Xiangyang starts urban upgrade action! Aiming at the "Double 300" to build a benchmark big city of Type I and build the Xiangyang metropolitan area
On September 14, 2022, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province held a meeting to pass relevant opinions and make decisions. The meeting proposed that by 2035, the total economic output of will exceed 1.6 trillion yuan, the population of the central urban area will reach 3 million, and the built-up area will reach 300 square kilometers. From a type II large city to a type I large city, the coordinated development of urban and rural areas will reach a high level, the people's lives will be happier and healthy, and substantial progress will be made in common prosperity. Hanjiang basin The energy level of the benchmark city with high-quality development has been significantly improved, the modern Xiangyang metropolitan area has been basically completed, leads the development of the Han River Basin and radiates to the Nanxiang Basin to fully utilize its functions, the core hub node status connecting the new channel of the central and western regions has become more prominent, and the development capacity of the "Xiangshi Sui Shen" urban agglomeration has been comprehensively enhanced, making new and greater contributions to Hubei's construction of a pilot zone for building a new development pattern in the country.
On September 15, the leaders of Xiangyang City said in the reading class activity that the city upgrade action should be implemented. It is reported that this is a new era and new strategy proposed by Xiangyang City since 2012 that integrates the highest goal, the clearest upgrade goal, and the most comprehensive goal of co-construction and sharing of urban consortiums.
By 2035, the total economic output of Xiangyang City will exceed 1.6 trillion yuan. Based on the base of 530.943 billion yuan in 2021, it means that it will increase by 1070 billion yuan in the next 14 years, with an average annual growth of more than 76.4 billion yuan. Judging from the increase of 70.746 billion yuan in 2021, it will reach 152.0444 billion yuan in 2035 in 14 years, and the data is showing a steady progress. Judging from the growth rate of 15.37% in 2021, the goal of exceeding 1.6 trillion can be achieved in 2028. However, the 2021 data was caused by the impact of special circumstances in 2020. It does not meet the conditions for normalized data research, and there are subsequent impacts, and more complex international factors have been added. Therefore, we have comprehensively coordinated factors of all parties and scientifically formulated the goal of the total economic output exceeding 1.6 trillion yuan in 2035.
By 2035, the population of Xiangyang's central urban area will reach 3 million and the built-up area will reach 300 square kilometers, successfully moving from a type II big city to a type I big city. This goal is consistent with the "Hubei Province New Urbanization Plan (2021-2035)", which positiones Xiangyang as a type I large city, marking that Xiangyang City has entered a new era of implementing the "Plan" and officially launches urban upgrade action.
According to the "Notice on Adjusting the Standards for Urban Scale Division", my country's urban levels are divided into five categories and seven levels. The first category is megacities, with a permanent urban population of more than 10 million, and there are less than 20 megacities in the country. Wuhan City, Hubei Province belongs to this level. The second is megacity, large cities (type I large cities, type II large cities), medium cities, and small cities (type I small cities, type II small cities). Authoritative data from
shows that at the end of 2021, Xiangyang City had a registered population of 5.867 million, a permanent population of 5.271 million, and a urban population of 1.5416 million. On the surface, this data does not seem to have much advantage, but based on the number of permanent residents in the city, the population of Xiangyang urban area accounts for a large share, which is very good. It is worth mentioning that the urban area of Xiangyang is 50% more than the permanent population of urban areas in the surrounding similar central cities, and is also equivalent to the permanent population of urban areas in cities with registered population of tens of millions. It can be seen that Xiangyang's radiation power and competitiveness are at the leading level in the surrounding areas.
According to the city scale classification standard, cities with a total of more than 1 million and less than 3 million are type II large cities. Xiangyang, with a population of 1.5416 million in urban areas, ranks among the largest non-provincial capital cities with the largest permanent population among the cities with a registered 5-10 million in the central region of . It should also be noted that this standard is different from similar urban divisions such as "one, two, three, four, five, and six". The former is a document approved by the State Council, and the latter is a ranking list with institutions as the main body and cannot be equated.
combined with the 2035 target, the population of Xiangyang's central urban area will double from 1.5416 million to more than 3 million, and will be upgraded to a legal type I large city, filling the gap between type I large cities in Hubei and even the Han River Basin, and opening a new chapter for restarting the old dream of megacities.The built-up area has increased from 200 square kilometers to 300 square kilometers. It is speculated that the newly added 100 square kilometers are mainly located in Dongjin New District and High-tech Zone. Some are located in Xiangcheng District , Fancheng District , and Hangzhou District . At this point, the strength of Xiangyang's central city has risen to the scale of a medium-level provincial capital city, becoming the leading city in the first echelon of non-provincial capital cities in the central and western regions, and has become the second front in the country.
More than ten years ago, our province issued the "Hubei Province Urbanization and Urban Development Strategic Plan (2010-2030)", and Xiangyang City was positioned as "a provincial sub-center, a regional central city in northwestern Hubei and the Han River Basin, and a central city in the adjacent areas of Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and Chongqing." That year, Xiangyang City proposed a bold and ambitious idea to accelerate the realization of Xiangyang's revitalization, superimposed mega-city elements on the basis of the central city, build a mega-city central city among the four major urban circle groups of Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xi'an and Chongqing, and depict the near- and long-term goals of Xiangyang's mega-city central city. The main urban area will reach a scale of 200 square kilometers and a population of 2 million by 2015, and a scale of 387 square kilometers and a population of 3.8 million by 2050. At the same time, we will deeply explore the resources of Hanshui , laying the foundation for the construction of the central city of the Hanshui River Basin, forming a "four-in-one" urban Xiangyang urban system with satellite cities, characteristic towns and new communities, forming a "four-in-one" urban Xiangyang urban system driven by Xiangyang's mega-center city, and two major cities, river valleys and Zaoyang are the supporting pillars of the urban sub-center, and Nanzhang and Yicheng integrated development into a strong fortress in the county, and Baokang is the functional allocation of the urban back garden.
learned from the information that Xiangyang has now completed the goal of 200 square kilometers in the main urban area. The population of the main urban area ( Xiangcheng , Fancheng , Xiangzhou ) has also reached 2 million, indicating that Xiangyang City has developed rapidly in the past decade. It is expected that the central urban area will reach 387 square kilometers and the central urban area will reach a population of 3.8 million by 2040. After these goals are achieved, Xiangyang will become a stronger central city in the Han River Basin, a cross-provincial central city, a national key city and a benchmark city for high-quality development. The modern Xiangyang metropolitan area composed of inter-provincial cities in Hubei and Henan will also be more prosperous, and is expected to be ranked among the top ten metropolitan areas in the central and western regions such as Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu-Chongqing, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Tanzhou, Hefei, and Nanchang.
