Beijing Tianjin Hebei Metropolitan Area Planning Will Be &Nbsp; "Third Pole".

In May 19th, officials from the regional economic division of the national development and Reform Commission disclosed to our reporter that the current "Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area planning" has been reported to the State Council and is expected to be introduced this year.

The regional planning of Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area is an important regional plan in the national "11th Five-Year plan". The regional development plan is formulated according to the "8+2" mode: including two municipalities in Beijing and Tianjin, and 8 cities in Shijiazhuang, Qinhuangdao, Tangshan, Langfang, Baoding, Cangzhou, Zhangjiakou and Zhangjiakou in Hebei province.

The national development and Reform Commission formally launched the regional planning of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area in November 2004. After 7 years, the national development and Reform Commission has been delayed.

The officials of the regional economic division of the national development and Reform Commission believe that after five years of research and compilation, the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area has already formed a relatively complete blueprint for regional economic planning, and is expected to become the "third pole" of China's economy.

New plan to clarify the positioning of Beijing Tianjin Hebei industry

Whether from the industrial sector or the location of the industrial sector, the coverage of the sectors and industries in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area is very comprehensive.

The integrity of its system is incomparable to that of other regions.

At the same time, along with the spatial migration of coastal areas and the emergence of the new economic (310358) growth pole, the spatial structure of Beijing Tianjin Hebei regional development has also been improved.

First, the coastal areas have intensified their development efforts and gradually become the increasingly prominent areas of economic development in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area. Secondly, the economic development of the 3 cities in Tangshan, Shijiazhuang and Langfang has been outstanding, and the economic strength of the central cities such as Zhangjiakou, Qinhuangdao and Baoding has also been significantly enhanced. These economic centers have played a certain role in the relative balanced development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area.

"Hebei's regional economic worries have also eased."

The officials said.

Nevertheless, the overall industry in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, especially the weak industrial competitiveness, is gradually exposed.

The official pointed out: first, the overall level of economic development in Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area is lagging behind. There is a big gap between the per capita GDP long triangle and the Pearl River Delta. Two, in the industrialization led development stage, the proportion of the second industries in the national economy of Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area is far behind the other two delta metropolitan areas.

In addition, due to the lack of a stable interest coordination mechanism, the "isomorphism" competition in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei economic circle has never stopped.

Such as the Beijing Tianjin Hebei economic circle, Beijing's automobile industry has already had similar competition with Tianjin automobile industry.

It is revealed that in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area planning, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei each has three distinct industrial development orientation.

Beijing mainly develops the third industry in pportation, post and telecommunications, financial and insurance, real estate, wholesale, retail and catering industries.

Meanwhile, Beijing has made full use of the advantages of universities, scientific research institutions and talent intensive, combined with hi-tech industrial parks and large enterprises, and actively developed high-tech industries to develop high-end service industries and gradually pfer low-end manufacturing industries.

On the basis of existing manufacturing and industrial advantages and port advantages, Tianjin has positioned itself to develop advanced manufacturing industries such as electronic information, automobiles, biotechnology and modern medicine, equipment manufacturing, new energy and environmental protection equipment, and develop modern service industries such as modern logistics, modern business, financial insurance, intermediary services, and so on.

The 8 cities in Hebei are located in the raw material heavy chemical industry base, the modern agricultural base and the important tourism leisure resort area, and also the Beijing Tianjin high tech industry and advanced manufacturing industry R & D and pformation supporting base.

In the first industry, we should focus on the development of agriculture and animal husbandry as the "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" for Beijing and Tianjin.

Difficulties in regional integration

The integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is far from easy.

The experts who participated in the planning, the development strategy of the State Council Development Research Center and the regional economic research department, Gao Ming, told reporters: "there are many problems in the economic, industrial policies and development plans between the three cities of Beijing."

Taking Beijing and Tianjin as an example, Beijing and Tianjin two cities are located in an economic zone, but their administrative status and economic strength are similar. They lack the common interests of the Pearl River Delta regional administrative system and belong to a province. They also lack the internal cohesion of the Yangtze River Delta regional system, which takes Shanghai as the absolute center to control the whole region.

On the other hand, Beijing and Tianjin have made great demands on the past industrial policies, emphasizing that "one can not be less", which leads to the structural and self closing of the industrial structure, making the industrial structure more intensive, competing for resources, competing for projects, competing for investment, excessive competition and close competition, and many repeated investments and duplication of construction not only cause unnecessary losses, but also cause waste of resources in the whole region, and the level of economic development is lagging behind.

At the same time, lagging behind the development of regional infrastructure has emerged.

A Regional Research Report on Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area planning by the Joint Commission of Beijing Tianjin Hebei Development and Reform Commission pointed out that if the analysis of regional development integration demands in Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area, the regional infrastructure network has not yet formed, and there is still a big gap between the regional integration goals and requirements.

The report says that the role of regional infrastructure network in the process of regional economic integration is obvious, especially in the construction of some regional ports, airports, p regional highways and inter city express passages.

In addition, due to the slow integration process in the region, the role of the market mechanism is not enough to play a fundamental role in the restructuring of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area. Therefore, the process of economic integration in the region should start with the integration of infrastructure construction.

Taking port construction as an example, the outstanding problems at present are: the construction of ports in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is increasing, and new ports are emerging.

The development prospects of each port plan usually develop towards a comprehensive port with high efficiency, and the port function in the future will be duplicated.

This will undoubtedly be a huge waste for the development of the port system of Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area with limited share of hinterland.

The report points out that in the port construction of the region, the port system with Tianjin as the hub port and other ports should be unified through the unified planning and rational layout, and the main port and the Bohai area with Beijing and Tianjin as the core hinterland and Liaodong and Shandong Peninsula as an important support should be linked together through railways and highways, so as to change the port's duplicated construction, low level competition, weak links with the hinterland, and the situation that the rear collection system can not be reasonably matched.

In addition, the advantages of technological innovation are limited in the industrialization and regional economic development of the metropolitan area.

The cooperation between Beijing and Tianjin and Hebei accounts for only a small proportion. About 55% of its technical contracts are geared to the whole country. The development level of the pportation network is among the highest in the country. However, the accessibility between the inner cities of Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area is not ideal.
