Every commentator Yang Qifei
Today, Chengdu held two large-scale international conferences at the same time.
On hard power, “2020 Chengdu Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fair-The First International Blockchain Industry Expo” (hereinafter referred to as CIIF 2020) focuses on the emerging “hard core technology” of blockchain, and is a design for development urban in multiple opportunities. The future of the industry: speaking of soft power, the “3rd World Forum of Cultural Cities · Tianfu Forum” once again explores urban culture and explores the relationship between cultural space and urban identity from an international perspective.
Half innovation, half culture, just rebuild Chengdu’s unique urban temperament.

In the first three quarters of 2020, Chengdu gave a dazzling response: As the national economy warmed, Chengdu achieved a regional GDP of 1,287,650 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.6%. Among them, from January to August, the operating income of the technology services industry and the high-tech services industry increased 10.9% and 9.8% respectively, playing an important role in the economic development leadership .
According to He Baohong, director of the Institute for Cloud Computing and Big Data at the China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, Chengdu has entered a period of rapid technological development in recent years. As a major frontier technology , blockchain has also shown a trend to catch up in Chengdu. By unlocking Chengdu’s advantages in the development of the blockchain industry in terms of policies, talents and the environment, the ecology of the blockchain industry will be formed on a larger scale, further promoting the development of the local blockchain industry in Chengdu.
The data further supports this development trend: at the end of 2019, there were 266 blockchain R&D and application companies in Chengdu, and by October this year, the number of companies had soared to 549, doubling by less than one year. In the comprehensive ranking of the China Blockchain City Innovation Development Index 2020, Chengdu ranks sixth in the country and first in the central and western regions.
Culture reveals the core of Chengdu’s economic growth from another angle. Tan Ping, Dean of the Chengdu Tianfu Cultural Research Institute and Director of the Urban Culture Research and Communication Center, noted that Tianfu culture is an important carrier for Chengdu to rush into world civilization. It covers traditional elements and focuses on the existence of modern cities. It has brought deep development to Chengdu. Foundation and continuous motivation.
In 2019, the added value of Chengdu’s cultural and creative industry reached 145.98 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.5%, accounting for 8.6% of GDP. According to previous plans, by 2020, the proportion is expected to reach around 10%.
Under the dual configuration of innovation and culture, Chengdu will also explore its unique advantages in the new wave of competition.
Looking back in history, since the reform and opening, each cycle of urban development has benefited from the optimization and evolution of the population structure, the industrial structure, the urban-rural structure and the institutional structure. It contains low barriers to entry, low-cost competition, and demographic dividends. These comparative advantages are the logic that drives the conversion of advanced elements, talent dividends and innovation drive into competitive advantages.
Looking at the current situation, China’s urbanization rate has exceeded 60% and has passed the stage of high-speed urbanization. The logic of winning by “speed” has begun to change and several new contradictions have gradually emerged.
Regarding the escalating driving force of this round of urban development, in an interview with “Daily Economic News” reporter Liu Shouying, party secretary and dean of the Faculty of Economics of Renmin University of China, explained vividly than from the original “pavement” development model, The content transformation process and urban connotation.
In his opinion, today’s Chinese cities may no longer need such a large structure, but the content and quality of the city should be improved. Improving quality will help Chinese cities to return more and more to the essence of cities. The essence of the city lies in the collection of innovations and the exchange of ideas, and diverse cultures are presented, that is, innovation and culture will play an increasingly important role.
This is not only Chengdu’s advantage, but also the floor and ceiling that will determine the future development of Chengdu: open innovation is the most important variable for Chengdu’s future development, and Tianfu culture is the unique business card of Chengdu in the world. Summing this up, Chengdu proposes to form a park city development push that is coordinated with an “open and innovative culture”, which is exactly one response to the new round of urban development ideas.
Currently, Chengdu faces a golden opportunity. The “dual cycle” strategy will further attract inland cities such as Chengdu to the domestic and international cycle system, and the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing two-city economic circle will allow Chengdu to bring more resources to its disposal; The exploration of “a park city with a concept” also means that Chengdu, as a representative of the development of emerging cities, will seek new models of urban development that will affect the future.
The coordinated concept of “open innovation culture” will point the way for its exploration. Among them, “openness” places Chengdu at the key node of the great national cycle and the strategic link between the national and international double cycles. The “innovation” helps Chengdu make the pattern change from passive following to active leadership. The global diffusion of urban concepts and temperaments makes it condense a profound force to globalize.
Chinese cities are in an era of marked differentiation. Only those cities that have the capacity to innovate and research, and have achieved industrial improvement and strong industrial improvement capacity, will likely win the competition, while those that only focus on material forms and only have large roads and large squares. they may find bottlenecks in development. In this regard, the attention and emphasis on innovation and culture are opening the “double wings” for the development of Chengdu in a new round of competition.
