To better leverage the role of quality in promoting sustainable urban development and explore distinctive models and pathways for cultivating and constructing quality-strong counties (districts, towns), the State Administration for Market Regulation has launched a national pilot program for innovative cultivation and construction in this area. The initiative focuses on six major aspects: new quality governance mechanisms, modern quality policy systems, development models for different types of cities, regional quality development collaboration, application of quality tools and methods, and integrated innovation in quality infrastructure systems. It encompasses 17 specific pilot tasks, including modernizing quality governance, fostering multi-stakeholder quality co-governance, establishing quality public service systems, developing quality financial policies, and implementing quality talent systems. Pilot units have demonstrated pioneering spirit, strengthened resource support, and systematically advanced the implementation of these tasks, initially exploring and forming a set of replicable and scalable pilot outcomes.
