From three trips to Xiong ‘an, understand the concept of urban planning and construction advocated by the general secretary
Time: May 10th.
Agenda: General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected and presided over a symposium on promoting the construction of xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality in xiong’an new area, Hebei Province.
As xiong’an new area is near, there are more construction sites and more new buildings. Through the window, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stared at this miraculous new city.
This is the third time that the General Secretary has visited Xiong ‘an in six years, and the transportation has changed. It’s my first time here, or by car. That was in February 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader set off from Zhongnanhai, more than 100 kilometers south, and went to a farmland in Anxin County, Hebei Province for on-the-spot inspection. Going again this time, Fuxing has been flying fast for more than 50 minutes, and Xiong’ an has been integrated into the "one-hour traffic circle of the capital".
Xiong ‘an’s appearance has changed. In the past, she was a regional short board under the "siphon effect" of Beijing and Tianjin. Next to Baiyangdian Lake, planted with crops, ancestors never thought that they would usher in a once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity in the new era and become a hot spot for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and a benchmark for high-quality development.
It has been brewing for a long time and has been waiting for a long time. Anxin, Xiongxian and Rongcheng are surrounded by Baiyangdian, the "Pearl of North China". The new name of this land, Xiong ‘an, was announced to the world in April the year after the first investigation by the General Secretary. Since then, "Millennium Plan, State Affairs" has been written in history.
On the coast of Bohai Sea, on the bank of Taihang Mountain and at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, it is consistent that "the Party Central Committee always gives the greatest hope" in investigation, decision-making, planning, construction, ground breaking and jointing. In the past six years, we have not only witnessed the emergence of the "city of the future" in the new era, but also witnessed the sound of the concept of urban planning and construction advocated by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader.
"Bull’s nose" and "spreading pie" are strategic choices.
Tracing back to the birth of xiong’an new area, we should start with the capital Beijing.
Being too big is one of the "growing pains" in Beijing. When the "ceiling" of "spreading the pie" construction is within reach, pressure and pain points follow. As early as 2014, when investigating in Beijing, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader compared the image of urban construction and development as "you can’t step on watermelon skin and slide wherever you go". "There should be a top-level design and control, and the limit should be set, beyond which you can’t grow any more".
Looking inward, it is difficult to solve the problem; Looking outside, my thoughts suddenly became clear. The general secretary put forward the coordinated development strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to relieve the function of Beijing’s non-capital, which was full of vitality.
Whether it is "seeking a territory from the overall situation" or "blocking it is better than sparse", the Chinese civilization with a long history has a new vitality in the new era. The general secretary described "relieving the function of Beijing’s non-capital" as "moving a surgical operation" and "breaking the mindset of circling on one acre and three points".
Another problem has followed, and it is relieved outward. Where is the bearing place? Not too far, not too close, many factors are weighed and compared, so xiong’an new area came into being.
The bearing place is the reason for the birth of the new district and the initial heart of the Millennium plan and national affairs. "To link up with Beijing’s non-capital function transfer, we must keep this initial intention in mind." The general secretary told me.
The country is big and the party is big. On the land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee is like an armband. In Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, with a population of more than 100 million and a land area of 216,000 square kilometers, it is a common responsibility and a common future to nurture a new area with unlimited possibilities.
Spread the map, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei "different petals, but concentric petals." A picture, a chess game, a strong momentum, the power is cooperating, and the future is also cooperating.
From a collaborative perspective, go to see the general secretary’s investigation in Xiong’ an. At the construction site of Xiong ‘an Intercity Station and International Trade Center Project, he watched the sand table and boarded the platform. On the construction site in full swing, the headquarters of central enterprises in Beijing and the second-and third-tier subsidiaries are being built.
"World vision, international standards, China characteristics, high-point positioning" is a modern new city, but also a new road to the future, branded with the essential features of Chinese modernization.
When the general secretary talked about Xiong’ an at the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting in February 2018, he described the imprint of a city:
"The establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the early days of reform and opening up has created the speed of Shenzhen. Today, 40 years later, we set up xiong’an new area to aim at 2035 and the middle of this century ‘ Two steps ’ The goal of creating ‘ Xiong ‘an Quality ’ It has become a national model in promoting high-quality development. "
"Fast" and "Slow" are the visions in a blueprint.
A thousand-year plan is an extraordinary pen.
The second time I went to Xiong’ an was in January 2019. General Secretary of Supreme Leader made an in-depth investigation of xiong’an new area Planning Exhibition Center.
This fertile ground for sowing hope, after the thunder two years ago, has been brewing the power that affects the future: planning.
Lay the chessboard first, then move it. "I have said many times that planning is the first thing to look at when investigating a city. Planning science is the biggest benefit, planning mistakes are the biggest waste, and planning toss is the biggest taboo."
At the beginning of the establishment of the new district, facing the urgent expectation of the outside world for a new city from the flat, where to go? Behind the choice is foresight and determination. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader solemnly warned: "xiong’an new area will be our historical legacy for future generations" and "Plan every inch of land clearly before starting construction, and don’t leave historical regrets".
