What are the four megacities in Sichuan Province?

The key cities in Sichuan Province are not megacities, but "four major urban agglomerations", namely, Chengdu Plain Urban Agglomeration, South Sichuan Urban Agglomeration, Panxi Urban Agglomeration and Northeast Sichuan Urban Agglomeration.

According to the "Twelfth Five-Year Urbanization Development Plan of Sichuan Province", the scope of the four major urban agglomerations and the classification of cities are clearly defined, as follows:

1, Chengdu Plain Urban Agglomeration, including Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang, Meishan, Ziyang, Leshan, Jiajiang, Emei, Ya 'an and Mingshan.

2. The urban agglomeration in southern Sichuan includes Zigong, Luzhou, Neijiang and Yibin, and other towns in Leshan except the main city, Jiajiang County and Emei Mountain, covering an area of about 44,200 square kilometers.

3. Northeast Sichuan urban agglomeration includes Guangyuan City, Suining City, Nanchong City, Guang 'an City, Dazhou City and Bazhong City, covering an area of about 82,000 square kilometers.

4. Panxi Urban Agglomeration, including Panzhihua City, Liangshan Prefecture and Ya 'an City, covers an area of about 67,000 square kilometers except the main city and Mingshan County.

The development priorities of the four major urban agglomerations:

1, the development focus of Chengdu plain urban agglomeration: increase the greening construction of major rivers and backbone roads in the region, effectively connect patch forests and wetlands between cities, and strengthen the ecological space connection of urban agglomerations. At the same time, actively guide qualified places to vigorously carry out the construction of forest cities and towns, increase the area of urban forests and green spaces, expand environmental capacity and ecological space, and improve urban ecological carrying capacity.

2. Key points for the development of urban agglomerations in southern Sichuan: Strengthen the construction of urban forests with people as the center, and effectively increase the green area of urban (town) forests. Combined with the adjustment of local industrial structure, actively guide cities and regions with good forest resources, strengthen the construction of ecological service facilities such as ecological science popularization education bases, and enhance the supply capacity of forest ecological products and the comprehensive ability of forests to benefit the people.

3. Development focus of urban agglomerations in northeast Sichuan: The focus of this construction is to improve the quality of existing urban forest ecosystems, fully display the characteristics of their respective cities, strengthen the construction of ecological service facilities such as ecological science education bases, and enhance the comprehensive benefit capacity of urban forests.

4. Development focus of Panxi urban agglomeration: The development focus of this region is to summarize and popularize the experience and model of building forest cities in Panzhihua and Xichang, and actively promote the rural construction of forest counties. Strengthen the protection and restoration of forest resources in the mainstream of Yalong River and Anning River, strengthen the construction of road greening landscape corridors, and build a network ecological barrier with forests as the main body.
