Why are the main urban areas of Foshan and Dongguan small?

Why are the main urban areas of Foshan and Dongguan small? Let's look at Foshan first. The main city of Foshan is really small, and I feel that I can't find the model of a big city and an economic center. This is mainly because Foshan's township economy and county economy are relatively developed. Foshan is formed by the integration of Shunde, Nanhai, Sanshui, Gaoming and other counties and cities (Chancheng and its surrounding urban areas).

Therefore, these towns are essentially equivalent to small and medium-sized cities in the administrative area of Dongguan and satellite cities near the main city of Dongguan. Many towns in Dongguan have the same population and economic strength as counties in the central and western regions. Therefore, although the population of Dongguan is as high as 8.22 million, the main urban area is not large.

The main urban areas of Foshan and Dongguan are really small. For example, Foshan is not as big as Nanhai and Shunde. Not to mention Dongguan, the size and population of each town exceeds that of a county-level city in the mainland! Its business and prosperous inland county-level cities are also incomparable. I can say one thing. Twenty years ago, the children of my best comrade-in-arms in Hengyang came to work in Guangdong, and my daughter met a local boyfriend in Chang 'an, Dongguan. A year later, they began to determine the relationship, but their parents resolutely opposed it! My daughter couldn't help crying and called me for help. To this end, I went to Dongguan to meet the man and his family. The man is 28 years old, about my height, about 1.75 meters. He is very handsome. He works as a supervisor in a large foreign company and has a good family environment. His brother-in-law is also the leader of Chang 'an Town. I think that person's parents, sister and brother-in-law are very kind to my comrade-in-arms' daughter. They all praised my comrade-in-arms' daughter for being smart, hardworking and virtuous. That night, I called my comrades-in-arms and told them about his daughter's marriage. My comrades-in-arms had no problem with it, but his wife was firmly opposed, saying that her daughter would not be married to Chang 'an people in Dongguan, because Chang 'an was only a rural area. I was angry and scolded my comrade-in-arms' wife. (This comrade-in-arms family is very good with me! ) I scold her, and you say that Chang 'an is a rural area all day, and Hengyang is not as prosperous as Chang 'an! Now my comrades-in-arms couples go to Chang 'an every year after the National Day, and live there for half a year, so my son in Hengyang often calls me to complain that his children want to see their grandparents.

Now the main city of Foshan is not small. The main urban area of Foshan includes Chancheng, Guicheng in Nanhai, Luocun, Lecong and Chencun in Shunde, and is connected by Foshan Metro 1 Line, Foping Road, Guidan Road, Qi Kui Road, Chanxi Avenue, Foshan Avenue and Nanhai Avenue. There is no difference and fault, and outsiders can't feel the difference! Chancheng is well integrated with the South China Sea, which is already seamless, and it is also well integrated with the northern part of Shunde. Changui and Foshan New Town also have a population of 3 million, which is quite a lot!

Split Foshan and let the west bank of the Pearl River dig up quickly.

At present, Guangdong's development is extremely unbalanced. With the rapid development of Pearl River Delta, the development of East and West Guangdong is slow, and siphon phenomenon also occurs from time to time. Even the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta are hierarchical. Guangzhou-Shenzhen Development is fast, Dongguan-Buddha first file, Huizhou-Zhuhai-Zhongshan first file, Jiangmen-Zhaoqing basically disappeared. Overall, the east coast is strong and the shore is weak. The reason is that there is no such big MAC spillover effect in the West Bank.

At present, there is a powerful Foshan in the west bank, but the interior of Foshan is also seriously uneven, so it is difficult to make great development in a short time. Shunde and Nanhai develop well, while Gaoming Sanshui develops slowly, so spatial geography is difficult to get together. It is difficult to coordinate the development of Baoyuan. Shunde and Nanhai, which are developing rapidly, are also bound by administrative relations and land space, so they cannot be sent out.

Based on the past experience, is there any way to solve this dilemma? In recent years, Foshan and Zhongshan have retired a large number of village-level industrial parks. A large number of small and micro enterprises were retired. In fact, a large number of large and medium-sized enterprises are slowly growing up. This shows that there is a strong enterprise cluster and enterprise development space on the west bank of the Pearl River. What is lacking is land resources and supporting policies. We can focus on making the areas with development ability bigger and stronger first, and compare Shunde and the South China Sea.

Split Foshan in two. Together with Nanhai, Chancheng and Sanshui, it was transferred to the Gaoyao and Sihui parts of Zhaoqing. As for New Nanhai City, the planned urban area is located in Yundonghai, and now it forms a dual-core urban area with Guicheng Chancheng City, expanding Sanshui Port, developing into a raw material receiving port and a cargo transshipment port in the upper reaches of the Pearl River, and vigorously developing bioengineering for private enterprises and financial enterprises. Develop rail transit. Prepare to radiate Zhaoqing and float to the northwest of Guangdong. When the area becomes smaller and becomes its own private plot, the whole Nanhai New Town will take off, reaching the height of Foshan in a short time and spilling over to Zhaoqing and Yunfu.

Similarly, Shunde and Gaoming will also move to Heshan, Jiangmen to form a new Shunde city, and there is a new urban area on the north bank of Jiangshun Bridge. The former Shunde District vigorously develops existing industrial clusters, Gaoming develops large enterprises and heavy equipment industries to develop airport economy based on new opportunities, and Heshan develops high-tech industries, such as chips, medicine and high-end real estate.

