Ten thousand mountains are majestic, and there must be a main peak. At the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, on the occasion of the renewal of Vientiane, the importance of how Gansu can effectively strengthen the provincial capital and realize the leading effect of "key sub-falls and full of life" is self-evident.
If the provincial capital is strong, the whole province will be strong, and if the provincial capital is prosperous, the whole province will be prosperous. Gansu strives to promote the development strategy of strengthening the provincial capital, which is not only based on realistic pragmatic considerations, but also has a forward-looking vision for the future. Located on the shore of the Yellow River, Lanzhou is located in the intersection area of the "Hu Huanyong Line" and the "Botai Line", and is the "head goose" in the "wild goose array" of 14 cities and prefectures in Gansu and Lanzhou New Area. If the "head goose" is well led, the "wild goose array" can fly high and far. From the perspective of scientific development, for the central and western regions, gathering the strength of the whole province to "support" the provincial capital city can accumulate development factors such as population and capital to a greater extent, form a scale effect, create a growth pole that can radiate the whole province, and ultimately benefit the high-quality development of the whole province.
Because of this, in recent years, Gansu has been committed to promoting the action of strengthening the provincial capital, and has painted a picture of building a beautiful Lanzhou in the new era.
Innovation is the first driving force to lead development, in terms of innovation driven, Lanzhou adheres to the development of preemption and dislocation, and coordinates the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the cultivation and growth of emerging industries, and the layout of future industries. Among them, there are not only "pioneers" in the "specialized, special and new" industry who bravely climb the peak and achieve breakthroughs from "zero to one" again and again, but also a number of local enterprises that have accumulated momentum and bravely stepped out of the "comfort zone" and become the trendsetters of the new blue ocean of the industry. What's more, when the trend of innovation blows in the land of Longyuan, what is accumulated is a complete set of efficient and collaborative innovation system, and it is the resounding signboard of the entire "Made in Lanzhou".
Accessible and prosperous. When the context of transportation continues to extend, it is not only the physical sense of connection and smoothness, but also opens up countless new possibilities for economic development. The province's first two-way eight-lane Yellow River Bridge was successfully closed, the first phase of Lanzhou Rail Transit Line 2 was opened for trial operation, and the construction of the third phase of the expansion project of Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport entered the countdown ......With the breakthrough progress in the construction of a number of key transportation projects in Lanzhou, the three-dimensional transportation network with smooth internal and external connections has been gradually improved, and the "arteries" and "capillaries" of economic development have been continuously opened, which has also created more possibilities for the future of Jincheng Lanzhou.
The cultural tourism vitality index is an important parameter to measure the charm of a provincial capital. In recent years, there have been more and more cultural and creative products of the Gansu Provincial Museum, the beautiful scenery and food of Lanzhou, etc., and there is an endless stream of tourists who make a special trip to Lanzhou to "check in" the beautiful scenery and food, and the attraction and presence of Lanzhou as a tourist destination are getting stronger and stronger. Behind this is the refined layout under the logic of strong provincial capitals. It is reported that in order to make Lanzhou have highlights in all seasons and can be visited in the whole area, the local government has prepared wonderful cultural and tourism activities such as art exhibitions, national costume exhibitions, and ice and snow tourism, which fully demonstrate the cultural charm of the Yellow River.
If you recognize the right road, you must boldly try, do it with the pragmatic style of "three grasping and three promoting" actions, and break through with the spirit of daring to be the first. The 2024 Gansu Provincial ** Work Report clearly states that it is necessary to speed up and strengthen the provincial capital, increase policy implementation, and support Lanzhou to improve its primacy, build a growth pole, and be a good pacesetter.
To this end, on the one hand, it is necessary to start from the aspects of improving industrial support, innovation drive, transportation connectivity, environmental attractiveness, and opening up and leading force, so as to break the shackles and bottlenecks of development with the ambition of jumping up and feeling high, so that Jincheng Lanzhou can truly become a charming city in multiple dimensions such as commerce, cultural tourism, and transportation. To achieve this goal, it is inseparable from a solid and scientific implementation plan and a practical and effective starting point. For example, from the perspective of environmental attractiveness, we might as well take the 2024 "Year of Optimizing the Business Environment, Improving Quality and Efficiency" as an opportunity to implement and refine services, so that doing business in Lanzhou will become a more reliable, down-to-earth and cost-effective business choice.
On the other hand, we must not forget that the ultimate goal of strengthening the provincial capital is not only for the future of Lanzhou as a city, but also based on the overall consideration of the long-term development of the province. Focusing on improving the radiation belt power of Lanzhou and promoting the coordinated linkage between Lanzhou and various cities and states is the proper meaning of the action of strengthening the provincial capital. From this point of view, how to strengthen the docking and cooperation of major plans, major projects and key projects in the province, establish an efficient, dynamic and in-depth linkage mechanism, and how to benefit the livelihood and well-being of more children of Longyuan to the greatest extent is worth further exploration and attempt.
I believe that driven by the spirit of daring to be the first, the courage to break the routine and the ambition to jump up and touch the height, the beautiful Lanzhou with a thriving industry, beautiful environment, livable and business-friendly, intelligent, efficient, safe and healthy will be built, and the shore of the Yellow River will be even better.
