, an increase of 30%; 63 major construction projects will be implemented, with a total investment of 79.39 billion yuan and an annual planned investment of 20.1 billion yuan, an increase of 27.4%; 148 major preliminary projects will be planned, with a total investment of 40.73 billion yuan; 235 "2+4" modern industrial cluster projects will be implemented, with a total investment of 158 billion yuan and an annual planned investment of 27.6 billion yuan, an increase of 48.9%; and 162 investment promotion projects will be planned, with a total investment of 109.64 billion yuan.

　　"Three actions" to grasp advancement. Implement the spring concentrated breakthrough action for major projects,project constructionaccelerated action, and project planning capacity improvement action. Formulate preliminary work plans, issue preliminary funds for major projects in advance, conduct joint review and joint approval and consultation and joint review, and make every effort to grasp preliminary work and promote project commencement. Implement a checklist-based investment task system, specify commencement and resumption dates down to the day and completed investment amounts down to the month, rely on the project investment management platform for refined online scheduling, and conduct special offline scheduling for projects that fall short of expectations. It is estimated that in the first quarter, all 116 continuing projects in the city can resume construction, and 99 of the 175 planned new projects will start, with a commencement and resumption rate of 74%. Draw the "2+4" modern industrial cluster map and precisely attract projects for building, extending, supplementing, and strengthening chains; plan projects around shoring up weaknesses in infrastructure and promoting improvement, invite experts to interpret policies, conduct research and analysis, and optimize projects, and plan and reserve 728 major construction projects for the last two years of the "14th Five-Year Plan," with a total investment of 361.8 billion yuan.

　　"One mechanism" to grasp services. Strictly implement the four-level linkage promotion mechanism of municipal-level leadership responsibility for major construction projects, specialist services by industry departments, responsibility and promotion by territorial departments, and rigorous implementation by project units, with follow-up at all stages, guarantee of all factors, and services throughout the whole process, so as to accelerate the advancement of construction projects on the premise of ensuring safety, environmental protection, and quality. Solidly carry out the "three highlights" activity (highlighting goals at the beginning of the year, progress in the middle of the year, and results at the end of the year), and hold major project observation activities quarterly. Implement process optimization and reengineering, draw a "one map" for enterprise affairs handling, and promote the comprehensive reform model of "credit commitment system + standard land + assistance and agency services + credit-based easy loans" for enterprise investment projects, greatly shortening project approval time. Project workload, physical volume, and investment volume have all risen, safeguarding project construction with the best services, the best environment, and the most practical measures.

　　This concentrated commencement involves 33 major industrial projects of over 100 million yuan, with a total investment of 24.4 billion yuan and an annual planned investment of 8.5 billion yuan.
