Mr. Weier Song, director of the Future Community Research Center of Zhejiang Development and Planning Institute, made the keynote speech titled "The Blueprint for the Future Community ", elaborating the concept and framework of the future community and the practices in Zhejiang Province. He pointed out that the construction of future community should pay great attention to three kinds of values, named humanism, ecology and digitization, and nine scenes for residents. Based on the integration of investment and construction, the framework of "three values and nine scenes" holds promise for building a demonstration benchmark of a future beautiful community.
