How to write a practical report on the 2007 Tangshan Ceramics Expo and Economic Fair?

On September 16, at the 10th Tangshan China Ceramics Expo and the 2007 Hebei Tangshan (Caofeidian) Economic and Trade Fair held in Tangshan, the Caofeidian Circular Economy Project and Caofeidian New Planning Special Promotion Conference were particularly attractive. Attention.

Domestic and foreign merchants attending the meeting were not only interested in Caofeidian’s geographical and resource advantages of “a deep trough facing the sea, a shoal on the back of the land, large oil fields underground, and a vast and supportive hinterland”, but also paid great attention to Relevant parties introduced the construction concept of Caofeidian’s future city.

"From now on, the word 'Caofeidian' will not only mean a large port and industrial base, but also a new ecological modern coastal city with international demonstration significance." Such a novel but highly conceptual definition of the city , can’t help but arouse people’s curiosity; what kind of city will Caofeidian, as a scientific development demonstration area, build? How does this city implement the scientific development concept of people-oriented, harmonious and livable in its construction?

A people-oriented ecological city

"I heard that Caofeidian will be a very beautiful city in the future. I first came to the Ceramics Expo to learn more about it." On September 16, on the 10th At the China Tangshan Ceramics Expo pavilion, a couple from Qinhuangdao told reporters that they wanted to invest in the retail industry in Caofeidian.

"After the overall relocation of Shougang and the construction of oil fields are completed, I believe there will definitely be a coastal city with huge appreciation potential in the future." The couple's ideas represent the judgment of a considerable number of investors.

"The Caofeidian National Circular Economy Demonstration Zone determines that future cities must be people-oriented ecological cities." During the interview, both the designers of the China Urban Planning and Design Institute and the Caofeidian Industrial Zone Planning and Development Bureau Relevant people said that although Caofeidian New Area is a heavy and chemical industry cluster, its industrial development is characterized by circular economy, and its requirements for the city must also comply with the concepts of scientific development, harmony and livability.

"In conjunction with the development and construction of Caofeidian and the construction of large oil fields, we are planning to build an ecological city in Caofeidian that has modern urban functions, can meet the needs of high-end services, and is green and livable." said a person from the Tangshan Municipal Planning Bureau , based on this concept, this city will fully draw on the world's port city development experience in planning and design, absorb the world's most advanced construction concepts, integrate the world's most advanced technical elements, and fully comply with ecological environmental protection, resource conservation, and social harmony. It is constructed according to the ideological concepts and the overall requirements of modernization and internationalization. "For example, the travel mode emphasizes green travel that prioritizes public transportation, pays attention to the protection and restoration of urban natural environments such as rivers and wetlands, and advocates a simplified lifestyle."

"Circular economy and ecological cities both deal with environmental pollution, resources All proposed in the context of excessive consumption, they are all to solve the contradiction between population, resources and environment, and they all emphasize the coordination of the relationship between man and nature and the relationship between people," said a relevant person from the Tangshan Municipal Planning Bureau. Explain the significance of ecological city construction.

"Ecological city" is an important concept proposed during the research process of the "Man and the Biosphere Program" initiated by UNESCO. In 1971, UNESCO proposed "comprehensive ecological research on human settlements" at its 16th session, and the concept of "ecological city" came into being and soon attracted widespread attention around the world. By the late 20th century, "eco-city" had been recognized as a 21st-century urban construction model.

In October 1999, the American Worldwatch Institute pointed out in the survey report "Revolutionizing Cities for Humanity and the Planet" that both industrialized and developing countries must put their city planning in the long term. The status of coordinated development strategy, and its general direction can only choose the path of ecologicalization.

"An ecological city that conforms to ecological laws should have a reasonable structure and coordinated relationships. It should use land rationally, have a good ecological environment, sufficient green space system, complete infrastructure, and carry out effective natural protection. "A relevant person from the Tangshan Municipal Planning Bureau said this.

It is understood that in January 2007, the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government started the planning and design work of Caofeidian City, entrusting Tsinghua Urban Planning and Design Institute and other top domestic planning and design units to carry out urban spatial layout planning.

“Following the concept of coordinated development of ports, port areas, and port cities, the eco-city and port area spaces are appropriately separated, leaving enough development space for the future port industrial zone and enough environmental space for urban construction. "Relevant people from the Caofeidian Industrial Zone Planning and Development Bureau said that in addition to fully considering ecological factors in urban spatial layout, a Caofeidian ecological city construction indicator system covering economic, social, environmental and other factors has been initially compiled, and the indicators have been quantified to varying degrees. .

