Luoyang is not among the second-tier cities. What is the reason?

I think there are four main reasons why Luoyang failed to become a second-tier city. First, when Henan province carried out municipal reforms around the 1980s, it was the most unfair to Luoyang. The general reform in the province is basically a simple withdrawal of districts and the establishment of cities, and then the original counties and cities in the region are merged into cities, but Luoyang is "completely dismantled"! The details are as follows: Luoyang area is divided into two parts, and Sanmenxia city is divided, and two cities and four counties are cut out from Luoyang; Dengfeng, a tourist city less than 50 kilometers away from Luoyang, is designated as the icing on the cake for Zhengzhou; Ruzhou City, a strong industrial city, was assigned to Pingdingshan City for "reinforcement". This reform not only caused Luoyang to lose a lot of valuable barren resources, important tourism resources and unique agricultural and forestry resources, but also decomposed Luoyang's original industrial system into pieces, which seriously weakened its industrial capacity and amplified its self-healing cost. Second, the country suffers from "astigmatism" in the concept of "soft power". Luoyang is one of the four holy cities in the world and one of the four ancient capitals in China. It is the center of Heluo culture and the cradle of Chinese civilization. Its international popularity and cultural influence are unmatched by other cities in China. However, for a long time, the country seems to have failed to see the value of this "treasure". In terms of urban positioning, policy guidance and financial support. It basically chose to ignore Luoyang. What is particularly incredible and hard to let go is that it actually allocated Luoyang, a corner of a strong tourist city, to Zhengzhou! Third, due to its own mistakes and "falling behind" in the city competition, Luoyang not only missed the important historical opportunity for China University of Science and Technology to settle in Los Angeles, but also failed to repair and reinforce many industrial "shortcomings" in time, such as the "three turns and one twist" products with strong market demand in the early days of reform and opening up, and the subsequent wave of electronic products, mobile phones, computers, passenger cars and so on. Luoyang almost left a series of gaps. All these have greatly weakened R&D's innovation ability and restrained Luo Yang's promotion in the value chain. Fourthly, Henan Province has long given priority to supporting Zhengzhou as the only city, which has produced a continuous "siphon effect" on Luoyang, making all kinds of indispensable resources in Luoyang continuously gather in Zhengzhou, further widening the gap between the two places. The above is only personal observation and thinking, and it is inevitable that there will be shortcomings. I hope readers can think about it. Why didn't Luoyang rank in the second-tier cities? It doesn't have many big projects entering the market, and its development is slow, its economy is not strong and its attraction is limited. Luoyang has a long history and is a good place to travel. Luoyang Bridge, Baima Temple, Longmen Grottoes and Luoyang Peony are all scenic spots. It is also one of the ancient capitals. These conditions do not need to be shaped, but they are not as good as a new scenic spot. There are not many factories, so jobs can't be created. No one comes, travels and leaves in a few days. I sincerely hope that Luoyang will get better and better. Let's go to Kunshan, Jiangsu. What line city is a county-level city? In 20 19, the fiscal revenue was 40.7 billion in Kunshan and 60 billion in Luoyang. Let's fight it out. The cadres in Luoyang city have already stood still and regarded thousands of years of history as a burden. The cadres in Luoyang talked about two sets of three days and three nights, and the cadres in Kunshan said that attracting investment was the first level in the country! Solid, serious and not grandiose, the city style is obviously different. That's why. Luoyang was called Luoyi in ancient times, and the county was also a city. The level is equivalent to Hu Yi (a county under Xi 'an) and Chaoyi (a township in Weinan, Shaanxi). According to the basic county, Luoyang is absolutely enough to impact the first-tier county. Luoyang has no pillar industry as the first refueling, and the existing enterprises either lose money or lack scale and are not economically attractive; Second, it is difficult to attract young people to stay without good development prospects, and the city is aging seriously; The third superior leader is frequently mobilized, which leads to the failure to connect and implement the urban construction plan; Fourth, there is only one place in Henan for enterprise traffic publicity in recent ten years. As a second city, there is no policy. Never mind, let's make a comfortable town quietly first ... why don't we make a third line firmly? It's ok to rank first in the capital cities of central Africa. Later, our backs became harder, so we squeezed in and opened the Kaifeng for us. Why make that thing into the second line is not only to look at the overall economic strength, but also to screen from all aspects, especially an economic strength in urban areas. Take Taiyuan, Shanxi Province as an example. The overall economic strength is not as strong as Luoyang, but the urban economic strength is stronger than Luoyang. Therefore, Taiyuan's entry into the ranks of second-tier cities is not only a problem in Luoyang, but also in many places north of the Yangtze River. For many reasons, infrastructure, transportation and talents are not good, but the most important thing is that the system is not good, people's ideas are not good, the rule of law and efficiency are not good, and people have invested all their wealth in you. Do you think the relevant departments in the north regard it as fat meat? Too thin to squeeze others [come to me] 1. The geographical location is not superior enough, and the transportation network is not as dense as Zhengzhou. 2. The terrain is mostly hilly and the water resources are not rich enough. 3. Economic development is not supported by the state and the province. 4. The number of permanent residents is not too large, the brain drain of highly educated and sophisticated talents is serious, and the productivity has not improved.
