About 20 miles northeast of Shihu Lake in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, Pingtan Ding Dong is in the alley of Pingjiang Road in the old city. Outside the flower window, the cruise ship swayed in the river, and the tourists leaned down curiously and found that there were "many fish strung together" in the clear river. Suzhou Industrial Park, known as "foreign Suzhou", is located at 15 miles east of Pingjiang Road, with lights flashing on Jinji Lake and a trail around the lake 14 kilometers, making it a good place for citizens to exercise and relax. Sightseeing and fitness, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the circle of friends and satisfying a happy life.
Smart Suzhou really makes people linger. It is a "paradise" of water, with a dense river network, 353 lakes, more than 20,000 rivers and a water area of 3,205 square kilometers. It is known as the "Oriental Water City".
"Clear water in one river" is the test sign of Suzhou's practice of ecological civilization. Ecological protection and economic development, how to achieve "economic development and ecological protection are both suitable"? Suzhou innovatively implemented the method of "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division", which promoted the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Qiputang, Wang Yu and their tributaries as a whole, forced the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, opened up the conversion channel between green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan, and embarked on a new path of ecological priority and green development.
Distinguished professor of Suzhou University and fang shinan, chief expert of Soochow think tank of Suzhou University, believe that Suzhou is trying to solve the ecological problems of rivers and lakes from the root, and let future generations enjoy ecological space by changing subtraction into ecological addition, division into extensive growth and multiplication into the construction of development quality.
"Breaking Cage for Green" Layout of New Industries
"Oriental Water City" is also eclipsed. Under the development model of "hero by GDP", the intensity of land development and utilization in Suzhou is close to the international warning line of 30%, and the contradiction between people and water is prominent. In 2009, 45.7% of the water in the surface water functional area was inferior to Grade V, and in 20 14, the city's wastewater discharge reached the peak 140,000 tons. On 20 16, 932 black and odorous water bodies were found in the whole city, and the people strongly reflected the ecological environment problems of rivers and lakes.
Suzhou's leading group was lost in thought. The economy has gone up, but the environment has deteriorated. Where is "development for the people"? We should be problem-oriented, take the improvement of water environment as an important yardstick to test people's satisfaction, coordinate the management of landscape, forest, field, lake and grass system, and restore beautiful rivers and lakes with clear water, green shore and shallow fish.
2065438+On April 24th, 2007, Suzhou issued the "Implementation Plan for Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of River Length System", which clearly stated that by 2020, the compliance rate of water functional areas in the city will reach 82%, the treatment rate of urban domestic sewage will reach 98% and 92% respectively, and the treatment rate of rural domestic sewage will increase from 80% to 85%. Experts pointed out that this is not a simple digital change, but a change in Suzhou's development concept of "consciousness transformation, development transformation and ecological optimization".
Suzhou has managed to control water from the system. Taking the quality of ecological environment as the red line of responsibility of the party committees and governments of districts, counties and towns, and incorporating the system of river length and lake length into the key special work or urgent and dangerous tasks promoted by the municipal party Committee and municipal government for special assessment, it forced the river length and lake length at all levels to earnestly shoulder the responsibility of protecting rivers and lakes. By the end of April 20 19, there were 5 106 long rivers and lakes in the city, and each river and lake had "parents".
The change of the fate of "Tiehuangsha" reflects the change of the development concept of the local government. "Iron Yellow Sand" is a beach of the Yangtze River in Changshu. Because of its superior geographical position, it was once considered to have the natural advantage of building a deep-water port. To this end, Changshu had planned to turn "Tiehuangsha" into a modern logistics base. However, with the proposal of the Yangtze River Economic Belt that "* * * pays attention to protection and does not engage in large-scale development", the fate of "iron yellow sand" has once again ushered in a turning point. Since 20 17, Changshu has formulated the Work Plan for Strengthening Ecological Environment Protection in the Yangtze River Basin, further strengthening the green development orientation, and bringing "Tiehuangsha" into the three-dimensional rectification along the Yangtze River to prepare for its future inclusion in the 10,000-mu ecological corridor of the Yangtze River. Today's "Tiehuangsha" is being built into an ecological island with more than 7,000 acres of natural plant communities. The island has both channels for fish breeding and migration in the Yangtze River and artificial isolated migratory bird protection areas.
"Implementing" * * * attaches great importance to protection and does not engage in large-scale development "is to solve superficial environmental problems and deeper economic problems. It is necessary to force industrial transformation and upgrading through environmental governance, and develop new industries and new economies through "changing cages for green", "changing cages for birds" and "attracting phoenix" to improve the ecological environment and economic quality simultaneously. " Zhou Qindi, secretary of Changshu Municipal Party Committee, said.
All rivers and lakes are "managed by someone" and "managed together"
Suzhou is a typical water network area in Jiangnan Plain, and the connectivity of water determines the systematicness and integrity of water control. The implementation of the system of river length and lake length, as well as the innovative establishment of "river length", have enabled all departments to seamlessly connect and form a joint effort, and Suzhou has truly realized the "manned management" and "unified management" of all rivers and lakes.