The expansion of Shunde New Port has now reached 5,000 tons, making it a direct overseas shipping port.

In addition, we will support the development of two new prefecture-level cities, and each city will move into a 2 1 1 level university and a medical college. For the talent construction of two new cities.

In this way, after five to ten years of development, these two newly established prefecture-level cities will become stronger and their industries will overflow the surrounding areas. As a result, the west bank of the Pearl River will become an uninterrupted high-quality urban belt from Zhongshan Xiaolan to Sanshuiyun Donghai. Contribute to the development of Jiangmen, Yunfu and Zhaoqing.

The main city of Foshan is really small, and there is no model of big city and economic center. This is mainly because Foshan's township economy and county economy are relatively developed. Foshan is formed by the integration of Shunde, Nanhai, Sanshui, Gaoming and other counties and cities (Chancheng and its surrounding urban areas).

After the change, the integration between Chancheng District, the original main city of Foshan, and the surrounding areas except Nanhai District is not very good, which leads to faults in the main city and gives people a very small impression of the main city.

Why are the main urban areas of Foshan and Dongguan small?

Looking at Dongguan again, Wanjiang District, Chengnan District, Guancheng District and Dongcheng District in Dongguan are not districts in the usual sense. Dongguan, a prefecture-level city, is very special and directly governs the town. Because of Dongguan's special history and developed town-level economy, these towns and non-traditional areas are equivalent to county-level in Dongguan system.

Therefore, these towns are essentially equivalent to small and medium-sized cities in the administrative area of Dongguan and satellite cities near the main city of Dongguan. Many towns in Dongguan have the same population and economic strength as counties in the central and western regions. Therefore, although the population of Dongguan is as high as 8.22 million, the main urban area is not large.

Why are the main urban areas of Foshan and Dongguan small?

Why are the main urban areas of Foshan and Dongguan small? I think this is caused by the special development mode of the two cities, which blossom everywhere and are quite prosperous at the county and town levels. In the traditional sense, the main city has been dwarfed a lot. There are main cities everywhere, but there are no main cities everywhere.

Foshan and Dongguan are small-scale ordinary prefecture-level cities, so it is normal to go to the main city. Unlike a provincial capital city like Guangzhou, they can become a giant city by constantly annexing neighboring cities.

The old eight districts in Guangzhou are actually very small, but in the past ten years, they have annexed Zengcheng, Conghua, Huadu, Panyu, Nansha and other surrounding prefecture-level cities. The urban land area has expanded countless times, and the population and economic strength have also expanded many times.

Dongguan and Foshan, as prefecture-level cities, are not qualified to annex surrounding cities. Therefore, although their economic strength is good, their land area cannot be expanded indefinitely, and their attraction to migrants is far less than that of big cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Therefore, their main city cannot expand rapidly and can only maintain a small-looking main city.

Both Foshan and Dongguan are multi-group and multi-center development. In these two cities, the private economy is very developed, and the town street manufacturing industry is relatively strong. Each town street has a group, and the built-up area is very scattered, resulting in a small scale of the main city.

Both cities are trillion GDP cities, so it stands to reason that the main city should be a super prosperous metropolis, which should be more shocking than the skyline of many provincial capitals in the central and western regions. Actually, no. Many people will find it incredible. The urban interfaces of these two cities are very general. In addition to the central city, other places are the visual sense of the urban-rural fringe.

However, the wealth of the people in these two cities is unmatched by many provincial capitals. The economy of some towns and streets is stronger than that of some prefecture-level cities.

Therefore, even if these two central cities are not big, it seems that the urban interface is not high. But it is also a good city and a good choice for many young people to find work and life, because making more money is king.

Guancheng corresponds to Chancheng, and Gaoming Sanshui in Shunde, Nanhai corresponds to Dongguan Town. As far as Dongguan is concerned, the towns in Dongguan are fragmented. The experience is that each town's public transportation runs independently, and each town has a relatively independent industry that does not interfere with each other. For example, Humen specializes in clothing, and people who live and work in Humen don't need to go to Guancheng. The population mobility in Dongguan is very low, because you have yours and I have mine, unlike Guangzhou and Shenzhen who work in the urban area. Look at the Dongguan subway and you will know what's going on. A truth about Foshan.

The product of township and private economy, self-financing and self-development! It played an important role in the first half of the reform, but at this stage it seems too scattered, the towns are fragmented and the economic development is too extensive, which is not conducive to the city becoming stronger and bigger. The key is that in the process of economic development, there are too many local tyrants and the city is too fragmented! Especially in the economic downturn, without the protection of leading enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises have poor ability to resist risks, resulting in weak economic growth!

Foshan is too close to Guangzhou.

Looking at Foshan, the main city of Foshan is really small, and I feel that I can't find the model of a big city and an economic center. This is mainly because the Buddha came to see Dongguan again. Wanjiang District, Chengnan District, Guancheng District and Dongcheng District in Dongguan are not in the usual sense. Dongguan, a prefecture-level city, is very special and directly governs the town. Because of Dongguan's special history and developed town-level economy, these towns and non-traditional areas are equivalent to county-level in Dongguan system. At that time, the township economy and county economy were relatively developed, while Foshan was formed by the integration of Shunde, Nanhai, Sanshui, Gaoming and other counties and cities (Chancheng and surrounding main urban areas).