A coastal city built on the harbor

Just as the California gold rush created San Francisco, and the oil in the Northeastern wilderness created Daqing, a large port and a large oil field will inevitably lead to the southern coast of Tangshan. Give birth to a new city.

At noon on September 17, with the last 60-ton fender successfully installed on the No. 4 docking pier, the main body and ancillary facilities of the Caofeidian 300,000-ton crude oil terminal project were completed. Previously, the Caofeidian Port Ore Terminal has been put into operation and can currently handle more than 10 million tons per year.

"In the future, with the construction of LNG terminals, bulk cargo terminals, and container terminals, an international port with an annual throughput of 500 million tons will be built here." On September 13, pointing to the docking ore terminal The Panama Ship, the staff of Caofeidian Industrial Zone told the visitors.

The development law of world port cities that "a city thrives on its harbor and the harbor serves its city" is also confirmed here.

Walking into the Caofeidian Industrial Zone, which is under construction in full swing, there are endless construction troops at the construction sites of major projects such as Shougang Jingtang, MCC Jingtang, and PetroChina. The small restaurants and small supermarkets that pop up from time to time are all reminders of your visit. The gathering of people here.

"Now there are tens of thousands of people working on the Shougang construction site alone, and there will be even more people next year. Our company has sent a letter to the provincial government, asking relevant departments to negotiate to resolve the problem of employees and construction personnel going to the island next year. "Life security issues," said a company department head at the construction site of Shougang Jingtang Iron and Steel Company.

"Driven by the leading industrial chain, the types of comprehensive industries will be further diversified, the scale of development will be further expanded, and the scale of population agglomeration will be greatly increased. In the petrochemical industry alone, millions of tons of ethylene are used as raw materials to The downstream processing and other links are extended, and the jobs created are considerable. "

According to statistics from the relevant departments of Caofeidian Industrial Zone, there are currently 50,000 employees on Caofeidian Island, and it is expected to reach 100,000 next year, and 5-10 in the future. It can form an urban demand of 400,000-500,000 people every year.

Such statistics are confirmed by relevant data from Shougang Jingtang Iron and Steel Company. It is understood that this company alone will have 5,000 to 6,000 formal employees on the island as some of its projects are put into production next year, while construction workers will be nearly 30,000.

According to the analysis of human resources demand, with the industrial development of Caofeidian Industrial Zone, the proportion of highly educated and high-income people is very considerable. These groups of people will work in Caofeidian and live in nearby cities, creating demand for high-end consumption and services such as administrative management, business activities, higher education, and international finance. This has created a need for a modern coastal city that can provide a high quality of life.

"In the future, Caofeidian New City and the main urban area of ??Tangshan will form a 'dual-core' structure, which will push the production layout to the coast and gather production factors along the coast." Relevant people from the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee believe that this is the successful transformation of Tangshan into a resource-based city. one of the paths.

A demonstration city of scientific development

Enter Caofeidian along the wide and busy Tongdao Highway, cross the "zero kilometer" sign and go not far before the door, there is a picture that reads "National The big sign "Scientific Development Demonstration Zone" is particularly eye-catching.

On July 29, 2006, when inspecting Caofeidian, General Secretary Hu Jintao made it clear that Caofeidian should be well planned, constructed and used to make it a "demonstration area for scientific development" across the country. The general secretary’s entrustment and expectations pointed out the direction for the scientific development and construction of Caofeidian.

A new city first faces the problem of how to solve the problem of land use.

This urban construction model does not occupy cultivated land and uses resources intensively, which has become the clear goal of Caofeidian's demonstration role.

“Currently, the country has very strict land control. In many provinces in the south, available land cannot meet the needs of industrial and urban development.

"At the first International Practice and Theory Seminar of Caofeidian Circular Economy Demonstration Zone, Jiang Lizheng, deputy director of the Marine Area Division of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, told reporters that my country's coastal provinces have begun to use coastal beach reclamation to solve the land resource bottleneck problem.

