Chengdu North Reform: Urban Proposition Behind 118 Wholesale Markets

< p > for Wang Fang, a self-employed person in Mianyang, Sichuan, wholesale clothing is no longer necessary to travel from Mianyang to Mianyang wholesale market in Chengdu at midnight.

In the international trade town of Xindu District in the outskirts of Chengdu, she can pick up goods at any time to the Fujian boss.

< /p >

< p > Lotus Pond, which is located in the northern train station near the first ring road in Chengdu, has a wholesale market in the whole country and even Southeast Asia. In fact, it has been closed in February 2013. More than 6000 businesses have moved to the international trade city.

< /p >

< p > "this is one of the 23 traditional wholesale markets we closed last year, and also a part of the whole Lotus Pond market."

Li Guang, director of the planning and Construction Department of Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said that according to the "North reform" plan of Chengdu, there are 118 specialized wholesale markets involved.

< /p >

< p > > "North reform" - this large project involving 211 square kilometers in northern Chengdu, involving 1 million 500 thousand of the population, has been launched since early 2012 and has just been two years old.

According to the plan, the whole "North reform" will invest 330 billion yuan, and will be built in five years to modernize the industry, form internationalization, ecological environment, and highlight the distinctive Chengdu cultural characteristics of the new North City.

< /p >

< p > "from the strategic intention of" north change ", the internationalization strategy that Chengdu is trying to achieve is no longer confined to a region's patent. Chengdu seeks to realize the internationalization of the whole city.

The key effect of the "North reform" is that it will improve the pportation chain, industrial chain, supporting chain and life chain of the whole city's growth lifeline.

Tao Tao, vice chairman of the academic committee of residential planning of the China Association of urban planning, said: "this will directly strengthen the a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "competitiveness in the north of the city, and further affect the overall competitiveness of Chengdu as a whole.

< /p >

< p > < strong > folk pushing hands < /strong > < /p >.

< p > for a long time, Chengdu Railway Station, Lotus Pond wholesale market and many professional wholesale markets such as tea, household appliances, Chinese herbal medicines and other specialized wholesale markets constitute the northern city of Chengdu. Chengdu people are regarded as more chaotic areas in pportation, public order, environment and so on.

< /p >

< p > early November 2011, a netizen named "Jiang Tianyi" sent a post on the Chengdu municipal government website "citizen topic" column to improve the status quo of Chengdu North traffic.

The netizens analyzed the reasons for the slow development of traffic in the north of the city, and put forward some suggestions on how to solve the backward traffic situation in the north of the city and eliminate the traffic short boards in the north of the city.

The online proposal was rapidly spread over the Internet, triggering hot discussions and discussions among many netizens, and even an adaptation of the song of "north change".

< /p >

< p > the Internet heated debate was quickly organized by relevant government departments and sent to the Chengdu municipal Party committee and municipal government, and it aroused the concern of the new Chengdu municipal Party committee secretary Huang Xinchu.

"So the idea of" North reform "comes from the private sector.

The relevant person in charge of the North Reform Office of Chengdu said that Chengdu proposed to build a modern and international metropolis, but Chengbei has become a "black spot" of the city. It has become the biggest problem of urban development, and it has created the two yuan structure in the urban area.

< /p >

< p > "road network construction lag behind, traffic congestion is serious, living environment is too bad."

The person in charge said that, in particular, the wholesale market of 118 specialties accounted for 80% of the wholesale market in the city. Its "cash, spot, spot" low-end trading mode, complex market property rights pattern, and the management situation of each region's own affairs all posed a severe challenge to the "North reform".

< /p >

In the middle of December 2011, the eleven plenary session of the nine plenary session of the Chengdu Municipal Committee made a decision on "North reform". < p >

At this meeting, Chengdu put forward the implementation of the "five great strategies" and "North reform" as an important project for the strategy of "building an excellent city in the city", as well as an important carrier for the construction of an open regional center and an international city.

< /p >

< p > according to the plan, the "North reform" was coordinated by Chengdu City, involving three districts, Taurus, Xindu and Chenghua, and was officially launched in February 2012.

As a result, a "proposal" by the folk pushing hands through the Internet has finally risen to a city's development strategy.

< /p >

< p > < strong > industry promotion < /strong > < /p >

< p > in fact, as early as Jinniu District closed its regional market to Lotus Pond, as the only commercial circulation item in the 50 major construction projects designated by Sichuan Province, Chengdu international trade city has completed the market of Chinese herbal medicine and small commodities, and these two markets are also inherited from the professional market near the North train station.

< /p >

< p > "our current business has 26 thousand households, involving clothing wholesale, daily necessities, sewing equipment, Chinese herbal medicine, bags and hardware five markets, most of them are to undertake the Lotus Pond and its surrounding professional market traders."

The director of the Trade City, General Yang, said that the total investment of 14 billion 500 million yuan project, with a total construction area of 5 million square meters, of which the market group has 3 million 600 thousand square meters, which can accommodate 60 thousand shops.

< /p >

As the industrial undertaking area, Xindu District has not only undertaken the Lotus Pond market, but also built many projects including the Straits tea city, the Haining Leather City, the Western electronic trading center, the western logistics port and so on, totaling 23.

