Shandong province has a population of more than 100 million. Why can't we turn the whole province into a big star city that attracts people?

What I want to say is that Qingdao, Shandong Province is a famous and distinctive coastal city, and its infrastructure and urban development are obvious to all in the country. Qingdao, with strong economic strength and rich tourism resources, is a mega-city that cannot be ignored. The subject said that Qingdao made it a star city by making the whole province do its best. Which will be bigger!

One hundred million people can feed four big cities. Referring to the Northeast, the population is similar to that of Shandong, but there are four mega cities: Shenyang, Dalian, Harbin and Changchun. Shandong believes that if we want to develop Qingdao, we can't develop Jinan. If we want to develop Jinan, we must seize the resources of the whole province. In fact, if Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai and Weihai can vigorously expand the urban population, attract talents, attract investment from the northeast and northwest, and find universities that can cooperate with each other throughout the country, Shandong can completely develop into four megacities. Shandong, on the other hand, has been severely imprisoned by Confucianism and has been competing with its brother cities. They forget that it is now the competition between Shandong and other cities in China. Let go of the restrictions on settling down, entering schools, investing and setting up factories, and let the government serve enterprises. Then there will be large urban agglomerations like the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta in Shandong Peninsula.

Shandong is a wolf economy, which shows that the economies of cities in the province are relatively balanced. According to the meaning of the topic, why balance? For example, in Sichuan, Hubei and Henan, to develop a big provincial capital economy is to let Shandong retreat! Shandong and Jiangsu are both wolves' economies, and the economies of Shandong and Jiangsu rank high in the country. Sichuan, Hubei and Henan should first develop the provincial capital economy, then promote the regional economy of other prefecture-level cities, do a good job in the provincial capital economy, and then take the pace of wolf economy.

The development of provinces absolutely does not exist to build a star city. The monopoly economic model of provincial capital cities such as Sichuan, Hubei and Henan is intended to give priority to the development of one city and then promote the development of brother cities. It is definitely not a model specially established for monopoly.

Shandong's development model Looking at the top three provinces in China's economy, none of them is the dominant model of provincial capital cities. Shandong and Jiangsu are similar. Basically, all cities in the province work together. Although there are some strengths and weaknesses, there will be no cliff-like gap between first-and second-tier cities. Although Guangdong's development is uneven, there are Gemini stars in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and cities like Foshan and Dongguan are also in the forefront of the country.

The provincial capital is big, but any city with a dominant provincial capital is basically in the central and western regions, such as Zhengzhou, Xi 'an, Wuhan, Changsha, Chengdu and Nanchang. The provinces where these cities are located do not have geographical advantages like Shandong, and the limited resources can only be concentrated in the provincial capital first. Undeniably, at present, Xi, Wuhan, Chengdu and other cities have very competitive advantages in China, but twin cities, where they are located, is far behind.

Disadvantages of the development of big cities When a province's medical care, population, education and other resources are all gathered in one city, it will not only make the city develop into a star, but also bring disadvantages such as large city scale, traffic congestion and soaring housing prices. On the other hand, Shandong's "wolf pack" model shows that each city has its own industry, which can satisfy the employment and residence of the local population to the maximum extent and alleviate the common problems of big cities. This development model is better than one monopoly.

Shandong's future image Of course, star cities do have great advantages in attracting talents, and Shandong is also trying to create a new image of Qingdao and Jinan in order to cope with the future "grabbing war" between provinces. However, while building these two cities, Shandong will never slow down the development of other cities. After all, wolves are Shandong's greatest development advantage, and we must never lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another.

It's not that I can't, it's that I didn't do it. Most central and western provinces, such as Chengdu in Sichuan, Wuhan in Hubei, Changsha in Hunan and Xi 'an in Shaanxi, are implementing the model of developing a city by the whole province, and coastal provinces will basically not adopt this development model.

Some people may think that Guangdong is like this, but in fact, the development of Guangdong is uneven. Guangdong is not "one city is the only one", but "two strong countries compete for hegemony" in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. There are also two strong cities, Foshan and Dongguan. Shandong used to take the road of relatively balanced development and adopted the development model of "wolf economy". Shandong is a big economic province in China, and its development is relatively balanced, so there are more than a dozen top 100 GDP cities in China.

