How to get to Songshan Road in the Development Zone?

Zhengzhou is known as "the city pulled out by a locomotive". Most of the current residents or their ancestors are road builders who came to Henan from other places. Zhengzhou's population structure, business characteristics, industrial structure, etc., are similar to this kind of city. The formation of history has a lot to do with it.

The statement that Zhengzhou is the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty is consistent with historical facts, but it has nothing to do with the characteristics of Zhengzhou city. Any guest traveling to Zhengzhou will not feel the Shang Dynasty cultural atmosphere.

If you want to know more, here is a text I wrote in 2004 for the new look of Zhengzhou city:

The preliminary work of the 107 comprehensive renovation was carried out in an orderly manner, and the planning, design, bidding and landscape design work were completed, laying the foundation for the large-scale construction of Zhengzhou's Century Landscape Avenue in 2005.

(2) Focusing on key points and laying a solid foundation, the three construction and four industries have strong development momentum.

First, the construction industry has made new progress in both industry and industry. Throughout the year, enterprises above designated size completed a construction output value of 16.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3%; there were 2,167 projects under construction and 1,371 newly started projects; 26 high-quality structural projects were created throughout the year, 18 "Shangding Cup" engineering awards, 9 The "Zhongzhou Cup" engineering awards account for about 10% of the total number of awards in the province. The safety compliance rate of urban construction sites is 100%, the excellent and good rate is 43%, and the civilized construction excellent rate is 35%. There are 102 municipal-level civilized construction sites, 112 municipal-level safe and civilized standardized construction sites, and 68 provincial-level civilized construction sites. Substantial progress has been made in the comprehensive improvement of suspended and delayed construction projects, which has improved the appearance of the city and maintained the image of the city.

The second is to seize the market development opportunities and the real estate industry develops steadily. In 2004, the number of real estate development companies in the city increased to 624, with 66 newly started projects, 232 projects under construction, and 43 completed projects that year.

The third is to adapt to the situation, innovate and develop, and the building materials industry has achieved new results. Bulk cement shows rapid development momentum. This year, the city has promoted the use of bulk cement of 2.86 million tons, a net increase of 580,000 tons over the same period last year, completing 110% of the annual plan (2.6 million tons), achieving the goal of Zhengzhou's "Tenth Five-Year Plan" for the development of bulk cement one year ahead of schedule, and ranking above the provincial capital in the country. Top ten cities in terms of sales volume. There is a new situation in building energy conservation and wall renovation work. The output of new materials is 2.427 billion standard bricks, a year-on-year increase of 56.5%. New wall material products basically meet market demand.

The fourth is to strengthen supervision and standardize the market, and the survey and design industry has achieved new breakthroughs. The number of engineering survey contracts completed throughout the year was 1,438, with a contract value of 385 million yuan; the number of engineering design contracts was 3,586, with a contract value of 980 million yuan. Market behavior has been standardized, qualification management has been strengthened, and industry self-discipline has been strengthened.

Four large enterprises, including Zhongxun Post and Telecommunications Consulting and Design Institute, have entered the top 100 in comprehensive survey and design strength in the country.

(3) The construction of small towns is based on one point, and multiple points are blooming

First, with improved policies and regional linkage, the construction of satellite cities and small towns has taken on a new look. Actively connect with the provincial urban system planning, scientific planning, rational layout, based on the existing 7 satellite cities and 25 key towns, and closely integrate the development of township enterprises and rural service industries with accelerating the urbanization process. At the same time, we will improve the planning level of Zhengzhou's small towns, guide the rational and orderly flow of rural labor, strive to eliminate institutional and policy obstacles that are not conducive to urbanization development, improve service functions, improve the living environment, pay attention to protecting natural resources and scenic spots, and develop an efficient ecology. Agriculture and leisure tourism have given full play to the role of key towns and demonstration towns.

