The total population of the urban area exceeded 10 million! Hangzhou has made the leap from a megacity to a megacity and has become a megacity "club". There is good news from the 2024 Hangzhou Two Sessions held recently.
So far, there are 10 cities in China with an urban population of more than 10 million. In addition to the new member Hangzhou, they are Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin, Dongguan and Wuhan.
According to the notice issued in 2014, the new urban scale classification standard is based on the permanent resident population in urban areas. Among them, cities with a permanent population of more than 10 million in urban areas are megacities.
Chinese modernization is the modernization of a huge population. Looking at the "first column" of this city's energy level, from the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta to the "Gemini Constellation" of Chengdu and Chongqing, it highlights the myriad of Chinese modernization.
Connect the dots into a piece, and the regional radiation capacity is greatly improved. With Beijing and Tianjin as the center, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei City Exhibition will be led, the Yangtze River Delta City Exhibition will be led by Shanghai, and the Yangtze River Delta City Exhibition will be led by Wuhan as ......the centerIt is not difficult to find that the members of the megacity "club" have joined the dots to promote the rise of urban agglomerations, which has become a feature of China's current economic and social development.
Development is by no means a "one-man advance", and it is necessary to do a good job of coordination. Through the "soft connection" of rules and the "hard connection" of infrastructure, urban agglomerations not only outline the largest "concentric circles" of people's livelihood and well-being, but also weave a dense transportation network to allow industries to gather in clusters.
Strong "magnetic attraction", smooth circulation of innovative elements. At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is reshaping the global innovation map, and megacities have become "pioneers" of new technologies and "cultivation fields" of new business formats by virtue of the "magnetic attraction" of innovative elements.
In the Yangtze River Delta, which has two megacities, from the "Sunday engineer" in the early days of reform and opening up to the "same city" circulation of talents and scientific and technological elements, the cross-regional flow of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation between Shanghai and Hangzhou is efficient and smooth, and the integration is deepening in multiple dimensions.
Located in Qiantang District, Hangzhou Medical Port is home to more than 1,700 biopharmaceutical companies, and 7 of the world's top 10 well-known pharmaceutical companies, including Merck & Co., Ltd., have settled here. Hangzhou is accelerating the formation of five major industrial ecosystems: intelligent IoT, biomedicine, high-end equipment, new materials and green energy.
Life is better, and public services are diversified and efficient. Chinese modernization is a modernization that focuses on the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, and the rich and diversified supply of public goods has become the consensus of the "club" of megacities. Many places continue to explore the way to drive the governance reform of megacities with the demands of the people.
To truly feel the temperature of a big city, it is necessary to focus on cultivating the ability to manage the city to match it. In terms of government services such as newborn birth, education and enrollment, and social security, we must strive to solve the problem of "doing one thing efficiently".
Focus on the needs of residents, from "doable" and "doable" to "easy to do" and "easy to do". Relying on the "Zhejiang Office", Hangzhou has realized 75 multi-departmental joint "one thing" such as "birth" and "enterprise start-up", and launched 413 types of electronic licenses such as ID cards, driver's licenses, and road transport licenses.
It is found that the members of the "club" of megacities are all cities with a GDP of one trillion yuan, reflecting their "family background" and strength. At the same time, the increase in the large number of people also brings "growing pains". The core of the city is people, and it is expected that these "big guys" will truly become harmonious, livable and dynamic modern cities.
