shibei : Modern international urban area growth
"Accelerate the intrinsic development of and shape the core area of fashion charm" this is the new positioning of the 13th Municipal Party Congress for the development direction of the four districts in Qingdao . For Shibei, the old city, finding a breakthrough path for urban renewal and urban construction has also found the key to breaking through the "connotation-oriented development".
" Shibei District is the main battlefield and main position of the city's three-year tough campaign, covering a wide range of areas and heavy tasks. In the three-year tough campaign, projects, investments, factors and policies are all tilted towards the main city, which is an excellent opportunity for Shibei District." Shibei District Party Secretary Gao Jian said that Shibei District must seize the opportunity, strive to be the vanguard of urban renewal and industrial renewal, comprehensively build a prosperous, beautiful and happy modern international urban area, and strive to write a new chapter in the high-quality development of Shibei District.
At present, Shibei District takes the three-year campaign of urban renewal and urban construction as a starting point to coordinate epidemic prevention and control work and economic development. Industrial projects and people's livelihood project construction is constantly increasing and not slowing down. A "modern international urban area" with high-end industries agglomeration, comfortable living environment, and improved urban quality is growing.
inherits a century-old cultural context, and the western urban areas are linked to renew
Historical context is the soul of the city.
stands on the high-rise of Zhonglian Free Harbor. The excavation parts of the foundation pits of the three major plots of the start-up area of Qingdao International Cruise Port have been connected into one piece. Excavators roar in the big pit, and dump trucks shuttle back and forth. The supporting container tribal project of the start-up area has been completed. Small buildings built from stacking containers and like building blocks rose from the ground, becoming a view by the sea.
, which is only one road away from Qingdao International Cruise Port Area, has been updated quite effective. Walking in the historical district of Shanghai Road-Wuding Road, the hollowed-out cross flower courtyard wall and the chess waistline of Liu Zishan Villa is reviving. In the south of Sifang Road Historical District, some of the merchants have begun to open. The simple red bricks and green trees complement each other, and the air emits the aroma of coffee and a lazy atmosphere. The art spaces hidden in the alleys have reborn Laoliyuan.
From the historical city to the east, the upgrade and transformation of Taitung business district is in full swing. The sound of ding dong dong was heard one after another, announcing the start of the third construction section of the Weihai Road peace and war combined with the underground project. The crossing bridge of Taitung Third Road Pedestrian Street temporarily bid farewell to citizens, and the comprehensive pipeline network and landscape environment optimization and improvement project was launched simultaneously.
From a spatial perspective, these three busy construction scenes can be linked to the territory of Shibei District, forming a picture of the transformation and renewal of the western urban area of the north. From the perspective of time, looking back along the axis of history, we can explore their prosperous situation a hundred years ago: "There are thousands of miles of bushes, and the sails cover the sea." More than a hundred years ago, Qingdao started from Dagang, and the port and this city coexisted and flourished; Dabao Island and Dongzhen gathered merchants, nurturing Qingdao's industrial, commercial culture and national industry.
The changes of the times have made the prosperity of the past desolate for a while. Under the urban development logic of "asking about the stock to develop", how to activate the sleeping cultural genes and reshape the vitality of urban development through organic renewal? In addition to working hard on the "material" planning and construction of space and buildings, Shibei District also focuses on industrial introduction and business function updates.
reporter learned that, against the transformation of Hamburg Port in Germany, Qingdao International Cruise Port Area will rise to "two future cities". The overhead city will gather high-end elements such as shipping, trade, finance, science and technology innovation, culture and tourism, and create an international shipping trade financial innovation port and a high-quality coastal leisure vitality zone; the dungeon takes TOD development as the core and uses seawater sources, air sources and other technologies to build a "zero carbon Bay Area". The historical urban area is digging deep into the historical context of the regional "Dabao Island", using the revival of Dabao Island as the underlying logic to carry out the standard historical urban tourism routes and product design of 5A-level scenic spots, and introducing six major business formats such as cultural experience, creative retail, and leisure and entertainment. Weihai Road peace and war combined with underground engineering, a large commercial complex will link the beer cultural business district and Taitung Pedestrian Street to further expand the development space of Taitung business district, improve the quality of the business district, and enrich the business formats.
focuses on the momentum of modern industry, 5,000 acres of inefficient land have accumulated momentum and transformed
At No. 16 Hangzhou Road, the construction of the locomotive park of the first phase of CRRC Sifang Zhihui Port has been completed. The water-system fountain ground in the square has been designed as the original Jiaoji Railway Road map. Different types of locomotives and buses that once walked out from here stand, becoming a beautiful landscape. It is understood that the locomotive park will be officially opened to the public in the near future, which will be the first project to be updated and unveiled in the Lao Sifang Industrial Zone.
"In addition to paying attention to the protection and utilization of industrial heritage, the CRRC Sifang Zhihui Port project also carries functions such as industrial return and smart park construction. This year, we will fully launch the main construction of Hangzhou Road and River renovation project, industrial demonstration zone and job-housing supporting area." Dung Jihui, deputy general manager of CRRC Science and Technology Park (Qingdao) Co., Ltd., introduced that the industrial demonstration zone will take CRRC leading enterprises as the main body, introduce industries such as the research and development of rail transit core system, forward-looking technology pre-research and development, and create a high-end smart factory.
