As long as Sichuan is mentioned, the topic of Chengdu must be the top ranking
and the balanced development of some cities.
Chengdu can be said to be the "outstanding", relying on the "blood" of the province to support itself, etc. Related words
Is this really the case?
First of all, let’s get to know how prosperous
01 and economic level
Chengdu is. In 2021, Chengdu is far ahead, reaching 1,991.698 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.6%; followed by Mianyang with a GDP of 335.029 billion yuan. The province ranks second; Yibin 314.808 billion GDP ranks third in the province, and Chengdu’s GDP is 5.94 times that of Mianyang.
In 2021, per capita GDP Chengdu has also led the province
02 and higher education
with 95,100 yuan. Sichuan has a total of 18 prefecture-level cities and 3 autonomous prefectures. The province has relatively rich sources of higher education, but the distribution of resources is extremely uneven. As of 2021 In August, there were a total of 53 undergraduate colleges and universities in Sichuan, of which Chengdu accounted for 30, and there were 5 famous schools in 985 and 211, namely Sichuan University , University of Electronic Science and Technology of China , Southwestern University of Finance and Economics , Southwest Communications University , Sichuan Agricultural University.
03, medical resources
In September 2021, Bangu Medical conducted statistics and market analysis on 21 cities and states 2097 (valid statistical data, not all statistics) hospitals in Sichuan Province in September 2021.
2097 hospitals in Chengdu number of hospitals 415 , accounting for 20%
So why is Chengdu so developed?
1. Geographic conditions determine the development of Chengdu Plain
Since ancient times, we have described Chengdu as the "Land of Abundance".
You can imagine that Chengdu's geographical location and climate conditions must be unique.
This is indeed the correct answer.
Zoom out to view In the entire Sichuan map section
you will find that the only place really suitable for planting is the Chengdu Plain
To the north of the Chengdu Plain is the Qinling Mountains
To the west is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
To the south is the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
Such a huge geographical environment difference
is doomed to development. Balanced
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads
Convenience of transportation is one of the important factors that drive the local economy
Looking at Sichuan
Among the five most difficult roads to build in the country, Sichuan has two
Like Li Bai's poem "The road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to reach the blue sky."
Because it is close to the western Sichuan region, this generation is especially obvious on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
In contrast, flat land is obviously more suitable for building roads, railways and other infrastructure
The cost is lower compared to mountainous and other forms.
2. Strategic significance at the national level. At the national level, Chengdu is one of the nine national central cities. The national central city has the strongest comprehensive strength in the country and has the ability to radiate and lead the surrounding areas. Regarding the role of the region, for the country, it is necessary to establish a western economic center, a western science and technology center, a western cultural and creative center, a western foreign exchange center and a western comprehensive transportation hub.
Has Chengdu been the central city of Sichuan since ancient times?
In fact, from 1955 to 1997, the central city of Sichuan has always been Chongqing, and Chengdu has always been the second largest city.
Since 1983, Sichuan has adjusted its administrative regions.
Yongchuan has been merged into Chongqing, and Chengdu has been merged with Wenjiang.
Mianyang has been separated. Now, Guangyuan , Deyang and Suining Sanshi
have led to the number of prefectures, cities and prefectures in Sichuan reaching 21.
has gradually dispersed the economic size of each region.
has caused the distance from Chengdu to become farther and farther.
Why? Does it need to be made into a “Greater Chengdu”? Don’t the leaders know that this will affect the uneven development of the region?
Building the largest city in the western region is a need at the provincial level
3. The joys and worries of Chengdu becoming bigger
A large city has a strong "siphon effect" on its surroundings
This is an important law of urban development
Just like Hubei's Wuhan, Xi'an in Shaanxi
Especially Chengdu, Sichuan's economic share is too huge
, which makes Chengdu's "siphon effect" even more obvious
A large number of resources and labor are gathered in Chengdu
What follows is the " horse" Too effective", the strong are getting stronger
Because Chengdu has absorbed too many talents and resources
, it has led to the lack of development in other areas of Sichuan
It has aggravated the imbalance of economic development
It has made Chengdu's status in Sichuan getting higher and higher
So the most important problem that Sichuan needs to solve now is the problem of uncoordinated economic development in Sichuan.
Most of the economically powerful provinces in China
have two economic centers.
Guangdong has Guangzhou and Shenzhen
Jiangsu has Nanjing and Jiangsu.
Fujian has Fuzhou and Xiamen
Therefore, in 2022, the policy of "grouping" the development of Sichuan's three provincial economic sub-centers was proposed to be more balanced.
With Sichuan's continuous investment in various regions
, as long as people living in Sichuan will definitely find that their hometown is constantly changing. Development
Therefore, the news that Sichuan is vigorously developing Chengdu is not self-evident.
However, for some provinces,
"Strengthening the provincial capital" plays an important role in driving regional development and improving the visibility of the provincial capital.
Just like Wuhan, Xi'an, Hefei and other
cities. In competing for talents, attracting talents
After all, the old saying
"What is most important in the 21st century is talent"
The two strategic meanings of "strengthening the provincial capital" and "developing economic sub-center" do not conflict.
Their goals are to promote regional development.
"Strengthening the provincial capital" drives the development of the entire province
"Economic sub-center" drives the areas that the provincial capital cannot reach
So as long as we go hand in hand, Sichuan will get better and better