“Caofeidian Industrial Zone itself was built by blowing sand to create land. "Zhao Peng from the Regional Institute of China Urban Planning and Design Institute has been engaged in Tangshan City master planning and Caofeidian planning and design research in the past three or four years. She believes that "restoring and improving the ecology on tidal flats and wasteland is in line with China's land policy. It is also in line with the concept of global intensive development. ”

Driving on the road leading to the Caofeidian Port area, heavy-duty trucks carrying sand, gravel and soil materials came one after another. Looking through the car window, I could see stripes of gray over the sea in the distance. A giant black dragon rises into the sky - a large cutter suction ship is roaring to lift up the sediment from the seabed, and a huge pipe with a diameter of 1 meter sprays out slurry several meters high; after the water recedes and the sand is silted, under the tamping hammer of the heavy rammer , the tidal flat became a solid "land". This is how the Caofeidian Industrial Zone, which was formed by reclamation of sand, completed a land reclamation project of nearly 60 square kilometers.

Xin Zhichun, director of the Tangshan Municipal Development and Reform Commission, told reporters. There are 1,100 square kilometers of wasteland and tidal flats along the southern coast of Tangshan. Urban construction does not occupy cultivated land and does not involve land acquisition and demolition.

However, building a new city on a piece of wasteland is like a piece of blank paper. You can imagine the difficulty.

“Shenzhen was built on the basis of a remote and desolate small fishing village. It started from the Shekou Industrial Zone and later developed into a modern coastal metropolis. "When talking about how Caofeidian's urban dream can be realized, a person in charge of the Tangshan Municipal Planning Bureau is not lacking in confidence.

In addition, in the improvement of saline-alkali soil, the use of renewable resources, seawater desalination and recycling , building energy-saving and livable buildings, etc., Caofeidian New City will also actively explore and practice

It is understood that in order to enable the new city to better assume the functional division of labor in serving the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area, it will actively explore and practice. It is currently planned to build three new expressways to connect Caofeidian and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region; four "one horizontal and three vertical" railways will form a regional freight channel.

"With the development of the country, With the construction of intercity high-speed railways in the Bohai Rim region, the time from Caofeidian to Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan Central City and Qinhuangdao Scenic Area will be greatly shortened, and can be controlled within 45 minutes. "Xu Demao, director of the Caofeidian Industrial Zone Management Committee, described such a convenient transportation network in an interview with reporters.

A highly open international city

"I have heard about China abroad. There is Caofeidian in Tangshan. I came to take a look and plan to invest. "On September 16, at the Caofeidian New City Planning Promotion Conference held at the 10th China Tangshan Ceramics Expo, Mr. Lin from Singapore said this in an interview with local media.

At this year's Ceramics Expo On-site signing ceremonies were held for 28 projects, including 13 foreign-invested projects with a total investment of US$860 million and a contracted foreign investment of US$630 million. In August 2007, South Korea's CN Shipbuilding Company and domestic enterprises jointly invested 13.7 billion. The Tangshan Delong Marine Engineering Base established by Yuan Yuan has also started construction in Caofeidian.

Since it is necessary to build a world-class port-facing industrial zone, the development and construction of Caofeidian will surely attract the most powerful and internationally leading companies at home and abroad. Large companies and large groups come to enjoy development advantages and development opportunities and follow the path of international development. This also determines that the new city based on Caofeidian must be an international city.

" In the context of economic globalization and with the development of the Bohai Rim Economic Circle, Caofeidian is increasingly attracting attention from all over the world. "Relevant people from the Tangshan Municipal Commerce Bureau said that in recent years, the proportion of foreign investment in Caofeidian's investment promotion has been increasing.

In May 2006, the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and other institutions jointly launched the "2006 "China's Cities with the Most Investment Value in the Eyes of Multinational Companies" list, Tangshan ranks among the top ten "Chinese Cities with the Most Investment Potential".

Researcher Jin Bei, who led the research, said in an interview with a reporter from Tangshan Media: " Tangshan attracts the attention of multinational companies because of its huge potential in the Caofeidian port, industrial zone and Nanbao oil field, which plays an increasingly important role in the regional economy.

"

"With the influx of foreign capital, foreign companies will set up headquarters, branches or R&D institutions in the Caofeidian area, and the international population will begin to gather in the next ten years. "Survey statistics from relevant departments of the Tangshan Municipal Development and Reform Commission show that Caofeidian's internationalization is by no means a waste of time.

"Build a highly open, highly prosperous, and highly civilized international city", "combine different ethnic groups, The humanistic needs of different skin colors and different cultural backgrounds, and building a healthy and integrated international community." Looking at the relevant information of the Tangshan Municipal Government, it is not difficult to see from these words that Tangshan has made a "golden treasure land" like Caofeidian a strategy for the world. The ambition of the platform

The development prospects of the coastal urban belt in our province

In March 2007, the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Urbanization in Hebei Province" was announced. In the plan, it was clearly proposed to give full play to coastal advantages, accelerate the construction of coastal transportation networks, integrate the spatial layout and development resources of coastal towns, and promote the distribution of productivity to the coast. Transfer.

