He also called for the enhancement of innovation in social governance to address major public concerns that involve the immediate interests of the people. They should have a stronger sense of fulfillment, happiness and security, he said.


Party-building was also highlighted, as Xi called for prioritizing political performance and strengthening primary-level Party organizations.


During his inspection tour in one of the nation's major economic hubs, Xi visited Yangshupu Waterworks in the Yangpu Binjiang public space and a community center in Changning district to learn about the planning and construction of urban public spaces, as well as community governance and services.


When he arrived at the community center on Saturday afternoon, residents there were discussing a draft bill. 


Learning of the discussion, Xi told the residents that China pursues a socialist path of political development with Chinese characteristics, and that all major legislative decisions in the country are based on legal procedures, democratic discussions and scientific and democratic decision-making.


He expressed hope that they would continue to make contributions.


During his visit to the Yangshupu water plant, Xi heard about the planning and construction of urban public spaces. He said a people's city is built by the people and for the people, so a people-centered development philosophy must be upheld in urban construction.


He called for expansion and improvement of the city's public spaces to include reasonable arrangements for production, living and ecological purposes so that people can have space for leisure, fitness and entertainment, thereby fostering a stronger sense of gain and happiness that makes the city a happy paradise.


The tour came in the wake of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, which outlined decisions on major issues involving how to uphold and improve the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
