Eastward expansion of Chengdu and westward expansion of Chongqing

Original title: Eastward Chengdu advance, Westward expansion of Chongqing, the strong start of the Shuangcheng economic circle to break the “central collapse”

The epidemic situation of the new coronary pneumonia has not slowed the progress of the construction of the economic circle of twin cities in the Chengdu-Chongqing area.strategyThe deployment opened the curtain on building the economic circle of two cities.

On May 9, Chongqing occupied the main metropolitan area of ​​the city.jobsThe symposium expanded 12 districts in the western part of the main city to the new main city district based on the 9 districts of the original main city, and increased the scope of the main city urban area to 21 districts; On May 6, the new eastern district of Chengdu was established with a planned area of ​​729 square meters. Kilometers, it will build a “future city”.

“Chengdu Eastward” and “Chongqing Westward Expansion” not only strengthened the polar nuclear role of the central city, but also promoted Chengdu and Chongqing to move in opposite directions. It can be said that it is an important deployment that has a profound impact on the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Shuangcheng Economic Circle. Significant.

Strengthen the polar nucleus.

The original main domain of Chongqing city was Yuzhong, Dadukou, Jiangbei, Shapingba, Jiulongpo, Nan’an, Beibei, Yubei, Banan. This time, Fuling, Changshou, Jiangjin, Hechuan, Yongchuan, Nanchuan, Qijiang, Dazu, Bishan, Tongliang, Tongnan, and Rongchang have 12 districts.

Yi Xiaoguang, president of the Chongqing Comprehensive Economic Research Institute, told the First Financial Reporter that there are two main antecedents to the expansion of the main urban area of ​​Chongqing. As the main driving force behind urbanization, the construction of metropolitan areas has emerged.

Finance and central economy held on January 3Committeethe sixth timemeetingIt aims to promote the construction of the economic circle of twin cities in the Chengdu-Chongqing area and to form an important part of high-quality development in the west.Growth pole. Promote the general development of the Chengdu-Chongqing area and promoteindustry, Reasonable flow and efficient aggregation of the population and various factors of production, and strengthen the leadership role of the central cities of Chongqing and Chengdu.

In 2018, the central government issued the “On establishing a more effective regional coordinated development of new mechanismsOpinion“, Proposal to establish a central city to lead the development of the urban agglomerationRegional developmentNew model. In February 2019, the National Commission for Development and Reform issued the “Guiding Opinions on the cultivation and development of a modern metropolitan circle”, proposing to foster the development of a group of modern metropolitan areas and form a new regional competitive advantage in the direction to promote the urbanization of surrounding central cities and towns (villages).

With the support of the above policies, Yi Xiaoguang said that the construction of metropolitan areas will surely be on the agenda. To build an operator to support the economic circle of the twin cities, highlight ChongqingNational city centerThe main role of radiation, making it necessary to promote the industrial system by expanding the size of large cities, enriching and improving urban functions.rationalization3. Progress is further improved, and the capacity for technological innovation is further improved.

At the third meeting of the Fifth Chongqing People’s Congress, which opened on January 11, the Chongqing Municipal Government workedreportIt aims to promote the coordinated development of “one district and two groups.” The first district is the main metropolitan area of ​​the city. It is necessary to improve the comprehensive carrying capacity of the central city, improve the professional service function of major node cities, and build an international community.InfluenceAnd competitive modern metropolitan area.

For Sichuan and Chengdu, the construction of the new district in eastern Chengdu has the same development goals. The “General Plan for the New Eastern District of Chengdu” (hereinafter, the “Plan”) clearly states that the planning and construction of the new district in the eastern part of Chengdu will strengthen Chengdu’s nuclear polar position and the function of the city. National headquarters in the economic circle of two cities of Chengdu and Chongqing, creating new high-quality development in SichuanPower supplyAnd development of high energy level of new platforms.

Affected by the geographic environment, Chengdu’s main development position has been concentrated on the west side of Longquan Mountain, resulting in the intensity of land development in the region and insufficient carrying capacity of environmental resources.Urban constructionAnd a series of management and management problems, so urban development urgently needs to expand new spaces.

Since 2017, ChengduborrowHistoric opportunity for construction of Tianfu International Airport and custody of Jianyang, comprehensive launch of “eastward” strategy, optimization of urban spatial design and redevelopmentIndustrial economyGeography, advancedmanufacturingThe center of gravity of the productive services industry shifted eastward, opening the “second major battlefield” of economic and social development.

It is marked by the Eastern New District list. After three years of planning, Chengdu’s “eastward” strategy entered a stage of comprehensive construction. The “Plan” uses 5 years as a cycle to determine development ideas for the next 15 years. By 2035, the permanent population will reach 1.6 million and the regional GDP will reach 320 billion yuan.

Push towards each other

The area of ​​the last Chongqing metropolitan area, the permanent population and the total economic volume reached 28,700 square kilometers, 20.27 million and 1.8 trillion yuan, respectively. Chengdu’s permanent population and total economy are 16.581 billion and 1.7 trillion yuan, respectively. The two cities have a population of over 36 million, equivalent to the population of Shaanxi province. From the perspective of regional GDP, the two citiesGDPThe sum also exceeded 3 trillion yuan.

However, since the Sichuan-Chongqing divide, the development of the middle zone of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration has been relatively delayed, and scholars have called this phenomenon “central collapse”. The Chengdu-Chongqing Urban Agglomeration Development Plan lists many important practical challenges and contradictions facing the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, which mainly includes backward development of the central city, insufficient development of secondary cities, the low degree of infrastructure interconnection, The coordinated development mechanism is not perfect.

Therefore, the meaning of “Expansion East of Chengdu” and “Expansion West of Chongqing” is not only in expanding the city and strengthening the central city, but also in promoting mutual development between Chengdu and Chongqing and Sichuan and Chongqing, and resolve the “central collapse”.

Yi Xiaoguang said that the construction of the economic circle of twin cities in the Chengdu-Chongqing area is not only the two cities in Chengdu-Chongqing, but also includes the large, medium and small cities and the urban network system in between from Sichuan and Chongqing. It turns out that the center is broken. To promote the rapid increase of urban agglomeration in the central part of Chengdu and Chongqing, it is necessary to build the corresponding bridges and platforms to buildPower supply.

Among the 12 new districts in Chongqing, Changshou, Jiangjin, Bishan and Nanchuan are the main areas for urbanization development. Fuling, Hechuan, Yongchuan, and Qijiang-Wansheng are four major strategic cities. The four bridgehead cities of Tongliang, Tongnan and Rongchang are the gateway to the Chengdu-Chongqing development hub, and the closest union of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Four of the new districts in eastern ChengduPositioningThis includes Chengde Meimei’s new support for urbanization. The “Proposal” proposes to build an important platform for the development of Chengdu’s Deyang, Meishan and Ziyang, and to carry out the realization of Sichuan provinceRegional development strategyOrganic integration with the main national strategies, building a world oriented to the future,International competitivenessAnd the Chengdu metropolitan area, driven by the district.

“Through the creation of these platforms, the two metropolitan areas of Chengdu and Chongqing gradually overlapped and eventually evolved into a continuous urban belt, thereby promoting the integrated development of the urban agglomeration,” said Yi Xiaoguang.

Yi Xiaoguang said that the eastward advance of Chengdu and the westward expansion of Chongqing, such as development platforms and carriers, can bring this space resource element together through infrastructure construction, rational design orientation industrial, integrated policies and the flow of elements between Globally influentialIndustrial clustersAnd the source of innovation.