< /p >

< p > according to the "North reform" industrial layout plan promulgated by the Chengdu municipal government in 2013 and the "North reform" industrial development plan, clearly put forward the "three principles" of the spatial layout of the "northern pformation" industry: that is, "no new wholesale market will be built within the high speed around the city"; the wholesale market, logistics operation area and manufacturing industry will no longer be retained within the ring expressway; the relocation will be carried out step by step; the leading industries should be given priority in the overall planning clear industrial function zones, focusing on the construction of the service industry gathering area and the construction of the northern city of industry.

< /p >

< p >, Chengdu has confirmed 5 industrial undertaking zones, including: North New Town modern commercial and trade comprehensive functional area, Qingbaijiang commodity market centralized development zone, Shuangliu commodity market centralized development zone, Longquan commodity market development zone, Pengzhou Mongolia commodity market reserve development zone.

Not only that, Deyang and Ziyang around Chengdu have also extended their olive branches to Chengdu's professional market, trying to get a piece of cake.

< /p >

< p > "but in practice, we found that due to the complexity of property rights and the initiative of the market and other factors, we originally planned to make some adjustments to the plan for the relocation of the 140 wholesale markets in the Beltway."

Director Li Guang, for example, has completed the pformation and development of spot wholesale markets to exhibitions and trade malls, such as Jinfu lamp city, Hong Zheng Commercial Plaza, and others directly upgraded to e-commerce mode.

In this regard, Chengdu eventually adjusted all the relocation of the 140 markets to "closing a batch, upgrading and upgrading a batch, and pforming a batch".

< /p >

< p > for this reason, Yi Peng, a member of Pangu think tank and chief research fellow of urbanization, believes that the market stays in cities because of more developed logistics or local consumers.

The government is doing more good management and guidance.

From this point of view, it is worth affirming that "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > Chengdu < /a > respecting the market and respecting the development of the industry.

Yi Peng said.

< /p >

< p > < strong > city future < /strong > /p >

< p > in fact, for some districts and counties that need less than a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > demolition market < /a >, some market demolition has to reluctantly give up.

Because the annual consumption of the Lotus Pond business area accounts for more than 20% of the total in Chengdu, it is the cradle of the millionaire.

< /p >

< p > this is like the wholesale market of Beijing zoo. On the one hand, it shows the commercial vitality of the city, but on the other hand, it has caused heavy pressure on the development of the city in the aspects of logistics and environment.

As a result, the wholesale market of Beijing zoo has to choose to move out.

< /p >

< p > "for example, the fruit wholesale market of Si Ma Qiao is what we must shut down, because there is no way to achieve pformation or upgrading at this point, dirty and messy, seriously affecting the lives of residents and the image of the city."

An official in Chenghua District, Chengdu, said that 8 professional markets were moved out of the area last year in the area of Sima bridge, and 833 acres of land will be vacated. "We are speeding up urban design and investment promotion, and some of the plots have been listed, and we have to accelerate the development of the" Sima bridge "leisure business pole, which integrates modern commerce, modern services and emerging real estate.

< /p >

< p > in this respect, Jinniu District has already tasted the sweetness.

After the relocation of the professional market, we realized the "cage for birds", and introduced large-scale commercial complexes such as Wanda Plaza, Kade square, far east department store and so on.

< /p >

< p > reporter noted that "North reform" has long been the focus of attention of developers.

Now, North China has already set up real estate projects such as China railway construction, poly, Wanda, Vanke, investment real estate and other domestic first tier Housing enterprises. Other developers are continuing to swarm into the north of the city.

< /p >

< p > "now many large cities are moving to the traditional wholesale market, but relocation must take two factors into consideration. First, whether the market operation of relocation is sustainable or not. Second, the land after relocation should be well planned and the market should play a leading role."

Yi Peng analysis said that relying solely on real estate mode to revitalize the relocation of land is not enough to support the sustainable development of the region, but also need to introduce new industries to ensure the vitality of the original regional economy.

< /p >

< p > in this regard, after closing some markets in Jinniu District, Sichuan successively introduced the geo science and Technology Industrial Park, the world's first rail pit Industrial Park, and biological medicine base.

According to the statistics of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, at present, the capital investment contract of the "North reform" project is 98 billion yuan, and the actual location of the project is 25 billion yuan, so as to comprehensively promote the pformation and upgrading of the northern region's urban space, industry, ecology, management, and urban and rural pformation.

< /p >

< p > Wang Xiaoqi, Secretary General of the Sichuan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences's Sustainable Development Research Center, said that "North reform" and "Tianfu New District" form a North South echo and cooperate with each other. Through investment and accumulation, Chengdu has become a new strategic starting point for enhancing the engine of Chengdu Chongqing Economic Zone.

"As one of the leading projects to implement the dual core and common prosperity of Chengdu and Chongqing," North reform "is a major layout for Chengdu to strengthen regional development and comprehensive competitive advantage of the city. It will add a powerful weight to Chengdu's" city of fortune, the capital of success ".
