On the afternoon of June 8, North Development Investment Co., Ltd. of China Ordnance Industry Group and China Xinfang Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement, and the two sides will cooperate to build a small town with military characteristics in the Anordnance Industry Science and Technology Industrial Base located in the Economic Development Zone.
Jiangxi is a beautiful land dotted with nearly 2000 small towns.
On June 5438+ 10 last year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced the first batch of national characteristic towns, and Wengang Town of Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province, Shangqing Town of guixi city, Wentang Town of Yichun City and jiangwan town of Wuyuan County were selected.
Two months later, Jiangxi issued the Work Plan for the Construction of Characteristic Towns. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Jiangxi Province will build 60 characteristic towns.
Now, the second batch of towns with national characteristics will be announced soon. What kind of road is Jiangxi taking in the tide of characteristic town construction? For Jiangxi, which is rich in historical and cultural heritage and underdeveloped in economy, what kind of effects and prospects will characteristic towns have?
The "hometown of agriculture" has become a "hometown of characteristics"
Characteristic towns generally refer to established towns that rely on industrial development or non-administrative innovation and entrepreneurship platforms, such as "fund towns" in Hangzhou. At the end of 20 14, Zhejiang put forward the concept of "characteristic town" and quickly built it into a new carrier of industrial transformation and upgrading, which attracted national attention.
Following Zhejiang, various localities have introduced policies and plans to promote characteristic towns. Not only the government has made great efforts to build it, but also private capital has rushed to set foot in the construction of characteristic towns from Alibaba to Huawei, Vanke to Wanda.
According to Yuan, a senior engineer of the Rural Construction Department of the Housing and Construction Department of Jiangxi Province, in fact, Jiangxi has been doing this work for a long time, but the concept of "characteristic town" has not yet been put forward. In 20 10 and 20 13, Jiangxi started to build 28 demonstration towns and 100 central towns, including Bajing Town, Lidu Town, Wentang Town, He Yong Town, He Jiang Town and jiangwan town Town, respectively, to promote the development of characteristic industries. With the support of the government, these towns have developed well. This also laid a good foundation for Jiangxi to build a characteristic town.
The villagers in Xixia Town, Nanchang New District are deeply touched by this.
Xixia used to be a "backcountry" town, and most of the houses were tile houses. Xixia Avenue in the town is also a "bad road" that makes people complain bitterly, with potholes and serious water accumulation in rainy days.
20 12 Nanchang proposed to build a small town with the characteristics of leisure and sightseeing in the city, and Xixia Town was among them with the characteristics of ecological leisure agriculture. Subsequently, Xixia Town fully implemented the construction of characteristic towns, reformed roads, "brushed up" Xixia Reservoir and other landscapes, and planned to build a modern agricultural park of about 20 square kilometers.
The once "big agricultural town" has become a "characteristic town". A villager told reporters about his joy: "We live in a building now, the road has been repaired, and the bus to and from Nanchang has been opened, which has changed a lot and has a feeling of being a city dweller."
Taking characteristic industries as the development engine
If culture is the heritage of characteristic towns, then industry is the important support and development engine of characteristic towns. The biggest feature of China's current industrial layout is imbalance, and resources are excessively concentrated in big cities and megacities. If this phenomenon is left unchecked, it will inevitably lead to the weakening of small and medium-sized cities and the degradation of the functions of small towns. Therefore, no matter from the perspective of balancing industrial layout or saving rural areas, characteristic towns are a strategic point connecting the preceding with the following.
Four towns in Jiangxi Province were selected as characteristic towns in China, and three of them focused on developing tourism.
Wentang Town, located at the foot of Mingyue Mountain in Yichun, was a town with a population of less than 5,000 years ago, mainly relying on agricultural income. However, Wentang Town, with a floating population of more than 20,000 people every day, has become a modern garden-style town integrating tourism, recuperation, entertainment and vacation, and is making every effort to build a model of a characteristic town in Jiangxi.
Different from the above three characteristic towns, the stationery industry is the traditional industry, characteristic industry and pillar industry of Wengang Town. Zhou, who is mainly in charge of characteristic towns in Wengang Town, told reporters that being selected as the first batch of "characteristic towns" in China is both motivation and pressure. Wengang Town will continue to focus on the goal of "a famous cultural town, an important business town, a strong industrial town and a new tourist city" and embark on a characteristic road of "gathering production with the city, prospering the city with production and integrating production with people".
