Review and complete the content of orientation planning to ensure generality, do not define a list of specific projects; the content and level of detail of administrative management planning are clearly linked to specific management requirements, management according to objectives, norms, standards is the main thing and only with important content, necessary for State management, avoid regulating The content is too specific and detailed, lacking flexibility and not meeting the requirements of practical development; only require the creation of diagrams and drawings when really necessary, while at the same time, ensuring feasibility.