Difficult "hard bones" are "chewed" bit by bit. Beihengtao is a town-level river running through the east and west in the south of Daxin Town, Zhangjiagang City. Illegal construction along the river leads to serious direct discharge of sewage, which affects flood safety and destroys the ecological environment of the river. The people did not understand the "5 meters along the coast" cleaning plan, which led to the stagnation of demolition. Liu Jun, secretary of the General Party Branch of Zhongshan Village and village-level river chief, came to the villagers' homes to carry out "three meetings and three solutions" (public opinion forum, policy interpretation meeting and contradiction resolution meeting, which "solved policies, contradictions and people's livelihood" for the villagers), and finally got the villagers' understanding and support, and the demolition was successfully completed. After renovation, the Beitao Ganges River in Daxin Town has taken on a new look, forming a good situation of integrated development of beautiful countryside, characteristic agriculture and rural tourism.
The river length system not only promoted the management of rivers and lakes in Suzhou, but also established a "joint river length system" with border areas. Wujiang District and Xiuzhou District of Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province hired 58 joint river chiefs, and a number of cross-border river and lake management problems that existed for many years were quickly solved. At the beginning of 2065438+2008, the head of the town-level joint river of the two places found that the Qingxi River at the junction was seriously silted. On the basis of in-depth investigation, the two sides agreed to invest 654.38 billion yuan to carry out dredging at the same time. In just a few months, the river silt that has been deposited for more than 40 years has been removed.
Under the demonstration effect of "Joint River Length System" in Wujiang District and Xiuzhou District, Suzhou actively coordinated with Qingpu in Shanghai, Jiaxing in Zhejiang, Huzhou and other places to establish the "Joint River Length System", which made a beneficial exploration for the regional integration of water control in the Yangtze River Delta.
In the process of water environment treatment in Suzhou, it is clearly recognized that the problem lies in water, the root is on the shore, and source control is the top priority of water pollution treatment. Suzhou regards rural domestic sewage as the key pollution source for remediation, and takes the "three links" of kitchen, bathroom and washing machine sewage as the conditions for acceptance of rural domestic sewage treatment. From 20 18 to 2020, Suzhou's financial plans at all levels will invest nearly 8 billion yuan to manage 7,625 villages. The treatment rate of rural domestic sewage in the whole city is over 90%, and the treatment rate of villages associated with drinking water sources is 100%, and the rivers in the villages are increasingly clear.
Let the scenic spot form a new economy.
"Take biomedicine as'1industry' and rebuild a trillion-dollar industry to support the sustainable development of Suzhou in the future 10, 20 years or even longer." On April 25th, at the Suzhou Biomedical Development Conference held in Jinji Lake, Lan, member of the Standing Committee of jiangsu provincial party committee and secretary of Suzhou Municipal Party Committee, expressed his heartfelt wishes to thousands of guests at home and abroad.
The electronic information industry has supported the development of Suzhou for more than 30 years, and it is still releasing the dividend of deep development. Compared with the electronic information industry, the biomedical industry needs to gather more high-end and professional talents around the world. Where is Suzhou from?
Environment and economy are mutually causal, which makes the scenic spot form a new economy. Suzhou is actively exploring effective ways to promote the transformation from green mountains and green hills to Jinshan Yinshan.
Most of the area around Taihu Lake in Wuzhong District is located in the ecological red line, and its industrial development is limited. As early as 2065438+April 2004, Suzhou promulgated the first local regulations on ecological compensation in China. The Regulations on Eco-environmental Compensation compensates areas that are responsible for eco-environmental protection and whose economic development is restricted by financial transfer payments. The scope of compensation includes paddy fields, ecological public welfare forests, important wetlands, centralized drinking water source protection areas and scenic spots. By the end of 20 19, the city has invested 51600,000 yuan in ecological compensation funds.
Despite the policy and financial support such as ecological compensation mechanism, the development of first-tier villages and towns around Taihu Lake such as Jinting, Guangfu, Xiangshan Street and dongshan town still lags behind. How to take the road of high-quality development around Taihu Lake?
In view of a large number of inefficient construction land and the water surface of pits and ponds left over from history, Wuzhong District encourages the area around Taihu Lake to vigorously promote land reclamation, ecological restoration and high-standard farmland construction by using policies such as increasing or decreasing the hook, balancing occupation and compensation, and "three advantages and three guarantees". The vacated construction space and land use indicators will be transferred to key development areas in the region with compensation, and the construction will be "subtracted" in exchange for "addition" of ecology and benefits.
"In Jinting alone, it is estimated that the land income generated by' addition and subtraction' will reach 65.438+0.5 billion yuan to 2 billion yuan within three years, and part of it will be invested in the district industrial fund." Wang Yinping, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Xishan Agricultural Park, said that in the second half of last year, the town received the first investment income of more than 7 million yuan from the fund, which was used to reward the village-level collective economy and further improve land efficiency. In the next step, Jinting Town will implement ecological management projects such as the ecological security buffer zone in Xiawan and the improvement of ecological conservation in Shigong Peninsula on the basis of the ecological "addition and subtraction" around Taihu Lake.
Green mountains and green waters attract tourists. Dongshan town has built an e-commerce industrial park for agricultural products to open up markets for local fruits. In 20 19, Dongshan loquat sold 2.55 million Jin online, accounting for 3 1% of the total output, and the online sales of agricultural products in the whole town reached 200 million yuan, which greatly promoted farmers' income. The function of "self-hematopoiesis" in the area around Taihu Lake has been continuously enhanced.
