Belt-shaped cities are the most unique category in the urban layout and form classification, and are also the most impressive city form. The strip-shaped cities in my country are basically located in mountainous areas or by the sea. The more typical strip-shaped cities include Lanzhou City, Yan'an City, Baoji City , Tianshui City , Lhasa City, Panzhihua City, Maerkang City , Kangding City , Longnan City , etc. In addition, Jinan City, Yantai City , Dalian City, etc. are all quasi-banded cities. Regarding the urban layout form in Xinjiang, everyone usually believes that Xinjiang's cities are located on plain oasis, and basically belong to grid-shaped chessboard layouts (such as Shihezi City , Aral City , Tumushuke City , etc.), circular radial layouts (such as Tex County Bagua City), cluster cities, star-shaped cities, ring-shaped cities, satellite-shaped cities, multi-center group cities, etc., but it is rarely heard of strip-shaped cities. In fact, there is really a city that is a standard strip city. This is the city located in the mountains of Altai - Altai City capital city Altai City ( Yiwu county town under the jurisdiction of Hami City and Beitun City, the 10th Division of the Corps, are also strip cities).
Altay The city is 146 kilometers long from north to south and 84 kilometers wide from east to west. The total urban area is 11,500 square kilometers. It was abolished in 1984 and was established in the city. At present, the total population of Altay is 196,600, including 67,000 in the city and 16 square kilometers of built-up areas. The strip-shaped urban pattern of Altay is related to its location. Altay, the capital of Altay Region, is located in a narrow and long ravine in the Klan River. It was once the winter nest for herders. It can avoid the cold in winter and be cool in summer. From the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, this place became the political center of the region. However, with the economic and social development of the region, this beautiful small mountain city can no longer adapt to the needs of being a capital of six counties and one city. Due to the limitations of strategic location and terrain, the space is small and development is severely restricted, so it cannot play the role of radiation and driving the central city.
1. Urban planning process of Altay City, the capital of Altay Region,
Altay City's first round of urban master plan preparation was completed in May 1979 and approved and implemented in 1980 with the approval and implementation of the People's Government of the Autonomous Region, becoming the first town in Xinjiang to complete the preparation of the overall plan. The planned period at that time was: 1980-2000; the population was controlled at 50,000 people, the total land was 6.23 square kilometers, and the per capita construction land area was 110.4 square meters. The second round of master regulations for
was completed in November 1994 and was approved and implemented in January 1995 by the People's Government of the Autonomous Region. The planning period of this round is: 1995-2015; the population is controlled at 100,000 people, the planned land is 11.42 square kilometers, and the per capita construction land area is 114.2 square meters. Urban nature: "The political and cultural center of the Altay region is a small city with unique mountain characteristics mainly focusing on the development of agricultural and livestock products, gold and jewelry processing industry, tourism and vacation"; urban planning structure: adopt a belt-shaped development with a dual-center, the central area is the Jiefang Road area, and a sub-center is set up in the Baiyang Bridge in the south of the city; urban development direction: improve development within the current construction area, and then develop compactly to the north and south. The third round of planning of
was compiled by China Urban Planning and Design Institute in August 2003, and the "Altay City Urban Master Plan (2003-2020)" was submitted to the People's Government of the Autonomous Region in July 2004. Because the city established at that time reported to the Ministry of Construction to file the registration, the People's Government of the Autonomous Region did not approve it, but it can refer to the implementation, becoming the only illegal plan for Altay City to implement urban planning. The planning period of this round is: 2003-2020; the population is controlled at 120,000 people, the planned land is controlled at 16 square kilometers, and the per capita construction land area is 134 square meters; the nature of the city: "The political and cultural center of the Altay region, a tourist and leisure city characterized by the nomadic culture, mountains and rivers and ice and snow of the Altai Mountains"; the urban spatial structure: with Klan River as the main axis, extending north and south along the main roads of the two sides, forming a dual-center belt-shaped group layout structure; the direction of urban development: mainly to the south and north. Currently, the built-up area of the city is 10.62 square kilometers.
At present, Altay is preparing the "Altay City Urban Land and Space Master Plan (2022-2035)", which has initially demarcated the "three zones and three lines", established a database, and built an land space information platform and a map system. The new Altay urban development boundary is defined according to 1.3 times the current urban construction land.
