Will Guang 'an merge into Chongqing?

Yes, Guang 'an in Sichuan was included in the development plan of Chongqing metropolitan area, making Guang 'an the first prefecture-level city in China to be included in the inter-provincial metropolitan area. On September 7th, Chongqing held a press conference to interpret the development plan of Chongqing metropolitan area, saying that Guang 'an, together with Chongqing New Town 12, will form a broader development space and a thicker development hinterland of Chongqing metropolitan area.

The governments of Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality issued the Development Plan of Chongqing Metropolitan Area (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), and Guang 'an, Sichuan Province was included in the plan, which made Guang 'an the first prefecture-level city in China to be included in the inter-provincial metropolitan area.

Among them, Guang 'an planning is positioned as the northern sub-center of Chongqing metropolitan area, accelerating the urbanization development with the central city of Chongqing.

Why is Guang 'an included in Chongqing metropolitan area? There is no doubt that this is the result of deepening the construction of the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing area. "In the long run, Guang 'an has accepted the radiation from Chongqing's megacities. The development of central cities in Guang 'an and Chongqing has innate conditions and development foundations. " Zhang Wei, executive deputy mayor of Guang 'an Municipal People's Government of Sichuan Province, said that Guang 'an is the nearest prefecture-level city in Sichuan from the central city of Chongqing in terms of spatial distance. In terms of economic integration, 50% of Guang 'an industries support Chongqing, 60% of tourists come from Chongqing, and more than 70% of agricultural and sideline products are sold to Chongqing. Every year, a large number of people buy houses, go to school and seek medical treatment in Chongqing. Guang' an folks even have the image of "big cars running in Chongqing and small cars running in Chengdu".

The plan also made a special plan for the development of the Sichuan-Chongqing Gaozhu New District, which is located at the junction of Guang 'an in Sichuan and Yubei in Chongqing. It is required that Sichuan-Chongqing Gaozhu New District and Heguangchang Collaborative Development Zone take the lead in exploring the reform of moderate separation of economic zones and administrative zones, and promote substantive breakthroughs in overall planning, policy coordination, collaborative innovation and * * * construction.

Sichuan-Chongqing Gaozhu New District was established with the approval of the two provincial governments in June, 2020, and it is also the only inter-provincial new district in China. Since its establishment, various planning and construction projects in Gaozhu New District have been fully rolled out, 38 new investment projects have landed in an orderly manner, and major projects such as Sichuan-Chongqing Science and Technology Innovation Base and the third phase of Nanbei Avenue have been accelerated, and development and construction have started well.

Zhu Jiang, deputy director of Chongqing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that the next step will focus on promoting the "dual-core" linkage and "double-circle" interaction between Chongqing metropolitan area and Chengdu metropolitan area. Accelerate the expansion of Chongqing to the west and Chengdu to the east, coordinate and guide the non-core functions of central cities of Chongqing and Chengdu along the main axis of Chengdu and Chongqing, and promote the development of Chongqing metropolitan area and Chengdu metropolitan area.