The second is model demonstration, driven by industry, and the construction of key towns will reach a new level every year. In accordance with the requirements of "simultaneous development of three heads, highlighting key points and coordinated development", 20 key towns will be focused on, funds and policies will be tilted to accelerate the development of key towns. At present, Zhengzhou has one national rural urbanization pilot city, four provincial urbanization pilot cities, one provincial urban-rural integrated planning and construction pilot area, 9 national-level key towns, 15 provincial-level key towns, and a national ecological balance demonstration 1 district (Longhu Town), 1 national sustainable development pilot zone (Zhulin Town), and 1 United Nations Human Settlements Environment Model Award (Zhulin Town). The area of ??the 25 key towns increased from 68.1km2 in 2003 to 81km2 in 2004; the town population reached 680,000; the GDP reached more than 20 billion yuan.

(4) Administer construction in accordance with the law, optimize the environment, standardize industry development, and promote industry progress

First, use the promulgation and implementation of the Administrative Licensing Law as a carrier to gradually deepen the work of governing construction in accordance with the law . Throughout the year, combined with the implementation of the "Fourth Five-Year Plan" legal popularization work, various forms were adopted to actively study, implement and publicize the "Administrative Licensing Law". At the same time, we further carried out the work of sorting out administrative licensing regulations, projects and implementation entities, and combined with the actual construction work, 12 supporting systems covering 4 aspects have been formulated.

The second is to increase inspections and penalties to promote market regulation. The speed of investigation and punishment of illegal projects has been accelerated, and the whole process and all-round supervision and management have been implemented. *** Supervised 2,280 construction projects under construction, covering an area of ??8.12 million square meters and a project cost of 6 billion yuan; 63 cases of various types were filed and investigated. Through law enforcement and investigation, we can avoid going through formalities while constructing and evading punishment, and curb the occurrence of multiple major accidents.

The third is to increase the standardization and rectification of bidding and build an "open, fair and just" construction market. The management, supervision system and operating rules of the physical construction market have been further improved, the bidding process and the management of bidding agencies have been strengthened, the development and improvement of computer management programs for the physical construction market have been accelerated, and the online operation of construction project admission transaction procedures has been provided. Scientific and reliable basis. The bidding rate for projects that should be tendered should reach 100%, and the public bidding rate should be 100%.

(5) Deepen various reforms and enhance the vitality of construction development

First, further deepen the reform of state-owned construction enterprises. The reform of the property rights system of the Zhengzhou construction system and its affiliated enterprises has been comprehensively promoted. Five enterprises have entered the formulation stage of restructuring plans, completed asset audits and evaluations, and two enterprises were successfully transformed. Among them, Zhengzhou No. 1 Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. was officially established on July 1, 2004, becoming the first state-owned construction enterprise with first-level qualifications in Zhengzhou to achieve the identity replacement of employees and the withdrawal of all state-owned assets through joint-stock system reform.

The second is to vigorously promote the reform of the survey and design system. In accordance with the principle of “one institute, one policy, and classified guidance”, we further promoted the transformation of survey and design units into technology-based enterprises, and accelerated the reform process of the property rights system of commissioned survey and design units.

(6) Adhere to two-pronged approach to promote the construction of systematic spiritual civilization

The work of building party style and clean government has gradually deepened. The city's construction system conscientiously implements the ten prohibitions, vigorously promotes the disclosure of administrative affairs, and improves the anti-corruption capabilities of cadres and workers throughout the system. Focusing on leadership at work, in accordance with the principle of "the top leader has overall responsibility, whoever is in charge is responsible", the goals are broken down layer by layer, and responsibilities are implemented in place, building a unified management pattern.

Coordination has been emphasized in management, and great progress has been made in rectification work focusing on rectifying and standardizing the order of the construction market, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of demolished persons, and solving problems such as arrears of project payments. Supervision should be carried out to supervise, clean up and correct violations of regulations and disciplines, so that the provisions on party style and clean government construction and integrity and self-discipline can be effectively implemented. Focusing on rectification during implementation, we continuously improved the staff's service awareness and work quality based on the results of democratic appraisal practices, and improved the overall image of the Construction Committee.

