Shanghai Jinshan District Government announces that during their ''11th Five-year Planning" period the district hopes to realize key goals, and ultimately, double their income every three years.

Jinshan has made solid progress over recent years, as it becomes more readily recognized for its advantages, namely its ocation, culture, land, waterways, and its progress in the chemical industry. With each of these five advantages comes an even bigger goal that Jinshan is trying to address. Li Yuyi, secretary of the Jinshan District Committee, described these as five dreams. These dreams are built around the desire to turn Jinshan into an internationally recognised part of the world, by using the experiences of cities that have already achieved such a status; Houston, Texas, is well-known for its chemical industry, while also been commended for their environmental protection programs; Miami, Florida, is known for its beautiful man-made beaches; and New Jersey for its shopping and residential projects. By taking the experiences of such cities, along with others like San Francisco, Jinshan hopes that it will be known for its beaches, shopping, residential complexes and its chemical achievements all at the same time. Then by integrating these North American features with the thousand-year history and ancient beauty of towns like Fenjing (one of the nine towns in Jinshan district), the district hopes to achieve its dreams.

In 2006, construction of the International Chemical City will begin. Hao Tiechuan, Chief Executive of the Jinshan District Government, stated that Jinshan would also begin to fulfil three major goals simultaneously. First, the district plans on becoming an advanced manufacturing and modern services center, which is led by the petrochemical and extended industries, as well as, integrated machinery and equipment, e-information and new light textiles. Second, is to turn Jinshan into an eco-friendly and efficient modern agricultural base that will be geared to both the economy and entertainment. Finally, plans are to make Jinshan a modern seaside city, incorporating the unique culture of Jinshan with the protection of the eco-environment, showcasing a beautiful residential environment capable of providing high-grade recreation and entertainment.
