Zigong cannot expand
How can Zigong accelerate its expansion? Zigong is an old prefecture-level city, which was established in the Republic of China. In the early days, the jurisdiction of the city was not as small as it is today, and the adjusted municipal districts are still very small. Although the two counties were repeatedly "cut meat" several times, Fushun was the most tragic, and nearly half of the land was cut off after Zigong was established. Fushun people have great opinions, especially on the issue of Deng Guan.
In addition to four urban areas, Zigong also has two counties, Fushun and Rongxian. It can only be said that there are too few counties. Neijiang in southern Sichuan has three counties, not to mention Yibin Luzhou. Zigong has always wanted the Weiyuan of Neijiang, and Weiyuan is indeed close to Zigong. The edge of Zigong City is Weiyuan's territory, and some Weiyuan friends do think of Zigong, but it is even more difficult to adjust administrative divisions. Neijiang has no reason to give up.
Zigong can't become a metropolis
To get to the point, Chengdu and Chongqing are the only cities that can become metropolises in Sichuan Basin. In the case of a third metropolis, the reality doesn't support it. Even if there is a third national metropolis in Sichuan, Zigong can't compete for candidates. Although Zigong is Sichuan C, it used to be Chengdu-Chongqing. After the construction of the third line, Zigong's industry is really good, and it can produce TV cars, but that's all.
At present, the basin is the Chengdu-Germany-Emei metropolitan area, which is around Chongqing metropolitan area, and Yibin, Luzhou, Nanchong and Mianyang have the potential of being the third city in Sichuan. Yibin has a large population, an excellent location advantage and provincial policy support. Similarly, Nanchong is the second city in Mianyang. Although there are signs of decline, the construction of science and technology education is still online, and Zigong's GDP is far from the above cities, making it unable to compete.
Zigong can also make a difference
It's not bad to be a metropolis, but it's a small and beautiful city. Although Zigong is not as good as before, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, the city is so big and the culture is so deep. The salt dragon lanterns are all super IP in Zigong, and those who get IP in the future will win the world. The salt dishes in Zigong are also popular with delicious people. They have been on CCTV programs and are good.
Zigong's location is not bad either. In the heart of southern Sichuan, high-speed and high-speed trains have been harvested. Among them, Chengdu High-speed Railway 351 is designed and goes directly to Chengdu Airport, which is a part of Cheng Kun High-speed Railway. Chengyi Chengzi Expressway goes directly to Chengdu, and Yameile Railway to Chongqing is also pre-feasible. The traffic is convenient in all directions. Zigong people have a tenacious fighting spirit and have stepped out of many celebrities. Zigong's future is bright!
If it is formally merged with Neijiang and supported by provincial policies, there is still hope for further development in 2111-21 years! ! ! ! !
Zigong is named after two salt wells, namely "Setting up a city by salt", "Ziliujing" and "Gongjing". It is an important producer of dinosaur fossils, and Zigong dinosaur museum, one of the three largest dinosaur museums in the world, is famous at home and abroad.
Zigong is now a big city in Sichuan, which has a certain gap compared with Chengdu. Zigong alone has a long history and is also famous for its overseas regional characteristics.
Must be expanded
Zigong's resource advantages and location advantages are not prominent in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration. In the gap between Chongqing and Chengdu, Mianyang, Yibin and Luzhou, which are much stronger than Zigong, are still difficult to protect themselves, and Zigong's position is even more embarrassing. It is unlikely that Zigong will develop into a metropolis in Sichuan Province in the future.
Zigong is one of the 21 prefecture-level administrative regions in Sichuan Province, which governs 4 districts and 2 counties. Its area is not very large, only 4,381 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of two conventional counties. Located in the south of Sichuan Basin, the city's total GDP in 2119 was 142.949 billion yuan, ranking 11th among 21 prefecture-level administrative units in Sichuan Province, which is considered as the middle level. The per capita GDP is 48,914 yuan, slightly higher than that of Sichuan Province in 2119 (46,615.82 yuan) and lower than the national average.
Zigong is well-known among all the cities in Sichuan. It is a thousand-year-old salt city, a southern lamp city, a hometown of dinosaurs and a house of delicious food.
