From a personal perspective, the urban planning plan proposed by Zhong Yuejun should be quite creative and unique, and it is even more clever than his original idea when he was in Huaiqing.

This old college student who graduated from Tianjin University's architectural design in the early 1980s gradually lost his business after entering politics, but after all, he worked in the construction department for a long time and was mostly involved in business related to architectural design planning. This vision and level are definitely not lacking.

Of course, it is precisely because of its more brilliant and more novelty that this plan seems unrealistic to many people. It completely abandons the reality of Ningling’s old city and creates a new city in Dongjiang District across the river.

In Zhong Yuejun's view, Ningling's old city has its own side that is worthy of preservation, especially the relatively concentrated old neighborhoods in Lizhuang still retain the architectural style originating from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, with strong traditional folk architectural characteristics in the Central and Southern regions, and are of great preservation value.

If the old city renovation is to be renovated gradually, the old city area of ​​Ningling is relatively special. Most of the houses in the old blocks are private property. They have been well maintained for many years. The proportion of dilapidated houses is very low, and the block planning is still good. Once the demolition is really carried out, the cost of demolition and relocation may even be much higher than the infrastructure investment in expanding the new urban area, and it may also bring about a large number of social conflicts.

Secondly, such an old neighborhood with a very local architectural style was really demolished, and the demolition of the same modern buildings would undoubtedly become an ordinary city that is nothing but a common city, which would undoubtedly make Ningling, a city that originally had a unique charm, lose its color.

Zhong Yuejun's consideration of the coordinated development of the city from the perspective of protecting the old style and characteristics of the city made Zhao Guodong very inspiring, and also gave Zhao Guodong a deeper understanding of urban planning development.

Unlike Huaiqing, the old city of Ningling is relatively concentrated, and the old neighborhoods have a large number of buildings that retain the original folk style. Most of these buildings are private property. From the perspective of historical style of protecting old buildings, it is not cost-effective from the economic perspective of demolition alone.

In the words of Zhong Yuejun, perhaps the leaders' vision and vision are becoming increasingly "modern and fashionable". They think that old architectural styles are outdated and outdated, and may even become a big shadow of their political achievements under their rule. They must demolish these "old stains" and build new and beautiful high-rise buildings to meet the standards of "modern city".

Although Zhong Yuejun has very flattering words in his plan to introduce him, Zhao Guodong certainly will not be moved by the superficial articles. He was moved by Zhong Yuejun's idea that a city should have its own unique urban charm, especially the preservation of its own unique historical heritage.

Urban architectural style is undoubtedly the most profound imprint of the historical heritage. Once even this imprint is lost, the urban style will lose its soul. Although this view is a bit biased, it is also thought-provoking.

Although he has not yet made up his mind to adopt Zhong Yuejun's opinion, the balance in Zhao Guodong's heart is already tilting towards Zhong Yuejun's point of view. He decided to have a good chat with Zhong Yuejun on this issue, at least in this regard, there is still a considerable gap between him and Zhong Yuejun.

There are still many details to discuss how to preserve the urban historical style and urban charm while helping promote urban economic development. In Zhao Guodong's view, the plan proposed by Zhong Yuejun was denied by many people in the municipal party committee and government. Even Huang Ling, who has always been quite open-minded, could not shelve it. Naturally, there is their reason.

Zhong Yuejun is still a little interesting, and Zhao Guodong really became interested in the mayor.

As soon as the party congress ended, the other party threw out the long-standing plan and handed it over to himself. What does it mean?

Even though he knew that this plan might attract so much opposition, he still felt that he wanted to use this difficult question to test his courage and perseverance, or did he want to use this matter to trigger conflicts in the team, or did he really think that this job is the most urgent task in the city at present?

Zhao Guodong opened the window, and the humid and hot river breeze that came to his face made him difficult for a while, who had been in the air-conditioned room for a long time, but the river breeze with a slight fishy smell still made him feel his real existence in this city.

The work in front of us is piled up like a mountain, and almost nothing can be put to wait. Everything is very important and every one is urgent. However, if we say that the earth seems to be moving as usual, the people of Ningling are also happy to leave early and return late. This is real life.

The question is, can you stop as yourself?

Obviously, it cannot.

The province's GDP growth rate in the second quarter has already emerged. Huaiqing ranked first in the province, far higher than other cities and cities. Yongliang ranked second afterwards, and Tongcheng, and Andu and Ningling tied for fourth place.