In two years, the plan has been polished repeatedly, and how many times it has been placed on the desk of Zhongnanhai. One foot, one inch, one stroke, one painting, the male who sinks down slowly and steadily.
"In the past two years, almost no bricks and tiles have been moved. Now that there is a blueprint, Xiong’ an has shifted from the top-level design stage to the substantive construction stage, and this year may be a hot situation. " The General Secretary’s second trip to Xiong ‘an clearly marked the development rhythm of Xiong ‘an.
Fast or slow? In a strategic vision more than 30 years ago, we can see the general secretary’s consistent concept of urban work. Today, we are standing at the source of creating the future. At that time, the supreme leader comrade wrote in the preface of "Fuzhou’s 20-year economic and social development strategy".
Time has recorded the rapid development under slow planning. In 2021, when he visited Fuzhou, the general secretary said with emotion: "The current construction is in line with this direction, consistent with our vision at that time, and it has developed better than our vision."
"I have never seen such a plan for a city." "I have never seen the above ground, underground, ‘ Cloud ’ On ‘ Tri-cities ’ Integrated planning and construction "… … Slow and steady, and seize the day. Xiong’an new area has taken a development path that no one has taken in human history, and expanded the development space of Chinese modernization.
Chinese modernization is a modernization with a huge population. When hundreds of millions of people flood into cities and towns, the concept of intensive land use is bound to run through the planning and design. This survey looked at the construction of Xiong ‘an Intercity Station, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned the traffic problem, which is one of the "big city diseases": "We should work hard to build a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network, make full use of underground space, and strive to build a city without ‘ Urban disease ’ The city of the future. "
From the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which emphasized "planning from a high starting point and building xiong’an new area with high standards" to "building xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality", Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, who joined the Party, went through the time sequence and drew a blueprint to the end.
During this trip, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader continued to emphasize that the high-standard urban planning blueprint should be truly turned into a high-quality realistic picture of urban development.
"Water" and "City" are harmonious symbiosis in a picture.
The general secretary is concerned about Baiyangdian.
The first time he went to Xiong ‘an, he went to see Baiyangdian. At the bottom of the nine rivers, water and rhyme are in harmony. The Supreme Leader General Secretary said: "When I was a child, I read the story of Zhang Ga, a soldier, and I was very fascinated here." The second time, the general secretary asked about the recent situation of Baiyangdian in the planning and exhibition center, and he was very concerned.
This time, before presiding over the symposium on promoting xiong’an new area’s construction with high standards and high quality, the General Secretary took the time to watch a short video of Baiyangdian. The progress of dredging and connecting hundreds of lakes is in my heart.
Water and city, a necessary question for urban development.
"At that time, the site was chosen here to protect Baiyangdian, not to damage Baiyangdian. The city and the lake should reflect each other and complement each other. " Setting the city by water, the land by water, the people by water, and the production by water are important dimensions for the development of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.
Opening the map of China, the lack of abundant resources in the north and abundant resources in the south is one of the characteristics of water resources distribution in China.
The problem of water shortage was felt when I was young. In February 2014, when listening to the report on the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Supreme Leader General Secretary solemnly warned: "The water shortage problem in North China is already very serious. If we don’t pay attention to protecting the ecological spaces such as forests, lakes and wetlands that conserve water, and continue to overexploit groundwater, the intensity of natural retaliation will be even greater."
Water resources, the hard constraint of development.
At the beginning of the planning and construction of Xiong ‘an, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader repeatedly stressed the need to save water and conserve water sources: "The abundant water resources here are good for building the city, but in retrospect, you should not destroy our water source and our ecological wetland. Pay attention to this aspect because of the city. "
The relationship between "water" and "city" is a mirror of the relationship between man and nature.
Mountains and rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, the elements of natural ecology, determine the resource endowment and location conditions of a place, and determine the regional development space and resource and environmental carrying capacity. "How much soup there is?" General Secretary of the Supreme Leader used this simple sentence to explain that planning and development should be based on reality and adapt to local conditions.
Xiulin, Green Valley and Dianwan form the ecological space skeleton of xiong’an new area’s starting area. Looking at the "forest", when I went to Xiong ‘an for the second time, the Supreme Leader General Secretary drove through the "Millennium Xiulin" to see the growth of trees. Nowadays, young trees are flourishing. Planting trees before building cities has become a new concept in the construction of new districts.
Look at the "city", look up and travel, and the proportion of green transportation in the starting area of the new district accounts for 90%; Building a building, clear green building standards, how much construction waste to reduce and how much energy to save have all become the key to decision-making.
At this symposium, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once again stressed that xiong’an new area should adhere to green and low-carbon development and build itself into a model city with green development.
"New" and "Old" are the pulse inheritance of one article.