3) Zhengdong New District

Zhengdong New District is located in the east of Zhengzhou City, the capital of Henan Province. New urban areas invested in the development and construction of new urban areas based on the framework of a large city, the strategy of expanding urban scale, accelerating urbanization and urban modernization. The area starts from the relocated Zhengzhou Airport and uses the National Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone as its industrial support. It starts from National Highway 107 in the west, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the east, Airport Expressway in the south, and Lianhuo Expressway in the north. The total planned area in the first phase is about 150km2, which is equivalent to the size of the current urban area of ??Zhengzhou City (the built-up area is 132km2, the urban permanent population is 2.6 million people), and will be completed in the next 20-30 years. As the leading project in Henan Province to accelerate the urbanization process, the development and construction of Zhengdong New Area has been included in the daily work of the Henan Provincial Government as a key project.

According to the completed master plan, the original airport area of ??Zhengzhou City is planned as the Central Business District (CBD), and the 25km2 surrounding the CBD is the key development and construction area in the near future (the starting area of ??the new district). A business link connecting the old and new urban areas will be formed here. , tourism development axis. The starting area is about 25km2 and will be connected to the existing urban area through subway and urban light rail. It is not only the core of Zhengdong New District, but also the core of Zhengzhou City in the future. The starting area will be based on the regenerative city and the metabolic city to form a new urban area with the Central Plains culture and natural environment as the background, integrating office, scientific research, education, culture, commerce, residence and other functions. The CBD has a total land area of ??about 2km2, and is planned to include the "Zhengzhou International Conference and Exhibition Center", the "Henan Art Center", a five-star hotel - the New Zhengzhou Hotel and 60 high-rise buildings. Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center has a total construction area of ??300,000 m2 and is constructed according to the standards of large-scale international convention and exhibition centers; Henan Art Center, with a construction area of ??30,000 m2 in the first phase, is equipped with a 3,000-seat theater, film and television center, art museum, art gallery, and concert hall. , rehearsal hall, etc.; New Zhengzhou Hospital, with a construction area of ??20,000 to 30,000 m2, according to international standard hospital planning, 300 beds; New Zhengzhou Hotel, with a construction area of ??80,000 to 100,000 m2, 700 guest rooms, according to international five-star hotel planning , others include 20-26 high-rise buildings such as Financial Building, Yuhong Building, Shenma Building, China Great Wall Aluminum Group Headquarters, Labor Building, Zhengzhou Radio and Television Building, etc.

The new planning plan of Zhengdong New District determines that in the north of the CBD, the current pond land will be excavated into a sizable artificial lake - Long Lake, to connect the Jinshui River, Dongfeng Canal and other water systems running through the urban area As a link, it connects Long Lake with the CBD of the new district and becomes the main landscape of the new district; the water surface area of ??Long Lake is about 7km2, which is equivalent to the area of ??West Lake in Hangzhou. After the lake is dug in 2003, the clarified Yellow River water will be introduced. As the sub-center of the CBD, the area around Longhu is planned to be an international tourist resort, cultural education and high-end residential area.

The blueprint for Zhengdong New District has been drawn up, and the future is bright. Adhere to high starting point planning, high-level management, and high-standard construction, and strive to build Zhengdong New District into a modern new city with complete facilities, advanced functions, scientific management, and elegant environment. It will be the future central area of ??Zhengzhou and showcase the reform and opening up of Henan and Zhengzhou in the new century. New image window. At present, the Zhengdong New District Management Committee is making every effort to promote the construction of infrastructure, convention and exhibition centers, art centers and other projects in the starting area, striving to achieve the short-term goal of "building an image in three years and scaling up in five years." A modern new city will be built in Zhengzhou City The eastern part of the district rises.

Long Lake: Long Lake is the highlight of the entire plan, with a planned water area of ??about 6km2. According to the legend about dragons in Central Plains culture and the shape of the lake, it was named Long Lake. This area was historically a swamp, low-lying and filled with water all year round. Now it is mostly fish ponds. Longhu District and the Jinshui River, Xiong'er River, Qili River, Jialu River, Dongfeng Canal, etc. that flow through the old city form a complete urban ecological water system. According to the special planning of the water system, Long Lake is formed using the Yellow River water, Jialu River water and abundant groundwater introduced by Dongfeng Canal.

The lake area undergoes water circulation four times a year, and its water quality can meet the national landscape and entertainment Class B standards. The lake area's circulating drainage is used for industrial water and agricultural irrigation in Zhengdong New District.

Longhu