There is still a clear gap between the top five cities in the GDP growth rate. The difference between Huaiqing and Yongliang is about ten percentage points compared with the last three. Huaiqing's year-on-year growth rate is as high as 33%, and Yongliang's growth rate is also as high as 28%, Tongcheng's 21%, and Andu and Ningling's 16%. This shocking comparison made Zhao Guodong feel a little anxious for no reason.

Huaiqing's economic development has entered the fast lane, especially the start of production in March has created a "Hexun speed" of construction, comparable to the "Huaxin Miracle" in Andu High-tech Development Zone.

This company immediately had immediate results, and many other companies that followed, including Elite Technology, Renbao Electronics, Quanta Electronics, etc., will also be put into production one after another. Zhao Guodong estimates that Huaiqing's growth rate will always be at the top of the list in the third quarter and fourth quarters.

The booming rise of the electronics industry will greatly drive the rise of Huaiqing's economy. It is estimated that the annual GDP growth rate may even exceed 35%, which is a speed that is beyond the reach of all prefectures and cities in the province and even the country.

Yongliang is not outdone. As the domestic real estate market gradually heats up, the construction industry in various places is also booming, which greatly boosted Yongliang's dominant industries - building materials and chemical industries. Even the prosperity of Ningling Port's business comes from the export of bulk goods such as Yongliang.

As for the acceleration of Tongcheng's economic growth rate, Sinopec began to develop large-scale natural gas gas fields in Tongcheng last year, which has led to a series of investment in natural gas chemical and equipment industries, which has led to Tongcheng's economic development ushering in a period of rapid growth.

What about Ningling? What should I do with Ningling?

Zhao Guodong supported his hands on the windowsill and stared out the window.

The Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Buildings are located in parallel, both on the bank of the Wujiang River, 2:5 kilometers north of National Highway 915 and 2 kilometers south of the intersection of Yuexiu River and Wujiang River where the Xijiang District Party Committee and District Government are located.

The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government stand in parallel, but there is a small alley that is not wide. The alley is closed, but there are two gateways in the middle that connect the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. A green road connects the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to facilitate the entry and exit of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government leaders and staff on both sides.

Economic development is always the main line. With Ningling's current financial situation, in order to achieve the people's expectations of people's livelihood security projects, it is necessary to increase fiscal and taxation significantly, increasing revenue and reducing expenditures are always better than reducing expenditures.

From a certain perspective, Zhong Yuejun's new urban construction planning plan is also a way to drive the economy and promote tax increase, but the advance investment in infrastructure will put fiscal expenditures in trouble, which seems to be an unsolvable deadlock.

Large-scale investment in infrastructure drives the economy, which in turn promotes a significant increase in tax and non-tax revenue, such as land transfer fees, and fills the fiscal gap. It looks beautiful and reasonable. The problem is that the initial investment is quite huge, and whether it can achieve the expected results is also questionable.

The number of enterprises investing and new enterprises in Ningling Economic and Technological Development Zone and the Henan New District and Lingang New District in Xijiang District have declined significantly, which is a very dangerous signal, especially in the development zone, Henan New District, and Lingang New District still retain a large area of ​​industrial land available for construction, which is worrying.

The growth rate of Ningling's fifth place in the second quarter of 2002 is largely due to the fact that the Gurugou Power Station, the largest key project of Yunling Jinmahe Power Station, was fully launched, the Ningling section of the Anxiang Railway has entered the construction stage, and the Tucheng-Xijiang section and Hualin-Caoji section of the Anxiang Expressway have also entered the full construction stage. These three major construction projects have played a key role. The huge increase in the output value of the construction industry has carried the growth rate of Ningling's GDP in the second quarter, which can barely maintain half of the top five.

Among the growth rates of counties and districts in the city, Zhao Guodong also carefully studied that except for the growth rates of development zones, Yunling County, Hualin County and Xijiang District, which exceeded 16%, other counties were not satisfied, especially Dongjiang District, Caoji County, Fengting County, and Tucheng County, operating at a low level of growth rate of five percentage points lower than the city's average growth rate.

If the impact of several major construction projects is deducted, Zhao Guodong will feel that Ningling is really polarized again, that is, the faster the development pioneers are, and the more backward the development lags are, and even so, the faster the development pioneers are, the more the pressure on Zhao Guodong's shoulders is also on a downward trend.

How to motivate those who develop faster and those who develop harder to catch up is the problem before Zhao Guodong.