Looking back at the "old Sifang", this was once an industrial gathering place and a place of residence for employees. With the advancement of the relocation and transformation of old enterprises, the regional functions of this area have decreased. How to "empty the cage and replace the golden bird" so that it can not only meet the needs of economic structural adjustment, but also improve the quality of the city and reshape the urban interface? From the rise of CRRC Sifang Zhihui Port, the future "urban science city", we may find the answer - focus on new momentum and create a new highland for modern industries.
sorting out the three-year campaign of urban renewal and urban construction in Shibei District. It is not difficult to see that in response to the old Sifang Industrial Zone, the key inefficient area, Shibei District is planning to develop and construct more than 5,000 mu of idle land resources in the international big health industry cluster, multinational company regional headquarters cluster, artificial intelligence industrial cluster, CRRC Sifang Zhihui Port, Jeneng Zhongtai District and Zhengzhou Road area, further optimize the industrial structure, improve urban functions, and improve urban quality.
Among them, the international big health industry cluster will integrate the national health cooperation engine, advanced scientific and technological achievement transformation center, and the Asian health entrepreneurship city to create an industrial cluster with health care and R&D incubation as the core. Happy Coast City will combine artificial intelligence and the construction of regional headquarters clusters of multinational companies to improve regional urban vitality and build a mature area for industrial and urban integration in the east coast of Jiaozhou Bay . CRRC Sifang Zhihui Port will develop the industrial Internet and science and technology finance industries on the basis of protecting and utilizing industrial heritage and build a fourth-generation industrial park. The Jeneng Zhongtai area will build a high-quality and vibrant waterfront living area. The Zhengzhou Road area will use the TOD development model to build a high-end new materials industry cluster that integrates scientific research headquarters, military-civilian integration , and trade and finance.
There is no doubt that the linkage of these industrial sectors will surely activate the Lao Sifang Industrial Zone and crack the " industrial hollowing out " state in this area. With the advantageous location and complete functional section settings of the old city, this will surely be the future talent "traffic pool". Whether it is the industry itself or the flow of high-end talents, it will become a fulcrum, leveraging the renewal of the entire region of industries and helping Shibei build a modern international urban area.
focuses on living, business and travel, and give priority to making up for the shortcomings in people's livelihood
The consideration of modern international urban areas is multi-dimensional, and people are undoubtedly the most important scale.
The transformation of shanty towns is a necessary path for urban transformation and quality improvement, and it is also a "bottom-up" project to improve people's livelihood. On the morning of March 3, as soon as the mobilization meeting for the "Year of Improvement of Work Style and Capacity" activity in Shibei District ended, some party members and cadres "transferred" to the site of the first phase of Ninghua Road shantytown renovation and expropriation project. On the same day, the battle for house demolition in Shibei District officially started here, and the demolition of five shantytown renovation vacant houses was launched simultaneously, with a total of 35,000 square meters of demolished houses.
In fact, since the city’s three-year urban renewal and urban construction campaign was launched, Shibei District has conducted a survey on the entire district and sorted out 800,000 square meters of empty house resources for the renovation of shantytowns. The demolished vacant land has released a large amount of spatial resources for urban development, which is particularly precious for the old urban area where every inch of land is valuable.But what exactly does the demolition of the open space do? The reporter learned that in order to better carry out the urban renewal construction, Shibei District has set up a special working group to focus on urban micro-renewal to make up for shortcomings, so that the people can truly feel the changes at their doorsteps and share the welfare of renewal.
"We will divide the shantytown renovation assets into different categories according to residential and commercial land, main road planning and widening land, primary and kindergarten land, elderly care service facilities land, and parking lot areas, and formulate disposal plans in a classified manner, and then work with state-owned companies of each district to promote it in an orderly manner on the basis of meeting the requirements of the control regulations." Zhong Qi, the relevant person in charge of the special team of the housing expropriation and vacant house disposal and utilization of Shibei District, introduced that this year, Shibei District will first start the disposal and utilization of 200,000 square meters of vacant houses such as Shanghai Road-Wuding Road block, and plan to complete the renovation before the end of the year to meet the delivery and utilization conditions. At the same time, according to the needs of education and teaching, residents' lives, public facilities such as schools, parking lots, citizen centers, and leisure parks will be improved, and the shortcomings of supporting facilities will be filled, so as to effectively improve the people's sense of gain and happiness.
Only when people respect people can they have a future and vitality. In the list of three-year campaign projects in Shibei District, we can see that with people as the starting point and focusing on livable, business and tourism, Shibei District will accelerate the promotion of key municipal transportation facilities projects such as the Second Undersea Tunnel, Liaoyang Road Expressway, Tanghe Road, and Nanjing Road widening; build 15 new public parking lots and add more than 6,800 parking spaces; complete the rectification and improvement of 10 mountain parks such as Fushan, Beilingshan, Water Storage Mountain , and build 13 kilometers of coastal pedestrian paths and 7 .3 kilometers of Fushan Mountain Ring Greenway, 9 urban pocket parks, etc.; promote the construction of 10 supporting schools such as Shuangshan Primary School and Tongde Road Primary School; accelerate the "zero" of 536 shantytown renovation households, and start the expropriation of more than 3,200 houses; aim at the most prominent renovation needs of the people, and all old communities built before 2000 in the whole district should be renovated...
is happy from the near and far, and I yearn for it, a modern international urban area is growing. (Qingdao Daily/Guanhai News Reporter Yu Ruixin)
