Between the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city cluster and the Yangtze River Delta city cluster in China, there is a heavyweight national city cluster, this group consists of a whole province, which is the Shandong Peninsula city cluster; and the scope of the Shandong Peninsula city cluster, Shandong Province, 16 prefectural level and above the composition of the city. Although the Shandong Peninsula City Cluster is located between China's two major economic growth poles, but its regional influence is far less than the Yangtze River Delta City Cluster and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei City Cluster; not its economic strength is not strong, but its strength is not really played out. It's like a person who has an empty body of internal strength but no good gongfu method, resulting in the strength can not be fully realized, which is the current Shandong!
Shandong Peninsula city cluster is located in the downstream area of China's Yellow River Basin, if you take the Yangtze River Economic Zone than, Shandong Peninsula city cluster is like the Yangtze River Delta city cluster; and Shandong Peninsula city cluster is likewise the Yellow River Basin is the strongest strength of the city cluster. Therefore, Shandong Peninsula City Cluster will become the leader of high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin and the engine of economic development of the Yellow River Basin. Therefore, Shandong plans to enhance the province's scientific and technological innovation capacity, accelerate the industrial transformation and upgrading of the urban agglomeration and the coordinated development of the regional economy, so as to make the urban agglomeration on the Shandong Peninsula an important economic growth pole in the Yellow River basin as well as in the whole country!
Shandong **** there are 16 prefecture-level cities and above, once a period of time, Qingdao, Yantai and Jinan's economic strength has always been ranked in Shandong's top three; in recent years, with the effect of Shandong Province's strong provincial capital strategy gradually appeared, Jinan finally surpassed the Yantai, Shandong, after Qingdao's second-largest economic city. And as Jinan's economy strengthens, the competition between Jinan and Qingdao is gradually intensifying!
Qingdao is the first economic city in Shandong, an important port city and foreign trade city in the north of China. Jinan is the capital city of Shandong Province, the political and cultural center of Shandong Province, and an important old industrial city in the north of China. Therefore, Qingdao and Jinan can be said to be good at each, who does not serve anyone, in the regional economic development is more competition than cooperation, which can be seen from the two cities at the same time applying for the National Center City, the country is only in Shandong appeared in this situation. And the consequences of the two cities infighting is to lead to the whole of Shandong Province group of dragons, regional economic coordination and development is seriously inadequate.
And in Shandong's latest development plan, the relationship between Qingdao and Jinan has finally been clarified. In the future, Shandong will create two central cities, Qingdao and Jinan at the same time, of which Jinan will build a national central city, while Qingdao builds a global ocean center city; Jinan focuses on the function of inter-regional coordination, and Qingdao focuses on playing the role of radiation leadership of the economic powerhouse. At the same time, improve the Jinan-Qingdao linkage development mechanism, strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two central cities, *** with the creation of the province's high-quality development of the economic engine for Shandong to become an important national economic growth pole to lay a solid foundation.
Shandong to develop, in addition to focusing on the development of the two central cities, it is more important to enhance the coordinated development of the regional economy, give full play to the two central cities of the radiation leading role to. In order to promote the coordinated development of the regional economy of Shandong, play out the role of the radiation of the central city, Shandong will improve the cross-city, cross regional cooperation mechanism, the construction of three economic circles, through the economic circle of the division of labor coordination function and the radiation of the central city of the role of the lead, to promote the province's economic development of high quality and rapid development!
The provincial capital economic circle, Shandong Province, one of the three major economic circles planned for construction, the capital city of Shandong Province, Jinan as the central city, linking the surrounding Zibo, Tai'an, Liaocheng, Dezhou, Binzhou and Dongying and other six prefecture-level cities, will rely on the strength of Jinan's science, culture and education, health care resources, as well as transportation advantages, to play out the role of the center city's radiation leadership, and to promote the integration and development of the provincial capital economic circle. And in the specific implementation, will support Zibo to build the national industrial transformation and upgrading demonstration area, support Taian to build a national tourism and leisure city, support Dezhou to become a gateway city for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development.
The second circle planned for Shandong Province is the Jiaodong Economic Circle. The Jiaodong Economic Circle is centered on Qingdao and also includes the surrounding prefecture-level cities of Weifang, Yantai, Weihai and Rizhao. Jiaodong Economic Circle will take marine economy, intelligent manufacturing industry and financial service industry as its pillar industries, give full play to the radiation leading role of Qingdao's leading city, and promote the integrated development of the economic circle. And two major clusters will be built within the economic circle, namely, promoting the development of Qingwei and Japan as one city and promoting the development of Yantai and Weiwei as one city. At the same time, support Yantai to build a modern international coastal city, support Weihai to build an important fulcrum of local cooperation between China, Japan and South Korea, and support Weifang to build an international power city and an international manufacturing highland.
The third circle to be built in Shandong is the Lunan Economic Circle located in the southeastern part of the mountain. Lunan Economic Circle is located in southeastern Shandong, and Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces border, by Linyi, Zaozhuang, Jining and Heze and other four cities, it is both the old revolutionary area, but also belongs to the Huaihai Economic Zone, the geographical position is unique. Unlike the other two economic circles in Shandong, the Lunan Economic Circle does not have a clear and specific center city. According to Shandong's planning, it will rely on the advantages of location, cultural and tourism resources, and characteristic industries to strengthen the regional coordination and linkage of the four cities and promote the coordinated development of the economic circle. In terms of city positioning, support Linyi to build an international comprehensive logistics hub, support Jining to build an international tourism city and national manufacturing city, support Heze to build a regional center city at the junction of Lu, Su, Anhui and Henan.