Personally, I don't think Shandong will develop a province-wide strength city in the future, but will build two core cities like Guangdong. This model is more suitable for these provinces in the central and western regions than Shandong. Because Shandong is a big economic province, it is difficult to promote the economic development of the whole province only by building a super city, which is easy to cause the imbalance of the economic development of the whole province. Therefore, the coastal provinces in China are more likely to develop "two strong" or stronger. For example, Guangdong and Zhejiang are the "top two" and Jiangsu is the top three in Suzhou, Nanjing and Wuxi.

In recent years, Shandong's economic development is relatively slow, and the gap with Guangdong and Jiangsu is getting bigger and bigger, and it is in a painful period of transformation. Shandong also intends to improve Jinan's position as the first provincial capital, change the previous relatively balanced development model, and build Jinan and Qingdao into "two strong" to drive the province's economic development. The merger of Jinan and Laiwu is a practical step to build a "strong province". So personally, it is unlikely that Shandong will become a star city with the strength of the whole province in the future.

It is possible and necessary to build a first-class super-large city from population to economic aggregate and economic strength. Jinan is the provincial capital and an aristocratic city, and Qingdao is a coastal city, with the largest total. I think Qingdao should be supported to build a super-large city. Jinan should base itself on the construction of the provincial capital city and not compete with it. Qingdao will drive Jiaodong Circle and Lunan Circle, which is the development of the whole province. Keep pushing, take the lead, it will definitely work!

Judging from the development of cities in recent years, it is not rational to build star cities and super cities. A big city is just a gathering place for human beings, not a place suitable for human habitation. Especially since the epidemic, it is very prominent. Small towns dotted with characteristics are more suitable for future urban construction. I think it is more conducive to the connection and development of cities if several cities are connected by efficient and fast modern urban light rail transit. Connecting the central city with various satellite cities with high-speed, cheap and frequent high-speed transportation will be more powerful, economically prosperous and inhabited by humans. There is no need to build a crowded population and increase population density.

This picture is called hollyhock, which is called Guangguanghua in Dongying dialect. It can be eaten raw when tender, with sweet buds and fried flowers.

It is difficult for coastal provinces to have a super economic center like Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan, but there are generally two centers. For example, Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning, Qingdao and Jinan in Shandong, Nanjing and Suzhou in Jiangsu, Hangzhou and Ningbo in Zhejiang, Fuzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, and Guangzhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong are all dual-center models. Because now is not the era of planned economy, the government can control the economic resources of society. Now it is a market economy, resources will flow freely and be allocated rationally, and the resources that the government can mobilize are relatively limited.

As far as the development effect is concerned, the dual-center model in the eastern coastal provinces is much better than the single-center model in the central and western provinces. The provincial governments in the central and western regions have given provincial capital cities a lot of policy resources, resulting in the phenomenon that the deputy provincial capital is poor and blank. Wuhan and Chengdu have become new first-tier cities in China. These two provinces themselves are not very rich, and they are not comparable to the eastern coastal provinces at all.

(Qingdao)

As far as Shandong is concerned, Jinan, as the capital city, is not ahead in economic development. The whole Shandong Province has formed three economic leaders: Qingdao, Jinan and Yantai. Last year, the GDP of these three cities was 1 174 1 billion yuan, 944.3 billion yuan and 765.3 billion yuan respectively, totaling nearly 2.9 trillion yuan. If Shandong province is as big as Hubei and Sichuan, Jinan's GDP will reach/kloc-0.5 trillion yuan, while other cities' GDP is generally below 300 billion yuan. Then Shandong's economic aggregate will not rank third in the country.

I think that in a province, especially after the economic level reaches a certain level, the balanced development or the wolf pack economic model mentioned above is the best. Although a province like Fujian has not produced such super economic leading cities as Chengdu and Wuhan, its balanced development is the best in the country. Therefore, Fujian Province is generally rich, with Ningde and Fuzhou in the north and Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in the south developing well. Unlike Hubei and Sichuan, except for the provincial capital cities, others are relatively poor.

Only South Korea and Hong Kong have made achievements in Asia, while other countries and regions are just ordinary stars. Shandong Province, which can really build an international star city, needs a lot of talents in this field, people who can sing and dance, movie stars, people with strong economic strength, people who need diversified urban talents, people who need international urban management, and people who need environmental protection and greening. If the above requirements are met, other important cities in Shandong Province are not far from star cities, and perhaps important cities in Shandong Province are really in the near future.

In the era of advanced science and technology, information is fast, transportation is convenient and material is rich. . What are the advantages of big cities?
