"In the long run, Guang 'an has accepted the radiation of Chongqing megacity as an economic center. The development of central cities in Guang 'an and Chongqing has innate conditions and development foundations. " Zhang Wei, member of the Standing Committee of Guang 'an Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and executive deputy mayor of Guang 'an Municipal People's Government, said.
From the perspective of spatial distance, Guang 'an is the closest prefecture-level city in Sichuan to the central city of Chongqing, which is closer to the "two rivers and four banks" than many districts and counties in northeast and southeast Chongqing, and the distance between Sichuan-Chongqing Gaozhu New District and the central city is closer than many main cities. In terms of commuting, it is only 1 hour drive between Chongqing and Guangzhou; After the completion of the high-speed railway in western Chongqing, it takes only 20 minutes for Guang 'an Station to reach the central city of Chongqing. In terms of economic integration, 50% of Guang 'an industries support Chongqing, 60% of tourists come from Chongqing, and more than 70% of agricultural and sideline products are sold to Chongqing. Every year, a large number of people buy houses, go to school and seek medical treatment in Chongqing.
Promote the balanced development of the region from point to area.
The Outline of the Construction Plan for the Twin Cities Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing Region proposes to form an urban pattern with complementary advantages, reasonable division of labor, benign interaction and coordinated development among large, medium and small cities and small towns.
Previously, the Eighth Plenary Session of the Fifth Session of Chongqing Municipal Committee made clear the spatial pattern of "one heart, one core, four cities, four fulcrums and four bridgeheads" in Chongqing metropolitan area.
"One Heart" is Changjiahui, the main center of Chongqing, with an area of 50 square kilometers.
"One core" is the central city, covering an area of 5,467 square kilometers.
Then subtract the central city from the peripheral main city metropolitan area, which is collectively called the main city new district. The new central city is divided into several levels, namely Bishan, Jiangjin, Changshou and Nanchuan, Fuling, Yongchuan, Hechuan and Qijiang-Wansheng, Rongchang, Dazu, Tongliang and Tongnan.
On this basis, in order to implement the Planning Outline for the Construction of Twin-city Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing Region and the requirements of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the Chongqing Metropolitan Area Development Plan brings Guang 'an into the planning scope and integrates with Chongqing Metropolitan Area, which will further improve the spatial pattern of central cities driving the common development of surrounding areas and cities, further improve the regional urban system, and jointly form a multi-center networked national spatial development pattern led by the twin cities with Chengdu Metropolitan Area.
Among them, the central city planning is positioned as the core engine of the high-quality development of the metropolitan area, further strengthening the role of radiation; Guang 'an planning is positioned as the northern sub-center of Chongqing metropolitan area, which will further accelerate the urbanization development with the central city of Chongqing.
The planning of the four leading areas of urbanization is positioned as the functional relief areas of central cities, and it is necessary to take the lead in realizing the development of urbanization with central cities.
