Qianhai 10, Hengqin 100, Nansha 1000: Why do you need Nansha Airport?

Qianhai, Hengqin and Nansha are all key development areas in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, and they are three important platforms for Guangdong's transformation and upgrading. Businessmen say that there are 10 Qianhai, 100 Hengqin and 1000 Nansha, which is an inductive description of the development area: Qianhai is about 15 square kilometers, so Qianhai is 10; Hengqin covers an area of 86 square kilometers. Of course, the space for reclamation can also be reserved, which can also be regarded as the integration with Macao in the future, so Hengqin is100; Although the administrative division of Nansha District (and Nansha Development Zone) is only 527 square kilometers, after all, all areas south of Guangzhou Shawan Waterway are said to be the Great Nansha in the planning sense, and the planned Nansha is 797 square kilometers (Baidu Encyclopedia says so), nearly 800, so Nansha is said to be several thousand. So as far as the square kilometers of the development zone are concerned, there are about ten in Qianhai, about one hundred in Hengqin and nearly one thousand in Nansha. Therefore, businessmen believe that the task of developing Qianhai and Hengqin during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period is not arduous. As long as the capital comes in and the project is launched, whether it is 15 square kilometers or 86 square kilometers in five years, the basic development will still be 7788, but Nansha is arduous. Although these three plots are wasteland at present, the wasteland in Nansha is much bigger after all. Five years later, perhaps Qianhai has been flooded and Hengqin is thriving. Even though Nansha has developed 150 square kilometers (ten times that of Qianhai), there are still hundreds of square kilometers of wasteland, and a large area next to it is still depressed. Of course, this does not mean that Nansha must be fully developed in the next five years, but we should discuss how to cut the cake, because it is much bigger than the other two. Today, I also read the economic geography of Southern Metropolis Daily and discussed Nansha again, especially when it comes to insufficient visibility. When I graduated, Nansha became an independent district, separated from Panyu District and became an independent administrative district. At that time, citizens and experts were generally full of longing, as if a seaside town would be formed in five to ten years. But now that five years have passed, the town has not yet become a town, and it is far from recreating a new Guangzhou. All the public officials who go to work there live in the city and take the shuttle bus back and forth. This is still the case for five years. Therefore, the population staying to live is a big problem for the development of Nansha. Even though Line 4 was opened early, there were not many people living in the past, which shows the difficulties. The development of Nansha can be described as a high-point positioning, and large enterprises have been introduced, but all large enterprises have a problem, that is, if a factory has thousands of people in a closed factory, production and life do not need to be inside, and it is impossible to form a city block. In the past five years, Luogang and Nansha have no mature central cities and hundreds of thousands of residents, all of which are related to the leading mode of large enterprises. On the contrary, in Xintang, where there are many small businesses, people are surging, more and more like the scene in Guangzhou, so RT Mart and Modern Department Store also came in. The existence of RT Mart and modern department stores proves that population concentration has reached a scale and commercial centers are gradually forming. However, after all, Nansha can no longer take the labor-intensive road that Xintang has taken. Xintang is undergoing transformation and upgrading, developing automobile industry and emerging industries through the platform of national development zones. What's more, Nansha shoulders a far-reaching mission-the gorgeous turn of coastal cities. It's not easy. It is not easy to turn around. The point is that it is not easy to keep millions of people alive. Ten more big projects and twenty big enterprises, it is estimated that it is still very difficult. So what can be done to solve this problem? Personally, I think there is still some, that is, the construction of Nansha Airport, the second airport in Guangzhou. It is best to set aside a piece of land south of Guangzhou South Railway Station (the hub station of Guangzhou high-speed railway) to build an international airport, which is roughly at the junction of Nansha, Panyu and Foshan. Since a new Guangzhou is to be built, it is better to build another Baiyun Airport here. Since we are in Nansha, let's call it Nansha Airport. Of course, the expansion of Baiyun Airport is imminent, including the third runway and the second terminal, because the annual passenger throughput of 40 million will soon become 50 million, and then 60 million. However, if the third runway is completed and the throughput exceeds 60 million, it is better to continue to expand or build an international airport. Personally, I think it is the latter. This aspect is layout consideration, which is also conducive to the rapid development of Nansha. If we continue to assume that Guangzhou Airport will increase the passenger flow by 1 0 million every three years, it will increase from the current 40 million to10 million in less than 20 years. If there are two international airports to undertake this 100 million, Baiyun Airport and Nansha Airport will be diverted and the division of labor will be more reasonable. In terms of air freight, there will also be great room for development. That is to say, if Baiyun Airport wants to expand the fourth and fifth runways after the third runway (for example, Pudong Airport wants to build the fifth runway), it is better to build the fourth and fifth runways in Nansha first to form a new international airport, but at the same time reserve the reserved land for the fourth and fifth runways of Baiyun Airport, because even if there are two international airports in Guangzhou, there is no guarantee that there will not be two airports. If there is an international airport in Nansha with an annual airport throughput of 40 million, plus Nansha Port Passenger Terminal (cruise port) and high-speed railway station, a high-speed railway (Shenmao Line) on the west coast may be 50 million. The formation of such a transportation hub, the promotion of popularity and the gathering of logistics have driven the development of the whole region, and the city has gradually taken shape, rather than the current situation. Although it is said to be the geographical center of the Pearl River Delta, it is only a passing place and will not stop for a while. If you add theme parks like Panyu Changlong and Xiangjiang, plus the film and television city project, there are artificial beaches and so on, it will attract tourists. University projects, commercial projects and industrial projects in cooperation with Hong Kong are all gathering population and attracting the surrounding population to work and settle in Nansha. But all this is inseparable from convenient transportation, and the maximization of the largest infrastructure and supporting facilities is the construction of an international airport. If Nansha Airport is located in the south of Guangzhou South Railway Station, it can be tied with the South Railway Station to form a huge transportation hub.
