Zhang Jun/Shanghai Daily news

More than 800 members of the Shanghai People's Congress adopted the city's 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010) and other key government documents at the conclusion of their weeklong annual session yesterday.
The plan calls for the city to lift its international competitiveness and to speed up infrastructure development over the next five years, including the construction of a subway network covering 400 kilometers.
SPC members submitted 58 bills and hundreds of proposals to the government and lawmaking authorities during the session.
Most of them are related to the city's public health service, inflated drug prices, housing subsidy policies, and education system.
The Standing Committee of the SPC will examine the feasibility of the proposals and then pass them to different government or law-making departments for implementation if warranted.
