The core connotation of Pudong's development and opening up is to emancipate the mind and liberate the productive forces. Emancipating the mind and liberating the productive forces are the ideological essence of China's development path, and also the mystery of China's rapid development and strong development momentum for more than 30 years. Emancipating the mind, first of all, is to broaden our horizons and grasp the development trend of the world and the opportunities of the times. The success of Pudong has grasped the last tail of the 20th century and the strategic opportunities brought by economic globalization, informationization and new scientific and technological revolution. Reform and innovation are the most distinctive features of our times and the yardstick that determines the fate of China. Pudong held high the banner of reform and innovation, took the lead in fully implementing the paid transfer of land use rights and the market-oriented allocation of production factors such as capital, land, labor and technology, and explored and established a relatively complete factor market system. Taking the transformation of economic development mode as the main line, we will take the lead in adjusting the industrial structure and accelerate the formation of a new industrial structure system. Under the guidance of the concept of "small government, big society", promoting the transformation of government functions and the innovation of urban management system has become a powerful internal driving force for development.
Therefore, it is the universal significance of Pudong's experience to emancipate the mind, reform and innovate, constantly break through the ideological concepts and institutional mechanisms that hinder development, and constantly liberate productive forces to promote sustained and rapid economic and social development.
