Three Points Chaohu Holds The "Big Hefei" &Nbsp; Anhui Makes The Wan Jiang Economy "Engine".

Chaohu's three points and Hefei's Anhui split up are final.

The Anhui provincial government announced on the 22 day that it was revoked by the State Council. Chaohu Lake In the city, the original district and county "one divided into three" was divided into the jurisdiction of the three cities of Hefei, Wuhu and Ma'anshan. After the adjustment of administrative divisions, Hefei has jurisdiction over 4 districts, 1 cities and 4 counties, becoming the biggest beneficiaries; Wuhu has 4 districts and 4 counties; Ma'anshan has 3 districts and 3 counties.

In the eyes of regional economists, this round of adjustment will lead to the emergence of another mega city circle, the Hefei economic circle, in the Middle East of China after the Nanjing metropolitan area, the Wuhan metropolitan area and the Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan metropolitan area. Hefei, as the capital city of Anhui Province, has also made a big step toward its goal of "developing into a super large city in the central region" in its "12th Five-Year plan".

It can be predicted that under the impetus of the "great Hefei", a new Anhui will come out.

The prefecture level city of Chaohu was established in 1999. It is located in the central part of Anhui province. It is on the Yangtze River. It is named after the fifth largest fresh water lake Chaohu. It has jurisdiction over Lujiang, Wuwei, Ho County, Hanshan four counties and Ju Chao district.

In August 22nd, the Anhui provincial government announced the cancellation of the prefecture level Chaohu city. Revoke the original site of Chaohu's nest area and set up a county-level Chaohu city. Take the administrative area of the original nest area as the administrative region of the newly established county-level city of Chaohu. The newly established county-level city of Chaohu is hosted by Anhui municipality directly under the central government and Hefei Municipality. Lujiang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Chaohu, is under the jurisdiction of Hefei Municipality. Wuwei County is under the jurisdiction of Wuhu municipality, and Shenxiang town of Ho county is under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang District, Wuhu. Hanshan county and He county (excluding Shenxiang town) are under the jurisdiction of Ma'anshan Municipality. After the adjustment of administrative divisions, Hefei has jurisdiction over 4 districts, 1 cities and 4 counties; Ma'anshan municipality has 3 districts and 3 counties; Wuhu has 4 districts and 4 counties.

So far, the cities in the Wanjiang City Belt undertaking industrial transfer demonstration area have been reduced from 9 to 8. Some people may ask, Chaohu and Hefei, Wuhu and Ma On Shan are all members of Wanjiang demonstration area, and they belong to prefecture level cities. Why do they have to withdraw three points?

Lv Liansheng, vice president of Anhui Development Strategy Research Institute and director of Anhui Institute of urban and rural economic development, answered the question to reporters. The main reason is that "Chaohu is sandwiched between the three places of Hefei Wuma, and its economic strength is the weakest."

From the perspective of regional area, the area of Hefei Wuma three cities is 7029.48 square kilometers, 3317 square kilometers and 1686 square kilometers respectively, while the area of Chaohu city is 9423 square kilometers.

As far as economic development is concerned, the total GDP in Chaohu in 2010 is only 61 billion 500 million yuan, which is obviously behind that of Hefei's 270 billion 250 million yuan and Wuhu's 110 billion 860 million yuan.

Split background

Development bottleneck is difficult to adjust, brewing for many years

In fact, the news about "splitting Chaohu" has a long history.

"As early as the early 90s of last century, when Chaohu was not a prefecture level city, I had been entrusted with some experts to conduct an investigation into the regionalization of Wanjiang district." Lv Liansheng brought the process to journalists.

The city of Chaohu is a unique location, and it is a "land of fish and rice" on the North Bank of the Yangtze River. But for a long time, the industrial economy in Chaohu has never been able to develop. The economic volume is increasing with the surrounding Hefei, Wuhu and Ma'anshan.

"At that time, Ma'anshan, the leading industrial leader in Anhui, had proposed the idea of crossing the river to the development of Chaohu County in the original Chaohu region because of its narrow geographical location. However, the development and zoning adjustment of Wanjiang River in fact is not qualified until the year 1998."

Lv Liansheng pointed out that a fundamental problem is flood.

Lv Liansheng, who served as Deputy Secretary of the Wuhu county Party Committee for two years, recalls, "at that time, the cadres along the Yangtze River had been on the river embankment for six months in a year to prevent flooding, and it was hard for them to grasp the industry. It was not until 1998 when the central government decided to thoroughly cure the WAN River's water that Ma'anshan and Wuhu took the fast track of economic development.

However, along with the rapid economic development, the coastline resources along the Yangtze River have been consumed in large quantities. Soon, the non steel industry in Ma'anshan developed symptoms of fatigue.

Subsequently, Wuhu, as the leader of the Wanjiang economy, proposed the successful experience of crossing the Yangtze River in Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing in the "95" and "fifteen" plans, and built the industrial park along the Yangtze River and the logistics transfer base on the North Bank of the Yangtze River. Although the plan has been approved by the provincial government, Wuwei County and He county are under the jurisdiction of Chaohu city on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, resulting in the implementation of the plan impossible.