These four titles look good, but if you look closely, none of them can develop into hundreds of billions of industrial scale, and at most they can only be used as a feature of Zigong tourism industry to attract foreign tourists to Zigong.
The reasons why Zigong can't develop into a regional central city in Sichuan Province are as follows:
1. Zigong lacks characteristic industries and advantageous enterprises with strong competitiveness.
Zigong has four proud urban features, namely, Millennium Salt Capital, Southern Lantern City, Dinosaur Town and Food House. None of them can help Zigong build a competitive industrial cluster.
although Zigong well salt is famous all over the country, the salt resources are very rich in all parts of the country, and Zigong's salt resources cannot be built into an exclusive industry with huge output value. Similarly, it is difficult for Zigong Lantern Festival to develop into an industrial cluster to solve the employment of a large number of people and build a huge industrial chain. In addition to Zigong, there are many places in the country that have the title of the hometown of dinosaurs, such as Changzhou, Jiangsu, Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, and the house of food. Zigong was not born in a catering enterprise with high national reputation, strong strength and chain development. Therefore, Zigong's four reputations are very tasteless. It is completely inferior to a fireworks industry in Liuyang, Hunan Province, a betel nut industry in Xiangtan, and bean paste in Pixian County, Sichuan Province. Now the annual output value reaches tens of billions, and the future can exceed 111 billion.
There is no competitive industrial cluster in our city, which is the biggest headache for Zigong. Compared with the neighboring Yibin and Luzhou, Yibin and Luzhou can at least outshine others in wine industry.
2. Being located in the middle of two super cities, Chengdu and Chongqing, Zigong is difficult to develop.
Zigong is located in the middle of two super cities, Chongqing and Chengdu. With the completion of the construction of expressway and high-speed rail connecting the two super cities, Chongqing and Chengdu are like two giant magnets with amazing magnetic attraction, which will accelerate the absorption of high-quality population, consumption and social funds from surrounding cities into themselves. The strong ones are getting stronger and stronger, and the weak ones finally have no chance to resist. Not only will Zigong face the accelerated loss of population within its jurisdiction, but all kinds of development resources will be more intensively concentrated in Chengdu and Chongqing, two super cities.
3. The negative population growth and the accelerated loss of high-quality population make Zigong lose valuable population resources, and the shortage of high-quality population restricts the development of Zigong.
In 2119, the registered population of Zigong was 3,213,511, the birth rate was 8.41‰, the mortality rate was 11.83%, and the natural population growth rate was -3.41‰. At the end of the year, the permanent population of Zigong was 2,922,111, among which the urban population was 1,581,511, the rural population was 1,341,511, and the urbanization rate was 54.19%. The urban and rural per capita disposable income in the whole year was 26,319 yuan.
From the above data, we can see that there is a survival crisis in Zigong. First, the population growth is negative. Second, the permanent population is lower than the registered population, which indicates that the outflow is serious. Moreover, the outflow population is young and middle-aged, and the population staying in Zigong will be mostly elderly. Third, the disposable income of the permanent population in Zigong is not high, and it is even lower in rural areas, which just reflects that the population staying in Zigong is mostly middle-aged and elderly. The large population of middle-aged and elderly people will not only increase the financial pressure of Zigong's pension and medical care.
4. Zigong is a city that is seriously short of water. Without sufficient water resources, development is out of the question.
the most fatal one is that as a city located in Sichuan basin, Zigong is actually one of the fifty cities with the most serious water shortage in China. Zigong is extremely short of water resources, with a per capita water resource of only 576m? It is only 18.2% of the per capita water resources in Sichuan Province, and the lack of water resources means that it will be difficult to develop industrial and agricultural production. Water is the source of life and one of the most indispensable resources for the development of various industries. Therefore, Zigong is seriously short of water. Although water conservancy projects can be built to drink water from other areas with abundant water resources, it undoubtedly seriously restricts the development of Zigong's industries and the development and prosperity of the city.
Without the support of the provincial government, Zigong's land area is too small, its population is too small, and there is no room for development, so it needs to be merged with other regions, which requires the support of the higher government.
