It included planning to address wind energy and solar energy feed-in to the grid and prioritizing dispatch policies for renewable energy. Continuing themes from the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan also sought to boost the services sector, increase
urbanization, and expand the social safety net to reduce precautionary savings. Regarding urbanization, the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan highlighted nineteen
city clusters to be developed and strengthened pursuant to a geographic layout referred to as two horizontals and three verticals (
liang heng san zong). The highlighted clusters included the
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the
Yangtze River delta region, and the
Greater Bay area.
