I think I'm still a bit qualified to talk about this issue: I'm from Xuzhou, 98 years in Nanjing, Nanjing University, 02 years to Zhenjiang work and life so far (my father is Jiangsu University (former Zhenjiang Agricultural College) graduates), Yangzhou rarely go (but my mom is Yangzhou University (former Nanjing Agricultural University Animal Husbandry College) graduates), which also explains some of the problems.
My feeling after all these years is that there is no special connection between these 3 places.
First of all, education.
First of all, education. When I went to college, the school with the lowest number of students by household registration was Zhenjiang. My wife is my classmate, Zhenjiang people, her own statistics even Danyang Jurong, including only 4 people. Of course, the total number of students in my school was relatively small, but this ratio is really too low. My wife said that Zhenjiang people prefer to go to local universities and Shanghai universities, and have no idea about going to Nanjing for college. (Two days ago, I went to Jiangsu University and saw the honor roll of Jingjiang College's success in this year's exams, more than 40 people in the exams to Nanjing, but only 2 people)
That year, there was little concern about Yangzhou students, but in terms of their own familiar classmates, there is only Baoying 1 person downtown 1 person, the ratio is not high.
From this we can see that around 2000, at least in our school, we did not feel that NingZhenYang had any special feelings and connections.
Secondly, let's talk about real estate. I have a lot of relatives, teachers, classmates, and colleagues in the same system in Nanjing, and I probably know at least a few dozens of people, but none of them bought a house in Zhenjiang (Zhenjiang people working in Nanjing do not count). The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this.
Third, talk about work. I can only talk about the system. Although very close to Nanjing, but we obviously feel that Zhenjiang is not treated by Nanjing, a variety of activities are rarely carried out in Zhenjiang, the leadership to less, the same level of mutual contact, and praise less, criticize more.
Fourth, talk about daily life. There is no doubt that Nanjing still has the advantage of being the capital of the province. Zhenjiang people see the doctor, in addition to Shanghai, Nanjing is the favorite to go. For example, parents love Nanjing Children's Hospital, the provincial people's hospital is also very popular. Xinjiekou and Hunan Road have also left many Zhenjiang people shopping. But in the past few years, Zhenjiang commercial complex opened a lot, I do not know if there is a shopping tide back.
Zhenjiang Wanda, occasionally see Yangzhou license plate.
Fifth, talk about transportation. Intercity Railway Zhenjiang station, Yangzhou people are really many. Yangzhou people go to Nanjing and Shanghai, most of them have to go Runyang Bridge, so Yangzhou media is very concerned about the construction of the river crossing, even the town railroad and other news is usually their first report, and Zhenjiang is less enthusiastic.
There are a lot of people in Zhenjiang who fly to Lukou Airport. But I don't have the information to know which is Zhenjiang's favorite, Hongqiao or Lukou. But for sure, very few people go to Yangzhou Taizhou airport.
Finally, let's talk about the public opinion of the three places. I used to love reading the Jiangsu city forums, and I've always read the Mengxi forums, not the Yangzhou ones. I found that Yangzhou Zhenjiang more like to pinch each other, do not see each other, and Nanjing is very beyond, or Zhenjiang Yangzhou basically not in his line of sight. It can be said that the three places do not have much affection.
Finally, to summarize my opinion - all successful urban integration is not because of a piece of paper administrative order. Shanghai Suzhou, Pearl River Delta city cluster, mainly economic reasons for the spontaneous formation of its endogenous momentum. And what about Ningzhen-Yangzhou? Frankly, I don't see it.
PS: The fact that so few people answered this question is in itself a sign that no one is paying attention. So everyone is still dispersed...
Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province, there are unique conditions to Nanjing as the center of the development of the metropolitan area outward is the direction of the development of the future metropolitan economy...
Ningzhen-Yangzhou integration is the first regional co-citizenship development plan in Jiangsu Province, the scope of the co-citizenship of Ningzhen-Yangzhou is Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou three cities in the whole area, an area of 17,000 square kilometers, within the scope of Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou three prefecture-level cities (17 municipal districts), Gaoyou, Yizheng, Danyang, Yangzhong, Jurong five county-level cities, Baoying one county.