2. Altay region has considered that Beitun New District and Fuhai New District are regional central cities and promote new industrialization. It needs to rely on a central city to play a strong radiation and driving role in the surrounding area. Therefore, the Altay region first considered the development of Beitun Town . Beitun Town, located in northern Xinjiang and central Altay region, is stepping up the construction of the "Beitun New District", which can form a new city with obvious characteristics within a few years. The "Beitun New District" is located on the north bank of the Ertzis River, one of the main rivers in Xinjiang. The terrain here is flat and vast, and is a transportation center. It crosses through the national highway 1 and provincial highways, and is only forty kilometers away from the existing Altay Airport. By next autumn, railways and expressways will be accessible here.
Beitun New City is overall layout as "one park and two districts". As the main living area, the planned area is 15 square kilometers in the near future, 50 square kilometers in the long term, and the planned population is 100,000 and 200,000 in the long term. In terms of urban style, the overall planning and design is mainly Nordic modern style, and it reflects the Kazakh cultural style. The highest residential houses are only four floors. It will be built into a low-density, environmentally friendly and energy-saving forest city. The forest coverage rate of will reach more than 60%, and there will be water systems around the city. The construction of the "Beitun New Area" will focus on the rich mineral resources characteristics of Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia in the Altai Mountains, and strive to build the Altai region into the center of mineral development around the Altai Mountains.
However, Beitun New District still does not have obvious advantages in Fuhai New District. Therefore, the Altay region has re-selected the site selection consideration, and Fuhai, located in the central location of the Altay region, has convenient transportation, especially the Fuhai, which has been opened in , has become a candidate. The preparation of the Fuhai New District Master Plan was started. In August 2010, the "Altay Fuhai Master Plan (2009-2030)" passed the official approval of the People's Government of the Autonomous Region.
Fuhai New District is still formulating its plan, the Altay Prefectural Committee and the Administrative Office have set the goal of aligning with the world-class level. They invited the internationally renowned British Patton Wilmore Company and Brown Harbord Company to prepare the conceptual plan of Fuhai New Area, and cooperated with the Beijing Tsinghua Urban Design Institute to prepare the "Fuhai New Area Master Plan", and commissioned well-known design units such as Cambridge Urban Development Design Research Company, Tongji University Architectural Design Research Institute , North China Design Institute and other well-known design units to complete the "Fuhai New Area Control Detailed Plan", as well as infrastructure special plans and urban water systems, important urban nodes, residential communities, high schools, etc. These high-level plans make the Fuhai New District in the future a beautiful and culturally charming garden city. The high-level urban planning has laid a good foundation for us to build Fuhai New District into the most beautiful and livable city in Xinjiang.
Altay region has another intention to strive to build Fuhai New Area. Because the central location of Fuhai New Area is clear at a glance - it is the core area of the entire Altai Mountain area and an important bridgehead and hub connecting surrounding Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and other countries. The mineral resources of the Altay region and neighboring countries have good convergence. In the international environment of economic globalization, there is great potential for developing the port foreign trade economy. It is imperative to accelerate the construction of Fuhai New Area and build it into a high ground for industrial development around the Altai Mountains.
The formation of an industrial highland cannot be separated from the support of a central city. A series of service systems such as schools, hospitals, commerce, and finance in the city will enable the city to have good service functions and further realize the aggregation of production factors such as enterprises, technology, funds, and talents. It can be seen from this that the construction of Fuhai New District is a wonderful step that concerns the overall situation, has a global vision and strategic thinking.
3. The Altay region has firmly established the development idea of Altay as the center of city
In the future, the Altay region will optimize the layout of regional cities (towns), take the three pillar industries as the driving force, and use Qianli Gallery as the link to strive to build a three-dimensional city as the regional center, and the three counties of Burjin, Fuhai and Fuyun as the sub-center, and the Burjin-Haba River- Jimunai , Altay- Beitun -Fuhai and Fuyun-Qinghe three-group city (town) group development pattern, and build a modern urban agglomeration in the northern border with Altay that has both the natural scenery of mountains and rivers and the rich local style. Optimize administrative regional settings, promote the abolition of prefectures and cities in Altay, and set up municipal districts in Altay, strive to abolish counties with mature conditions to establish counties and cities, and carry out the work of abolishing townships and building towns and towns (towns) and street transformation according to local conditions.