Mountains and rivers surround the city, and culture builds the city. The "City of the Future" and the Millennium context complement each other. "Culture is the soul of a city."
Protection and development, transformation and new construction, tradition and modernity are faced by Xiong ‘an in the construction, and thousands of cities are also experiencing it. Behind the priorities, it is also answering the question of "what road to take" in the largest urbanization process in human history.
Old trees don’t move, ancient buildings don’t tear down, and ancient archways don’t move … … In 2018, xiong’an new area launched the special action plan of "Remembering Homesickness".
"The city is a science. It has meridians, pulse and texture like the human body. If you don’t treat it scientifically, it will get sick." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once quoted this sentence by architect Liang Sicheng. History and culture are also the meridian texture of the city.
Open the Planning Outline of xiong’an new area, Hebei Province, and "historical and cultural protection" is a separate section. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that the construction of xiong’an new area should "persist in protecting and carrying forward the excellent Chinese traditional culture and continue the historical context".
"Only by persisting in moving from history to the future and forging ahead from the continuation of national culture, can we do a good job in today’s cause." The wave of urbanization is surging forward, and the balance between "new" and "old" is crucial to the future.
The "old" that I care for is the history and civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years;
The "new" of positive development is a new format, new model, new growth point and new kinetic energy under the tide of the times.
At the symposium on this trip, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned the word "new" many times: "We must fully implement the innovation-driven development strategy, promote the frontier policies and measures of reform and opening up in various fields and forward-looking innovation pilot demonstration projects in Xiong’ an, and strive to build new functions, form a new image, develop new industries, gather new talents, and build new mechanisms to make xiong’an new area an innovative highland and a hot spot for entrepreneurship in the new era."
In Xiong ‘an people’s eyes, the past urban development model was industrialization driving urbanization, while Xiong ‘an was urbanization driving industrialization and informatization.
During this inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader arrived in Xiong ‘an, got off the high-speed train and first looked at Xiong ‘an Station and its Zangang area. The "urban blank space" in front of us has unlimited potential. The general secretary said: "The Zangang area should be built into a high-end high-tech industrial cluster, so that visitors from all walks of life can feel the new modern atmosphere of xiong’an new area as soon as they arrive in Xiong ‘an".
The new atmosphere of modernization, where is "new"?
China has entered a new stage of development. The new development concept is integrated into the blood and bones of Xiong’ an construction.
"First of all, the new district should be forward-looking and leading in the concept of planning and construction." Smart, green and innovative, these bright business cards tell the new story after the new development concept "settled in Xiong’ an".
History and future meet here.
"Jiangshan has been a good guest since ancient times. Who is the Taihang for misty rain?" This eternal question on the tower of Guxiong Prefecture has passed through long years.
"Seeing things" and "seeing people" are the initial intentions of people’s cities.
"City, so Shengmin also." A city has not only reinforced concrete, but also wind and rain, flowers and birds singing, and homes to live in.
This time in Xiong ‘an, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader went to Rongdong District, the first centralized built-up area in the new district: "I have been worried about the relocated people, and I am very pleased to see that everyone has a good life. To build a good xiong’an new area, it is important to link up living and working in peace and contentment, so that the people can live steadily, live safely and have a head start. "
The city of the future is the city of the people.
Xiong’ an has builders, relocated people, entrepreneurs, and "aborigines" who have turned farmers into citizens. As the sun rises and sets, they grow up with Xiong ‘an. The general secretary clearly pointed out: "We are not building a beautiful new city, but just building a new city for the people to live a better life."
"Serving the people wholeheartedly and providing fine urban management and good public services for the people are the focus of urban work, and we can’t see things but people." In December 2015, at the Central City Work Conference, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader deeply thought about the initial heart of the city.
"The concept of making people’s lives more comfortable is integrated into the blood of urban planning and construction and reflected in every detail."
Governing the city, under the "embroidery" effort.
"It is necessary to promptly perceive the worries, worries and worries of community residents and solve them one by one". "Vegetable basket", "rice bag" and "fruit plate", when working in the local area, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put these "small things" of people’s livelihood on his desk as major events.
The essence of modernization is human modernization.
For the people, rely on the people and benefit the people. The "Xiong ‘an Scene" of Chinese modernization takes the people as the center and explores a new path to build a modern city with new development concepts. Foreign media commented that Xiong ‘an is a tangible and vivid model of Chinese modernization.
For thousands of years, China, a rural area, is experiencing the most magnificent changes of human society in the 21st century in the eyes of western scholars, as well as the largest and fastest urbanization process in the world history since the reform and opening up.
New cities, new explorations and new roads are full of thank you sir, with historical patience and infinite vitality.
In just 6 years, I went to Xiong’ an three times. Millennium plans and national events are often in the deep concern of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary.
In just six years, xiong’an new area has gone from scratch, from blueprint to real scene, a future city without "urban diseases", a "people’s city" suitable for business and living in a new era, and a high-level and modern city is springing up.
This is another miracle written on the land of China in the new era.