While Yangzhou is blessed with tourism resources and convenient transportation, Zhenjiang is also close to the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou economic belt.
From the level of national strategic heights, the Ningzhen-Yangzhou plate is at the intersection of several national strategies such as Yangtze River Delta integration, Jiangsu Yangtze River Economic Belt, Jiangsu coastal area development and the development strategy of the national-level Nanjing Jiangbei New Area.
Because of the above reasons, I am optimistic about it!
Currently shouting "NingZhenYang integration" the loudest is Nanjing, and Zhenjiang and Yangzhou are showing no attitude, because both Zhenjiang or Yangzhou more or closer to Shanghai, by plane Hongqiao, Pudong airport frequency more and cheaper, Nanjing Luhua airport rather than in Nanjing in Anhui, I have never seen any province to put their own masters, but I think that the most important thing is that they have a good understanding of the situation, so I will not be able to do so. I've never seen any province build its main airport near a remote provincial border. Shanghai's hospitals are more technologically advanced, and shopping is naturally more selective in Shanghai. Only Nanjing in the past few years by the "Su Xi-Chang" forced a little breathless to the boss position is in jeopardy, before Nanjing has been pulling a group of Anhui's little brother to play, but unfortunately Anhui's little brother is too weak to become the climate. Now count on in turn pull Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, two big GDP to grow their own helplessly, after many years of old and dead, both Zhenjiang or Yangzhou on Nanjing has long been no sense of belonging, "Ningzhen-Yangzhou integration" is more just wishful thinking in Nanjing! In the future, perhaps the road will realize the integration, but the economy can really realize the integration, I am not optimistic!
I am Yangzhou people, first of all, Ning Zhenyang integration is not optimistic about the surely Zhenjiang and Nanjing people, because Ning Zhenyang integration of the most beneficial is certainly Yangzhou, Yangzhou's economic level has been in Jiangsu counted in the middle of the day, Yangzhou people's days are with the type of peace of mind, Yangzhou, very few listed companies.
This integration, Yangzhou's geographic location is very advantageous, next to Nanjing and Hefei, Zhenjiang what ah! Danyang people never say they are Zhenjiang people, say they are Changzhou people.
Yangzhou is a large area, flat terrain, good environment, if the integration, Yangzhou's labor force is certainly greatly increased, no matter how many billions of dollars to support the human choice of living environment is certainly an active choice, no matter how much money you spend to support the Great Northwest is useless.
Why Yangzhou so many years did not receive much support is still developing quite well, the geographic advantage of chanting. I went to Nanjing once a year and found that the development is not like that. The population density is a bit too high, and there is almost no farmland.
It is a pity that the city, Nanjing to develop, heavy industry to move out, but as the provincial government is impossible to move to the provinces such as Hefei, only to move to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, then Yangzhou is always the first choice.
But as the people, I have to say, in the end, how much I can benefit I can not say.
I'm from Zhejiang, and I like to focus on the future development strategies of big cities. I think Nanjing's city map, 10 years later will incorporate Zhenjiang Yangzhou; 20 years later will incorporate Maanshan Chuzhou. By then, it will be the real big Nanjing. Similarly, Hangzhou's future will incorporate Jiaxing Huzhou Shaoxing, but Jiaxing's Pinghu Jiashan will be incorporated into Shanghai
It's not bullish or not bullish, but Jiangsu Province must speed up the merger of Ningzhen, or else in the future competition for the country's central city, Jiangsu will be a complete failure! Nanjing to the smallest area in the provincial capital city and less population, but created a trillion dollars of total value and second only to Guangzhou's per capita results, but can not help other provinces to raise the province's efforts to do big capital city, such as a look at the GDP backward, on the annexation of neighboring cities Chengdu, such as the direct splitting of a prefecture-level city of Chaohu merged with Hefei's Anhui Province
Nanjing to really have a big action, "Ning Zhenyang", "the" and "Yang" are the most important thing to do. "NingZhenYang" integration is not the first choice, only will Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou for the merger of the three cities, become a "big Nanjing", is to play the role of Nanjing's center city and "primacy" of the best choice. The best choice, in addition to Nanjing's administrative area in the country's capital cities ranked second to last, objectively also need to expand. Of course, this involves the adjustment of administrative divisions, the balance of interests of all parties and the resolution of various contradictions, it is very difficult, but as long as the establishment of the goal, and actively strive for, there is nothing can not be. And Ning Zhen Yang three cities merged a total area of 17000 square kilometers, and only and Hangzhou comparable (slightly larger than Hangzhou), the number of people in the 16 million or so, this kind of city volume and scale and some other provincial capital city is about the same as the second after Guangdong, ranked second in the country's economic province's capital, but also is appropriate.