"The city of Chaohu is vast in scope and rich in coastline resources. Some leaders and experts put forward the strategy of cross river development, and assigned the Hanshan and he counties under the jurisdiction of Chaohu to Ma'anshan, and placed Wuwei County and Shenxian Township in Wuhu. Lv Liansheng said.

Not only in Wuhu, but also in Hefei, a relatively backward city in the provincial capital, on the water in the hope of revitalizing Chaohu - "leap" into the Yangtze River economic belt. {page_break}

From January 2010 to January 2010, Wanjiang City belt industrial transfer demonstration area rose to a national demonstration zone. This is the first strategic plan to enter the national level in the history of the Yangtze River. The plan clearly defined the development of the regional structure of "one axis, two cores and two wings", of which the "two core" is the two most powerful growth potential of Hefei and Wuhu Anhui province at present and even in the coming period.

To build the two growth poles of Hefei and Wuhu, it is imperative to split the weakest city of Chaohu.

In May of this year, the Anhui provincial government formally submitted to the State Council the instructions to revoke the adjustment of Chaohu and related administrative divisions. In July 14th, the State Council formally approved the agreement.

Biggest bright spot

Hefei's expansion of nearly half large cities

" Anhui The existing administrative divisions are formed on the basis of historical evolution. Although many adjustments have been made, the scale of the central cities is relatively small, and the scale of the administrative areas is relatively large. The problems such as delimitation of the river and governance are more prominent. The drainage system especially makes the management system of Chaohu unsuitable, which has already restricted the development of the economic and social development at this stage.

As relevant people in Anhui province have said, this zoning adjustment is the inherent requirement of Anhui's economic and social development to a certain stage.

Before the zoning adjustment, Hefei has jurisdiction over four districts and three counties, covering an area of nearly 7000 square kilometers with a population of 4 million 450 thousand people.

Judging from the administrative divisions of the provincial capital cities of the country, four municipalities and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan special administrative regions were excluded. The remaining 27 provincial capital cities were 11 in average jurisdiction and county (city), with an average area of 13796 square kilometers and an average population of 5 million 330 thousand people. There are only 7 counties in Hefei, and 4 counties, districts and districts, with an area of nearly half and a population of 900 thousand.

A "small" word tightly restricts the development of Hefei.

After the zoning adjustment, Hefei will build a big city around Chaohu, and Chaohu will become the "Inner Lake" of Hefei. The new Hefei municipality has reached at least 10 counties; the area has expanded by 40%, from more than 6000 square kilometers to more than 10 thousand square kilometers, and the population will reach 7 million 457 thousand.

It is worth noting that in order to straighten out the management system in Chaohu, Anhui has also set up the Chaohu authority to manage Chaohu's planning, water conservancy, environmental protection and the main control facilities in Chaohu basin.

In Hefei's urban space, Economics On the basis of double expansion of body size, a "regional metropolis" is ready to come out.

Industrial stand

The 4 cities lead the construction of the park.

To expand Hefei is only the first step. In the next 5 years, 4 mega cities will lead the Wanjiang economic development.

According to the urban system planning (2010 to 2015) for the industrial transfer demonstration zone of Wanjiang City belt, 4 mega cities (Hefei, Wuhu, Ma'anshan, Anqing), 5 big cities, 12 medium-sized cities and 2 industrial new towns will be formed by 2015.

A few years to form 4 mega cities, there must be strong economic support. And Anhui's economic development is an important starting point for the park.

In the Wanjiang City Belt undertaking industrial transfer demonstration area to become a national strategy, Anhui has set up Jiangbei industrial concentration area and Jiangnan concentrated area as the core of the demonstration area. The starting area of Jiangbei industrial concentration area is located in He county, with a planned area of 220 square kilometers.

The establishment of Jiangbei industrial concentration zone is conducive to interaction with Wuhu and Ma'anshan and cross river development. Jiangbei industrial concentration area management committee director Bi Xiaobin said.

According to the "Anhui 12th Five-Year development plan outline (Draft)" released by the Wuhu Development Zone in August 12th, in the next 5 years, based on the development of 2 hundred billion yuan development zones in the Wuhu economic development zone and the Hefei Economic Development Zone, we strive to make the Anqing Economic Development Zone rank among the hundreds of millions of development zones.

At the same time, taking the development zone as a carrier, we encourage all localities to jointly build industrial clusters across regions and across the park, and strive to form the 10 hundred billion industrial clusters of the (Yu) Wu (Anshan) automobile and spare parts industry, the (Yu) Chu (Zhou) Wu (Hu) appliance industry, the Wuhu energy saving equipment industry, and the national (Hefei) state-level new flat panel display industry.

In the next 5 years, Anhui will speed up the integration, expansion and upgrading of the park, and strive to build the "three groups, two belts" spatial layout of Hefei Economic Circle Development Zone, North Anhui development group, Southern Anhui Development Zone, along the Yangtze River Development Zone, along the edge of the characteristics of the park zone, and strive to develop in 2015 the province's Development Zone (Sales) revenue of more than 30000 billion yuan, an average annual growth of 20%.

Despite the late start and facing the three pressures of Nanjing metropolitan area, Wuhan city circle and Changsha Zhuzhou Xiangtan economic circle, after merging Hefei with parts of Chaohu, the development of Linjiang will be realized from the leap of Binhu era.

In the eyes of regional economic experts, the Hefei economic circle has undoubtedly achieved a "three stage jump".
