Not optimistic about it, for the following reasons: Population can be said to be Nanchong's biggest advantage, with more than 7 million people, second in Sichuan.
But the population loss is too serious, and there are too few urban residents. As soon as they talk about settling in the city, they go to Chengdu and Chongqing.
It is too weak to stimulate the local economy!
The location is a bit advantageous, but not outstanding.
Compared with geographical location, Meishan, Deyang and Ziyang, which are close to Chengdu, can still get a certain degree of industrial radiation from Chengdu, especially Ziyang, which is expected to be good in the future, but it is also the prefecture-level city most likely to be annexed by Chengdu and disappear.
The other is Yibin, the junction of four provinces. Although neither end is close, it seems not too far. With the support of Wuliangye, it may be the most promising prefecture-level city in Sichuan.
Finally, there is a younger brother, Suining, which does nothing. It is just right in the middle of Chengdu and Chongqing, with convenient transportation. Its highways and railways are basically the second in Sichuan. This is the real advantage of its geographical location.
In terms of geographical location, Nanchong will definitely rank behind these cities.
Let’s talk about the economy. This is Nanchong’s pain point.
The per capita GDP is just over 30,000, which is basically at the bottom of the province.
In addition, there are no pillar industries, and red tourism is not very good across the country. Even world-famous red tourist areas such as Jinggangshan, Yan'an, and Xibaipo cannot stimulate the economy, let alone Nanchong.
Other industries are not worth mentioning.
The climate in the basin is not considered livable. Summers are too hot and humid, and the comfort level is not good. The population attractiveness is inherently poor.
But anyway, everyone is bad, so it’s not backward at all.
Therefore, if Nanchong wants to develop, it must first retain people.
If you can’t keep anyone, there’s no need to talk about anything else!
From the current point of view, Sichuan has not vigorously developed Nanchong.
The key development city in Sichuan has always been the provincial capital Chengdu.
If we have to say which prefecture-level cities Sichuan has vigorously developed, we can only say that they are Luzhou and Yibin.
Let’s not mention Luzhou, because that happened a few years ago.
Yibin being supported is a matter of the moment, and there are still many things to prove it.
Let’s give two examples.
One is the rapid development of Yibin University Town.
In the context of Sichuan’s university resources, Chengdu is the only one.
It is not easy for the university town of Yibin to develop vigorously.
Famous universities such as Sichuan University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have established branch campuses in Yibin, which is very telling.
The second is the establishment of Yibin Sanjiang New Area.
There are currently only two provincial new districts in Sichuan, one is Chengdu Eastern New District and the other is Yibin Sanjiang New District.
Chengdu, the provincial capital, will not be mentioned for now.
As a prefecture-level city in Sichuan, Yibin’s GDP is still behind Mianyang, so it can take the lead in winning provincial new districts.
It shows that the province should vigorously develop Yibin and expand Yibin’s radiation ability to surrounding areas.
To sum up, there are no signs of Sichuan vigorously developing Nanchong in the short term.
Of course, if the news of the construction of a provincial new district in Nanchong comes to fruition, it will be a huge benefit for Nanchong, and we are looking forward to it.
Sichuan will definitely not develop Nanchong.
Nanchong has all the resources, including water, electricity, mining and labor force, but it just can’t develop. Why?
Because there is Chongqing in the east and Chengdu in the west.
Nanchong is located in the middle of two megacities and is sucked clean.
Talents from various production factors and levels in Nanchong go to Chengdu and Chongqing.
Sichuan's current thinking is to give priority to the development of the Chengdu Plain, and then develop it into the Mianle Economic Belt, and then develop the southern Sichuan urban agglomeration. Nanchong has been marginalized!
The geographical location of Nanchong determines the inevitable conditions for the emergence of a big city: in the middle of the Sichuan Basin, there are no geological disasters, and it is away from the earthquake zone; it is navigable by water transport to Chongqing and Shanghai; and it is located in the triangle of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone;
The distance between the two is about 200 kilometers; thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of "no grass grows under the big trees"; the traffic is also good, and the high-speed railway under planning will also connect Nanchong.
Sichuan vigorously develops Nanchong, which can be formed in the box area to form a southern Chongqing economic triangle, which will better promote the development of Sichuan and Chongqing brother cities! Nanchong's geographical location should be relatively superior, and it is directly connected with Chongqing and Chengdu, the two first-tier cities in the west.
The triangle formed by the city is in a stable development state, so now Chengdu has a slogan to build the second city of Chengdu, and many migrant workers in Nanchong have gone to Chongqing or Chengdu to work, but if they are in Sichuan Province, if they want to get the national
Strong support is actually worth considering. Although Nanchong’s geographical location is relatively superior, its development prospects, prospects and speed of development may not be as good as those of other cities, such as Deyang and Mianyang.
For example, Mianyang is a relatively well-developed city in Sichuan Province. It can be said to be the second largest city in Sichuan Province. Its scientific and educational strength is not only among the best, but also has relatively good scientific and technological strength in Sichuan Province and even in the country. That is
Because it has received strong support from the state in terms of innovation, entrepreneurship and technology, the state’s policy preferences and state financial support are very good. In addition to Mianyang, there are also Deyang and Panzhihua. These cities are all industries with a long history.
When developing cities, some heavy industries or steel industries have been developed in the past. Therefore, if the country wants to strongly support Sichuan Province, in addition to the two cities of Chengdu and Mianyang, I think it may be more suitable for Deyang or Panzhihua.
Rather than Nanchong.
