Anhui will have 9 central cities? Besides Hefei, what else?

Anhui is a very "tangled" province. You can say that it is famous. Compared with many "star provinces", it seems unknown; but if you say that it is not famous, what happens every time? The actions always attract a group of people (including those from other provinces) to watch.

Anhui's tourism industry is not said to be booming, but at least its future is worrying. There are only a few tourist attractions that can be used, and the most well-known one is probably Huangshan.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no tourist attractions in other cities in Anhui Province. It is just that compared with some big tourist cities, they are too ordinary, and you can go there or not.

Most people who regard Anhui Province as a tourist destination just want to be "close". Moreover, Anhui Province does not seem to be aiming at this, instead turning to comprehensive economic development, and also has a new development plan for the city.

Anhui Province originally belonged to the East China Region. Later, the country vigorously supported the development of the Central Region, and it was re-incorporated into the Central Region together with the other two provinces.

The province with the most obvious location advantages, fastest development and best development is undoubtedly Anhui Province. It is not only the link between the eastern region and the central region, and has unique location advantages; at the same time, it also enjoys the dual policy dividends of the eastern region and the central region, so its economic development is quite different from other provinces.

Such enjoyment has indeed attracted a lot of criticism to Anhui, but even so, Anhui is still implementing its future development plan in an orderly manner.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Anhui has established plans for nine major central cities, divided into four levels. Although there are 9 central cities, in fact, 16 cities in Anhui are within the scope of the new urban planning.

The first level is Hefei City, which has suffered a lot of criticism in recent years. It is almost the "Chengdu of the central region" - it has been criticized for relying on the blood of surrounding cities to grow, and following behind it. , five meals in three days.

However, Hefei is the capital city of Anhui Province, and it is the city with the strongest development momentum and the best development prospects in Anhui Province, so it has high hopes for it and has many policies. support.

This urban planning is to make Hefei develop into a national central city. Although Hefei has a poor family background and a late start, with its development over the years, it has become a veritable provincial central city.

In 2020, the permanent population exceeded 9.37 million, making it the most populous city in Anhui. It also joined the "Trillion City Club" with a GDP of 1,004.5 billion and became the largest economy in Anhui.

Anhui's support for the development of Hefei is very strong, almost to the point of "eccentricity". In order to support Hefei's expansion, it even divided Chaohu into three parts and gave the main part to Hefei. At that time It also caused quite a bit of controversy online.

At present, Anhui’s position for Hefei is to build a modern central city, and it is determined to put Hefei into the ranks of national central cities. Judging from Hefei's current urban size and total economic level, there is still a big gap between Hefei and the national central city. This requires Hefei to make further efforts. Of course, Anhui will definitely push it again when necessary.

The second level is Wuhu City. Although it is just an ordinary prefecture-level city in Anhui, it is the well-deserved second place in the province. It is not only an important industrial and trade logistics city in Anhui Province with obvious location advantages, but also the second largest economic city in Anhui Province.

Therefore, in the future development plan of Anhui Province, Wuhu is positioned as a provincial sub-central city and built into an influential big city.

Four cities may be selected for the third level, namely Anqing, Fuyang, Bengbu and Huangshan, located in the southeast, northwest and northwest corners respectively. Anhui Province has decided to build them into modern regional central cities, covering at least Go beyond your own administrative district.

There may be three cities in the fourth layer, namely Bozhou, Suzhou and Lu'an. These three cities are connected to neighboring provinces and are divided into inter-provincial adjacent regional central cities, mainly used to cover the local area. city ??and some small counties in neighboring provinces.

In addition, the remaining seven cities are not without planning. Anhui Province has positioned them as "regional central cities". At present, what they mainly do is to "develop themselves."

Dividing cities into different levels based on factors such as city size, radiation capacity, and location advantages will help Anhui Province further high-quality development in the future and better integrate into the Yangtze River Delta The economic zone can also bring the entire Anhui economy to a new level.

Of course, the intensity of support is naturally different, but this is also differentiated according to the different conditions of each city. The status of Hefei and Wuhu is basically unshakable. The other cities also have their own characteristics. Only by developing counterparts can development efficiency be improved.

In general, Anhui Province still has a clear goal for its future development plan. As for whether it can achieve the desired standards in the future, only time will answer this question.
