At present, the proportion of railroad and waterway cargo transportation in China’s cargo transportation system is growing year by year, and Rail-water intermodal transportation is highly efficient and less polluting, which is very suitable for the current economic development, and its development has inestimable potential. Facing the growing demand for transportation, it is of special significance to improve the transportation capacity and management level of Rail-water transportation in China. This paper first analyzes the development foundation and environment of Nanjing port, then takes Longtan port as an example and proposes the main measures such as improving Nanjing’s Rail-water transportation infrastructure construction, integrating railroad resources, reforming operation and management, and formulating port cluster development planning.

The Social

Deveiopment planning in India, as in other developing countries, has generally been aimed at fostering an industrially-oriented policy as the engine of economic growth. This one-sided economic development, which results in capital formation, creation of urban elites, and underprivileged social classes of a modern society, has led to distortions in the social structure as a whole. On the contrary, as a result of this uneven economic development, which is narrowly measured in terms of economic growth and capital formation, the fruits of development have gone to the people according to their economic power and position in the social structure: those occupying higher positions benefiting much more than those occupying the lower ones. Thus, development planning has tended to increase inequalities and has sharpened divisive tendencies. Victor S. D'Souza, an eminent Indian sociologist, utilizing the Indian census data of 1961, 1971, and 1981, examines the problem of structural inequality with particular reference to the Indian Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes - the two most underprivileged sections of the present Indian society which, according to the census of 1981, comprised 15.75 percent and 7.76 percent of India's population respectively. Theoretically, he takes the concept of development in a broad sense as related to the self-fulfIlment of the individual. The transformation of the unjust social structure, the levelling down of glaring economic and social inequalities, and the concern for the development of the underprivileged are for the author the basic elements of a planned development. This is the theoretical perspective of the first chapter, "Development Planning and Social Transformation".

Socio Economic Development

The main task that determines the effective functioning of the country is the formation of a strategy for its socio-economic development based on a long-term innovation strategy. An innovative development strategy of the country is defined as a fundamental, basic element of the overall strategy of socio-economic development. The purpose of the article is to develop the conceptual foundations for shaping the country's socio-economic development strategy in modern conditions, adjusting the priority directions of the strategy and the peculiarities in using the means of achieving the goals, taking into account European experience. The article examines the European practice of developing and implementing the strategy of socio-economic development of the country as the most important instrument of the state's influence on social and economic development. Recommendations on the use of advanced strategic planning tools are developed. It is proved that without the scientific and methodological support of the plan of socio-economic development of the country it is impossible to count on the successful solution of important tasks and the democratization of public relations. The concept of strategy formation is designed to take into account the interests of economic entities and territory and to cover not only the traditionally used sectoral aspect of development, but also the territorial, which includes the creation and development of clusters and special economic zones. European experience shows that transition of a country to an innovative socially oriented type of development requires an increase in the efficiency of the state strategic planning process, the achievement of which is possible only with the co-ordinated activity of state authorities, business structures, science and society. It should be emphasized that in the prevailing conditions there is a need to form a single integrated system of social and economic development planning that optimally combines both the use of strategic planning and the program-target method for solving urgent problems.

Rapid Industrialization

As the colonization approach, metropolitan power tried to legitimize their rule by claiming that they aim at economic development. Arthur Lewis criticized the British colonial development plan for lacking comprehensiveness and, in the 1940s, laid out his own manifesto for rapid industrialization. Later, in Manchester University, he wrote the significant 1951 UN report on development and his famous article on development by intersector labour transfer. His controversy with Herbert Frankel did not satisfy the critiques, but became the bible for those who identify development with industrialization. Lewis’s time as a policy advisor to Ghana Kwame Nkrumah left him doubtful about the possibility of successful development planning and he effectively withdrew from the development scene, despite retaining Enlightenment values.

Development Practice

In recent times, the term ‘local economic development’ has been conceptualised and introduced as a bottom-up participatory development strategy in Ghana. It is intended to be implemented at the district level to facilitate the revitalisation of the local economy and create jobs for local residents. Using in-depth interviews and the analysis of relevant policy documents, this paper evaluates efforts aimed at institutionalising the practice in local institutional frameworks and development planning practice in the country. The paper found out that processes aimed at institutionalising contemporary local economic development practice in Ghana are not making any meaningful impact. Institutional frameworks such as the structuring of development policymaking and planning in the country are still rigid and promote bureaucratic top-down development decision-making processes. Similarly, the promotion of a meaningful bottom-up decentralised planning system is only a well-packaged talk by policymakers in the country. Evidence shows that there is a clear lack of political will to implement reforms, particularly the new decentralisation policy that seeks to make District Assemblies in Ghana responsive to local economic development promotion. There is the need for a conscious effort towards making local economic development practice matter in national and local development endeavour in Ghana.

Strategic Goal

In the context of the deployment of transient processes and the exacerbation of crisis phenomena in socio-economic systems of various types, the importance of a reasonable setting and correction of development goals increases. For the current situation in the Russian Federation, when the implemented program of constitutional amendments creates the preconditions for the subsequent reform of public authorities and the mechanism of multi-level strategic planning, it is especially important to conduct research in the field of substantiating scientific approaches to the development of mathematical methods for solving the problem of strategic goal-setting. One of the key points in the modernization of the methodological support of strategic planning in the context of the constitutional transformation of the system of public authorities is consideration of the value foundations of activities in the systems of distributed management of socio-economic development, analysis of the problems of formalizing the setting of goals by the participants in the multi-level strategic planning process and substantiation of the structure of the theoretical model of goal-setting. The article considers the general characteristics of the functioning of the system of state strategic planning in the Russian Federation from the point of view of goal achievement. The institutional and conceptual foundations of goal setting are presented. The relationship between the concepts of “goal”, “target indicator” and “target function” are shown. The interrelation of the tasks of goal-setting and programming of the activity of an economic agent is characterized. An approach to formalizing goal-setting based on a theoretical scheme of mutual development planning tasks is proposed. The general structure of the strategic goal-setting model in the organizational mechanism of multi-level long-term planning determined. A possible approach to the algorithmization of the solution of the linear formulation of the goal-setting problem in the multisubject development control space based on the methods of target programming and multicriteria optimization was proposed. The formation of an operator of iterative management of the potentials and development priorities of interacting economic and social agents on the horizon of strategizing substantiated. To introduce a theoretical model of goal-setting into the practice of strategizing in the context of the formation of a digital platform of public administration, it is necessary to develop appropriate algorithmic support, as well as the formation of a regulatory and information base and the definition of an organizational and technological basis. Further improvement of the analytical and methodological tools for supporting the activities of strategic planning participants at the goal-setting stage is associated with the description and analysis of the corresponding applied tasks of goal setting at various levels and areas of socio-economic development planning.
