The article on the fruit of the tung tree rises from the Pearl River (Inner Mongolia) episode 197
Inner Mongolia is a provincial-level administrative region with a fragile ecological environment in China, but the ecological environment in the eastern and northeastern parts of Inner Mongolia is relatively good, with an annual precipitation of about 200 400 mm, while the annual water volume in the central and western regions is between 50 200 mm, and the annual precipitation in desert and desert areas is only about 50 100 mm.
Therefore, the area of Inner Mongolia that is 2,400 kilometers long from east to west and about 1,700 kilometers wide from north to south is divided into two different natural environment areas, that is, the eastern and northeastern plain areas are primeval forests and hillsThe central part of Inner Mongolia is relatively flat, but precipitation is relatively scarce in most areasThe western part of Inner Mongolia belongs to the Inner Mongolia Plateau, although the grassland is flat and open, but the precipitation is scarce, the climate is dry, and there are many desert areas.
From the distribution map of precipitation in Inner Mongolia, the natural environment in the central and western regions is relatively harsh, and it is also an area with serious desertification in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, or an area with more deserts.
So, is the central and western region of Inner Mongolia suitable for the development of urban economy and urban agglomeration?What are the main cities in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia?
Hohhot City.
Hohhot is a city in central Inner Mongolia, with a permanent population of more than 3.55 million and a gross domestic product (GDP) of 3,329 in 2022100 million yuan, its main economy is cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other animal husbandry;Coal Resources, Manufacturing, Construction;In the financial, commercial and trade service industries, Inner Mongolia is now actively attracting investment and introducing high-tech industries, hoping to build a non-metallic mineral products industry cluster with the silicon material industry as the core, such as monocrystalline silicon and photovoltaic material bases
Baotou City. Baotou is a city in western Inner Mongolia, with a permanent population of 2.74 million and a gross domestic product (GDP) of 3,749 in 2022900 million yuan, the main economy is agriculture and animal husbandry;Metallurgy, rare earth, machinery industry;Transportation, catering services, etc., now Baotou City plans to deepen and expand the rare earth industry, and build a manufacturing industry cluster of new materials and new energy equipment
Ordos City.
Ordos is a city in western Inner Mongolia with a permanent population of 2.2 million and a gross domestic product (GDP) of 5,613 in 2022400 million yuan, the main economy is agriculture and animal husbandry;Coal (national coal base), natural gas, chemical industry, cashmere, wind energy, solar energy, biomedicine and other industries;and business, software, information technology, warehousing and other service industries.
The above-mentioned cities are all in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, where precipitation is scarce, and the water resources needed for urban development come from
Hohhot City is the Yellow River Loop, and the main stream of the Yellow River flows through an area of more than 100 kilometers in Hohhot. Therefore, the Yellow River is the main water source of Hohhot**;Secondly, there is the replenishment of reservoirs and groundwater;
Baotou City is the Yellow River Loop, and the main stream of the Yellow River flows through an area of more than 200 kilometers in Baotou City. The water supply of Baotou City is mainly the water of the Yellow RiverSecondly, there is the replenishment of groundwater and reservoir water
Ordos is the Yellow River Loop, the Yellow River flows through the Ordos region for hundreds of kilometers, and the water resources of Ordos are mainly the Yellow River water, as well as the replenishment of groundwater.
It can be seen that Hohhot, Baotou and Ordos are all in the Yellow River Loop, and their water resources are mainly based on the Yellow River water, which is supplemented by groundwater resources.
The distribution of water resources in China is extremely unbalanced, especially in the northwest region, and the central and western parts of Inner Mongolia are one of the regions with serious water resources. Although the Yellow River flows through the cities of Hohhot, Baotou and Ordos in the Hetao region, the Yellow River has to take into account the water problems of Gansu Province, Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Hebei Province and other coastal areas that lack water resources.
It can be seen from this that even if Hohhot, Baotou, and Ordos are all in the Yellow River loop, they cannot use the method of "flood irrigation" to extract the water resources of the Yellow River. This puts forward new requirements for urban development in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia.
Of course, these cities may be able to build into megacities or megacities in the northwest without considering the water use of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but this is not possible, because the national system determines the distribution system of water resources.
Secondly, the natural environment in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia is very fragile, and there is a vast desert about 60 kilometers away from HohhotBaotou City is surrounded by Kubuqi Desert, Xiangshawan Desert and Engebe Desert;Ordos has the Kubuqi Desert.
It can be seen that the urban development of Hohhot, Baotou and Ordos is different from the development conditions of the central region and the coastal areas, and they can exert their strength to develop the productive forces. Therefore, it is not feasible to expand the large-scale infrastructure of cities in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia and take the extension development, first, the constraints of water resources;The second is the harsh natural environment constraints in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia.
Therefore, cities such as Hohhot, Baotou and Ordos in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia should choose to follow the connotative development model, that is, pay attention to the improvement of the intrinsic quality of the city and pursue a comprehensive and sustainable development model.
Large-scale urbanization, large-scale industrial expansion, and massive population growth all require large amounts of water resources, while the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia have a dry climate and are arid or semi-arid. It can be seen that the above-mentioned cities in Inner Mongolia must follow the connotative development model, that is, the use of fewer resources to get out of the high-quality economic development model.
In fact, cities in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, such as Hohhot, have chosen to develop monocrystalline silicon, photovoltaic materials and other industries on the basis of the original industryBaotou City focuses on the development of rare earth science and technology industry, new materials and new energy equipment manufacturing industry clustersThe development of cashmere, wind energy, solar energy, biomedicine and other industries in Ordos is the right choice for high-quality development according to its natural conditions.
In fact, the cities in the central and western parts of Inner Mongolia are pioneers and important forces in transforming the natural environment.
For example, the green coverage rate of Hohhot has reached 43 after unremitting efforts21%, on April 7, 2023, the "Hohhot 2023 Village Greening Implementation Plan" will be formulated and will promote the comprehensive greening development of urban and rural areas in Hohhot;
For example, Baotou City has implemented the "forest chief system", and the green coverage rate of built-up areas has reached 41%, and the forest coverage rate of the whole city has reached more than 15%.
For example, the green coverage rate of the built-up area of Ordos has reached 4494%, forest coverage rate 274%。
Of course, other cities in central and western Inner Mongolia have also made great achievements in greening, such as Wuhai City, where the green coverage rate has reached 43%.
Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", which is the condition for the high-quality and sustainable development of Inner Mongolia's economy. The cities and urban agglomerations in the central and western parts of Inner Mongolia are not only an important force for the development of high-quality economy in Inner Mongolia, but also an important force for urban greening and the construction of a green barrier for thousands of miles in Inner Mongolia.
Come on, build a high-quality economic Inner Mongolia!
Come on, build a green Great Wall of Inner Mongolia!
