In the world, the smooth development and growth of cities, and long-lasting prosperity, most of the time are built on-first of all, have a good foundation for development. These foundations include: having plains, having seas, and having good rivers and river resources. With such basic conditions for a city, it is usually difficult not to develop. In our country, there are not a few regions with one or more of these resources: North China Plain, Northeast Plain, the Middle and Lower Yangtze Plain, Guanzhong Plain, Fenhe Plain, Pearl River Delta, Hangjiahu Plain, Ningshao Plain, Ningxia Plain, Hetao Plain.
An endless fertile plain
In these plains, you can always find cities with a long history, deep cultural heritage, good agricultural and economic foundations, and suitable for development and growth.
historically protected building
But such a place is also prone to be devastated and wars in the long historical process because of its prosperous, innocent, dense population, and susceptibility to natural disasters. The suffering of turbulence.
Beacon Smoke
But since the founding of New China, the land of China has put an end to the turbulent history of more than a hundred years of continuous internal and external wars since 1840. And in the subsequent development, through continuous restoration of production and natural disaster management, economic restructuring, and the hard work of the whole people, a huge urban development system has been established. A number of world-class cities have also been developed.
Cityscape
Most of these cities are located in the east of our country, the reason is very simple,The eastern plains are more and more extensive, with dense river networks and well-developed shipping, and they are also closer to the sea. This advantage is not only conducive to the import of raw materials, but also conducive to the nearby production and processing before going overseas to supply the world. After the strategic adjustment of export to domestic demand, this advantage has been further strengthened. It has become a group of areas where my country's economic development first became rich.
Coastal economy
In the later development, through the western development plan, the vast inland hinterland has also been developed by leaps and bounds. In the inland, especially in the central and western regions that were not fully developed at the beginning of the course of globalization, a number of cities have also sprung up simultaneously. Especially in the western region, large cities represented by Xi'an, Chongqing and Chengdu have developed. Among these three cities, Xi'an is one of the four ancient unifying capitals, and Chongqing has also served as a national power in times of national crisis, and it is now the central city of the country.
Xi'an—Ancient city walls and urban architectures complement each other
Only in Chengdu, even though the name has not changed for more than a thousand years, the label and imprint of "Pan'an Corner" still seems to be rooted in people's hearts and is difficult to erase.
Chengdu is the largest city. In the seventh census in 2020, the population is 20,937,800, ranking fourth in the country. The top three are Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing in order. Without exception, they are all municipalities directly under the Central Government. Beijing is the capital and Shanghai has long been the national economic center. Chongqing’s ranking first is actually unique. If strictly speaking, In terms of the city's contiguous central area, Chengdu can enter the top three, and it is also the well-deserved provincial capital ranking first.
Chengdu is located in the center of Sichuan, but not in the center of the more populous basin
But in contrast, Chengdu ranks 7th in the country in terms of total GPD, while per capita GDP ranks 63rd in the country. "You can't enter Sichuan without getting old, and you can't get out of Shu when you grow old." The profound meaning behind this is the true portrayal of this city: the added value of the large-scale total industry is lower after being allocated to the total population, which means the overall industry The added value is not high,It also means that there are a large number of people engaged in the low-end service industry-the metropolis is the exterior of the city, but decades of time, and the atmosphere of the fireworks on the earth, is the truth that this city has inherited for thousands of years. Portrayal.
A glimpse of Chengdu teahouse
The area where Chengdu is located, in fact, does not have many advantages overall. Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the hinterland of the Sichuan Basin, the surface and groundwater systems are relatively developed. The airflow is slow and difficult to recede, and it is susceptible to pollution and difficult to control. In addition to potentially causing ecological damage to the local area, it is more likely to have a significant impact on the ecology of the densely populated middle and lower reaches along the river.
my country’s geographic and ecological diversity
Therefore, as environmental protection and ecological safety have become increasingly global issues today, the ecological importance of Chengdu, the Sichuan Basin, and even the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River will definitely be allowed again. The region develops industries with high pollution, high energy consumption and high ecological destructiveness. A large number of low-end industries with environmentally destructive properties are not suitable for the capital of Tianfu.
Beauty and destruction coexist
Today, when the overall population continues to flow to the southeast coast and will continue, it is not easy for cities to maintain population influx in the western region. Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, including Nanning, Guiyang, Kunming, Taiyuan and other cities, need to make more thinking and efforts to manage the city and promote the surrounding development. The western part of the land is beautiful. Even though the population is small, there are still hundreds of millions of people living and living here for generations. The beautiful land is not only the hometown where people put their souls, but also the place where people put their lives. We need to work hard to make people's lives happier while protecting and restoring the ecology.