Dialogue:

Professor Ye Yeliang of Hong Kong Polytechnic University:

The development of port cities is crucial to Hebei

On September 14, at the first International Practice and Theory Symposium of Caofeidian Circular Economy Demonstration Zone held in Tanghai, Professor Ye Yeliang from the Department of Logistics of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University analyzed the case of the development of international port cities. , summarized the elements of modern port city development, and answered reporters’ questions on issues related to the development of cities in coastal areas of our province relying on ports.

News in depth: You have repeatedly stressed that port cities are of vital significance to Hebei’s economic development. Why do you say that?

Ye Ziliang: Judging from the historical laws of urban development in the world, industrialization has promoted the development of cities. The development of large industry and the large-scale ship transportation have gradually shifted inland river ports to seaports, and cities have therefore moved to coastal areas. . And when you open the map and look at the long coastline along the eastern coast of China, you will find that from Shenzhen, Xiamen, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin to Dalian, every city that plays an important role in China's economic map is accompanied by a port.

In the 1960s, the world economy began to enter the era of coastal economy. More than 60% of the world's transportation volume was realized by sea transportation, 80% of big cities were concentrated in coastal areas, and 80% of the population lived concentratedly. In the geographical space of 200 kilometers along the coast, this trend continues to this day. Similarly, Hebei is also experiencing such a development process, so Qin Tangcang must devote himself to the construction of coastal economic development corridors.

News in-depth: What do you think is the primary factor in the development of modern port cities?

Ye Ziliang: First of all, we must have good geographical conditions, such as good natural ports, deep water channels, and relatively strong transportation volume generation locations, which are commonly referred to as economic hinterlands. World-famous ports such as the Port of London and the Port of Rotterdam all have such characteristics. The three ports of Cangzhou, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao in Hebei Province also have such natural endowment advantages, especially the unique deep-water channel of Caofeidian Port. This natural advantage is even more obvious.

News in depth: What other factors play a decisive role?

Ye Ziliang: There is also the economic and policy environment. For example, infrastructure construction, development strategic planning, local industrial scale, regional logistics and transportation network, as well as government regulatory mechanisms and management structures, etc.

News in-depth: We usually understand that the relationship between ports and cities seems to be a relationship between serving and being served, pushing and being pushed. Is this the case?

Ye Ziliang: No. Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp all developed based on port trade. The ports and cities are integrated and promote each other. The development of the port has promoted the modernization and internationalization of the city, and based on port logistics, it has gradually developed into an international trade center city where thousands of merchants gather. The development of the city has enhanced the strength of the port, allowing it to always maintain a leading position in the fierce competition in world shipping. It can be said that modern ports not only promote the growth of urban economic volume, but also greatly strengthen the city's radiation and competitiveness, fully improve the city's industrial structure, and the development of the city promotes the development of the port. The two complement each other.

News in-depth: So, in the relationship between port and urban development, how to achieve positive interaction and simultaneous development?

Ye Ziliang: We must attach great importance to the interactive relationship between ports and cities. The port and the city where it is located promote each other, rise and fall, and thrive. Only through coordinated development can the two form an overall advantage. Therefore, to develop the port economy in a region, we must adhere to the guiding ideology of "prospering the port and city and integrating the port and the city", and integrate port development into the larger framework of urban development. In terms of planning, we must adhere to the unity of port planning and urban planning to form a port and the development trend of the city's prosperity.

News in-depth: Currently, nearly 20 cities in my country’s coastal areas have proposed “revitalizing cities with ports”. The development of Hebei’s coastal cities is relatively lagging behind. How can they catch up?

Ye Ziliang: In order to strive for the status of northern shipping centers, Tianjin, Qingdao and Dalian in the north have invested heavily in port construction in recent years. Ningbo has proposed “to complete the transition from local inland river ports to national-level seaports and then to intercontinental Triple jump in Dagang”. In the two major ports of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, a total of 33 berths are planned to be put into construction in the next three years, with a production capacity of 16.2 million TEUs. It can be said that China's coastal ports are developing rapidly. Hebei must also accurately position and increase investment in port construction. At the same time, it must study how to use the inherent laws of mutual promotion between ports and cities to coordinate the close relationship between the development of the two. I believe that taking the road of port-city integration will bring about a win-win situation for both parties.
