Influence of Yangluo Wuhan Xingang Jiangcheng's economic center of gravity possibly moving eastward.

According to the understanding of local resources along the Yangtze River, the mayors of Huanggang and Ezhou also proposed to expand the planning scope of Wuhan New Port, make better use of Yangtze River resources and develop regional economy.

It is understood that the land management departments of the three cities are using this round of land revision to understand the land situation within the planning scope of Wuhan Xingang, so as to put forward suggestions for the revision of land use planning. At the same time, the land planning of the three places will be realized, which will be connected with the comprehensive planning of the Yangtze River basin, flood control planning, waterway development planning, environmental protection planning and urban development planning.

Affect the economic center of Jiangcheng or move eastward.

Water, which has long been regarded as a menace, has become a new carrier for Hubei to revitalize its economy and promote the rise of central China.

With the goal of "100 million tons of ports and 10 million TEUs", Hubei will draw up a brand-new plan spanning Wuhan, Ezhou and Huanggang, and build Wuhan New Port, the largest inland shipping terminal in China.

This "Big Mac" new port covers an area of 32.25 million square meters, with 10 port operation area and 190 berths. By 2025, the cargo throughput will reach 654.38+63.6 million tons, and the container throughput will reach 3.5 million TEUs, which will exceed 10 million TEUs in the future. At the same time, the port area plans to lay out the industrial park of "four industrial clusters, two industrial belts along the Yangtze River and four comprehensive logistics centers" and the regional urban system of "one axis, two hearts and four cities", so as to promote industrial and urban development with the port.

Some experts have analyzed that this 80-kilometer-long belt-shaped region will drive the economic development of Hubei and the Yangtze River basin and form a highland for the rise of central China.

As a port city with a long history, Wuhan is born of water, and the thoroughfare of nine provinces is famous for water. People also live in fear of water, and flood control is the top priority every summer. Compared with the development of railways, highways and aviation, the Yangtze River waterway equivalent to 16 Beijing-Guangzhou railway has not been paid enough attention and well utilized. In today's energy shortage and soaring oil prices, the transportation advantages of golden waterway with low energy consumption, low land occupation, low cost and large capacity are prominent.

Different from ordinary ports, the planned Wuhan New Port is not only an important platform to gather production factors and serve the rise of central China, but also an inland river international port to promote the development of international trade in central China, a pilot area to promote the development of port economy and urban agglomeration, and a large-scale comprehensive transportation hub integrating highway, aviation, railway and water transportation.

In the future, Wuhan Xingang will form a new economic growth model with the port as the point and the Yangtze River as the line, which will drive the development of a number of industrial clusters in the central region. Song Yang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee, called it "Chicago+Atlanta".

In the preliminary planning of Wuhan New Port, comprehensive bonded zone, economic development zone, logistics processing zone and other industrial parks will be built along the Yangtze River to vigorously develop the port economy and form industrial clusters such as logistics, steel, chemical industry, energy, shipbuilding, new building materials, photoelectric communication and modern manufacturing.

By 2025, the cargo throughput will reach16.36 million tons, the container throughput will reach 3.5 million TEUs, and it will exceed 10 million TEUs in the future. This is equivalent to at least 5,000 large trucks transporting 6-meter-long standard containers from Wuhan Xingang every day.

Experts believe that this will drive Wuhan's economic center of gravity eastward.

Wuhan's economy is strong in the southwest and weak in the northeast. An important reason is that the traffic situation in southwest China is obviously better than that in northeast China. Before the Yangluo Bridge was opened to traffic, Xinzhou District and Yangluo Development Zone in Wuhan were across the river, but it was difficult to reach them.

The situation has changed fundamentally. After the completion of Yangluo Bridge, the north and south banks of Wuhan Xingang merged into one, and became a part of the "four vertical, five horizontal and ten connecting lines" highway dredging system composed of Wuhan Third Ring Road, Wuhan Ring Expressway, 106 National Highway, Wu-E Expressway, Tangjiadu Yangtze River Bridge and Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway. In terms of railways, Beijing-Kowloon, Wujiu and the railway connecting lines between them form an I-shaped railway network. In the future, we will also plan to build special railway lines in the port area, such as the double track of Yangluo Power Plant, the special railway line from Wujiu Railway to Baihushan Working Area, and the special railway line in Beihu Working Area.

With modern ports as the core, these transportation facilities have promoted the development of WISCO steel deep processing and equipment manufacturing, petrochemical industry and its downstream industries driven by the 800,000-ton ethylene project, textile and garment industry and new building materials industry. , forming a new focus of Wuhan's economy with heavy chemical industry as the mainstay. The government also hopes that port construction will promote the construction of new urban areas, realize the interaction between port and city, accelerate the development of Yangluo New City and Wuhua New City, and form urban agglomerations such as Gehua Port Industry and Trade New City and Tangjiadu Port Logistics New City.
