The year 2022 is the 10th anniversary of the approval of the Lanzhou New Area.
After ten years of development, although the doubts and ridicule of the new area still exist, but it is undeniable that we have witnessed the rise of a city from the beginning of the mountain pioneering to the rise of the new city.
The pain in the neck is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two.
01
At the end of last year, in the plenary session of the 13th plenary session of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee's economic work conference, the secretary and governor of the province explicitly proposed to strengthen the provincial capital, full implementation of the action of the strong provincial capital.

This is the first time in Gansu Province really clearly put forward "strong provincial capital", which means that Gansu Province will formally follow up on the strong provincial capital strategy.
The policy is there, and the public's expectations are drawn straight up!
However, how to "strong provincial capital" into practice, to establish the development strategy, is in front of us must think about an important issue.
Actual shot
Although Lanzhou in the province has always been in the first place, but pragmatically speaking, Lanzhou in the country, it is actually a "weak provincial capital".
There are many factors that limit the development of Lanzhou, and the first limitation is that Lanzhou's urban space development is limited.
Over the years, Lanzhou has made a lot of efforts to break the limitations of urban development space.
"Expanding east and west, expanding south and north", a series of pioneering moves, so that Lanzhou rose a lot of new areas. One of the most representative of the northern expansion of those areas, Jiujiu, Qingbaishi, Cultural and Creative City, Lanzhou New District.
Actual shot
Not long ago, Lanzhou City officially announced the adjustment of the administrative division, which "three Gaolan" adjustment, so that people are once again clear that Lanzhou's determination to expand north.
According to the "Gansu Provincial People's Government on the consent of Lanzhou City, change Chengguan District, Anning District, Gaolan County, part of the administrative boundaries of the approval of the reply" (Ganzhengfa [2022] No. 14) spirit, the city will change the city of Chengguan District, Anning District, Gaolan County, part of the administrative boundaries of the situation is notified as follows:
Second, the Gaolan County Jiuhe Township and all its jurisdiction over all the 11 established villages, Zhonghe Township and its jurisdiction over the Yanchi community 1 community and Yachuan Village, Fengdeng Village, Pinghane Village, Liuhua Village, Yanchi Village, 5 established villages into the Anning District. After the change, Zhonghe Township, Jiuhe Township government sites, name unchanged.
Actual shot
After this administrative planning, Chengguan District and Anning District to get a lot of developable land, there is a space for the north; and Lanzhou New District will go all the way to the south, linked to Gaolan to form the development pattern of the district and county together.
For Lanzhou, the strong provincial capital of the development strategy faced by the city space tension, may be resolved.
02
The problem of space is solved, but also need to pay attention to one thing is transportation.

Lanzhou city transportation east-west insufficient, north-south is not smooth, not enough connection problem is very prominent. If you want to make the strategy of strong provincial capital to be effectively implemented, to solve the poor transportation connection is one of the things that must be paid attention to.
To be rich, first repair the road! This saying is still not outdated.
Lanzhou New District has been subject to external controversy for many years, the main point is that it is too far from the main city of Lanzhou, to and from the distance of more than 70 kilometers, directly dissuade a lot of people.

In the context of the rapid development of the new area, more and more people flocked to the new area, there are a number of large projects planned to land in the new area, the requirements of the transportation road network is also higher point.
And the distance between the new area and the main city, making transportation become the most critical link in the development of Lanzhou New District.
In the latest Lanzhou New Area "14th Five-Year Plan" Transportation Development Plan, it is clear that the new area of aviation, railroad, highway transportation planning for upgrading, to build a new area of three-dimensional modern transportation network, so as to enhance the competitive advantage of the region.
The effect of the middle channel / Figure source network deletion
For example, accelerate the construction of the middle channel project, shorten the main city and Lanzhou new area between the passage time, so as to improve the city's comprehensive transportation network, drive the synergistic development of a number of north of the regional.
As the future of the north to link up the regions along the important transportation channel, the middle passage is high hopes, no matter how the development is not too much.
03
Population concentration is a key factor in the vitality of a city.
If there is no huge population and consumption to drive the economy, and there is no large number of supporting products to form an industrial chain, the rise of Lanzhou New District will have to wait for an unknown time.