Give someone else a hollow dalop to eat? Let the two cities do two hundred and fifty? Give Ning icing on the cake, a Ning screwed into Jiangnan's northern Jiangsu, the smallest territory, crowded in a corner dry eyes, drinking vinegar? One was a kick in the Slim West Lake choking a bellyful of water? Ning can be like Shanghai and Hangzhou, the neighboring cities look forward to the merger? The two families have a little bit of good Ning to remember it, who does not hate Ning? The first thing you need to do is to ask the twelve cities.
One, I am not very optimistic about the integration of this, because the distance between the three cities is too far, and there is the Yangtze River between the distance, there is a rift valley, which is the fatal part of the integration of the city, there is basically no possibility of integration. We can look at the following map, Nanjing to Zhenjiang is very far, Zhenjiang from Yangzhou, and the Yangtze River, the three straight-line distance are not close. People who have taken the train know that Nanjing station to Zhenjiang station time is very long, 75.7 kilometers, Nanjing to Yangzhou 101 kilometers, because it is far away. And the same is Shanghai, to Kunshan to Suzhou, you take a look at the distance, that is quite quite close ah! So you work in Shanghai, but if you can't afford to buy a house in Shanghai, you can really buy a house in Kunshan, and take the high-speed train to and from work every day. In reality, you will find that there are really people who do this, and the number is not small! Take a look at the distance between these three cities, I personally feel that basically there is no such condition.
Second, Jiangsu Province is a coastal province and China's second largest province of economic development, but Jiangsu Province to the present to there is no national first-tier cities. The provincial capital Nanjing's economy has been under Suzhou, and its degree of economic development is not much higher than that of Zhenjiang and Yangzhou. With a small economy, it lacks the convening power to provide a greater impetus to cities like Zhenjiang and Yangzhou. In general, integration requires a central leading city, but among these three cities, which city as the main city? As I said earlier, Nanjing's economic level is not much higher than that of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. In terms of affluence alone, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are probably even higher than Nanjing in some aspects. So, its prospects for integration are not that good.
Third, if you want to do bigger and stronger Nanjing metropolitan area, then you may need to do a better division of urban planning around Nanjing, including the region, the division of labor of the city, etc., complementary advantages, a clear division of labor, **** with the development. Anhui's Maanshan and Chuzhou two cities known as Nanjing's front garden and back garden, Nanjing, the two sides chanting, the two cities surrounded, then the integration of the metropolis is bound to suffer a great deal, because after all, it is a cross-provincial, different provinces, different cities also have different needs. Nanjing as the capital of Jiangsu Province, in Jiangsu Province, some people say that Nanjing is the capital of Anhui Province, is not unreasonable, there is still a certain truth. To say that the integration, I am more optimistic about the integration of Nanjing Maanshan, after all, the distance between the city is there, Nanjing Maanshan 57.9 kilometers, the integration of the main or look at the spatial distance between the cities. If Maanshan, Chuzhou into the jurisdiction of Nanjing, Nanjing will really be like a fish out of water, Nanjing's development space will be further expanded, it can be said that Nanjing will become China's megacity is not impossible.
Speaking of history and then predicting the future are all bullshit or brush hooliganism.
China will be 7-10 big city clusters in the future. This trend couldn't be more obvious. Nanjing must be one of them, so there's no doubt about it, bullish on this integration. The better jobs in the future will be in these big city clusters.
