The domestic and foreign merchants attending the meeting are not only interested in the geographical and resource advantages of Caofeidian, which has deep grooves near the sea, shoals backed by land, large oil fields underground and vast hinterland, but also very concerned about the future urban construction concept of Caofeidian introduced by relevant parties.
"In the future, the word' Caofeidian' not only means a big port and an industrial base, but also means a new eco-modern coastal city with international demonstration significance." Such a novel but highly conceptual city definition can not help but arouse people's curiosity; As a demonstration area of scientific development, what kind of city will Caofeidian build? How does this city implement a people-oriented, harmonious and livable Scientific Outlook on Development in its construction?
People-oriented eco-city.
"I heard that the future city of Caofeidian is very beautiful. I will go to Tao Bo to learn more. " On September 16, a couple from Qinhuangdao told reporters that they wanted to invest in the retail industry in Caofeidian in the exhibition hall of the 10th China Tangshan Ceramics Expo.
"After Shougang's overall relocation and oilfield construction are completed, I believe there will be a coastal city with great appreciation potential here in the future." The couple's ideas represent the judgment of a considerable number of investors.
"Caofeidian National Circular Economy Demonstration Zone determines that the future city must be a people-oriented ecological city." In the interview, both the designers of China Urban Planning and Design Institute and the relevant persons of Caofeidian Industrial Zone Planning and Development Bureau said that although Caofeidian New District is a cluster of heavy and chemical industries, its industrial development has the characteristics of circular economy, and its requirements for cities must also conform to the concepts of scientific development, harmony and livability.
"Cooperate with the development and construction of Caofeidian and the construction of large oil fields, and plan to build an eco-city with modern urban functions, high-end service needs and green livability in Caofeidian." Relevant persons from Tangshan Planning Bureau said that based on this concept, the city will fully learn from the development experience of world port cities, absorb the world's most advanced construction concepts, integrate the world's most advanced technical elements, and build in full accordance with the ideas of ecological environmental protection, resource conservation and social harmony and the overall requirements of modernization and internationalization. "For example, the mode of travel emphasizes green travel with public transportation as a priority, pays attention to protecting and restoring urban natural environment such as rivers and wetlands, and advocates a simple lifestyle."
"Circular economy and eco-city are put forward in the context of environmental pollution and excessive consumption of resources. Everyone wants to solve the contradiction between population, resources and environment, and emphasizes the coordination of the relationship between man and nature and the relationship between people. " Relevant persons from Tangshan Planning Bureau explained the significance of eco-city construction.
"Eco-city" is an important concept put forward in the research process of "Man and Biosphere Plan" initiated by UNESCO. 197 1 year, at the 16 session of UNESCO, the concept of "eco-city" came into being, and soon attracted the attention of the whole world. By the end of the 20th century, "eco-city" has been recognized as a 2 1 century urban construction model.
1999 10, the Worldwatch Institute of the United States pointed out in its investigation report "Rebuilding Cities for Humanity and the Earth" that both industrialized countries and developing countries must put their urban planning in the position of long-term coordinated development strategy, and their general direction can only choose the road of ecology.
"An eco-city that conforms to ecological laws should have a reasonable structure and a coordinated relationship. Reasonable land use, good ecological environment, adequate green space system, perfect infrastructure and effective nature protection. " A person from the Tangshan Planning Bureau said this.
It is understood that on June 5438+ 10, 2007, the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government launched the urban planning and design of Caofeidian, and entrusted Tsinghua Urban Planning and Design Institute and other top domestic planning and design units to plan the urban spatial layout.
"Following the concept of coordinated development of ports, port areas and port cities, the space between eco-cities and port areas is moderately separated, which not only leaves enough space for the future development of port-facing industrial zones, but also leaves enough environmental space for urban construction." Relevant persons from the Planning and Development Bureau of Caofeidian Industrial Zone said that in addition to giving full consideration to ecological factors in the urban spatial layout, an index system for the construction of Caofeidian Eco-city covering economic, social and environmental factors was initially compiled, and the indicators were quantified to varying degrees.
A coastal city built on a port.
Just as the gold rush in California created San Francisco, the oil in the northeast wasteland created Daqing, and large ports and oil fields are bound to give birth to new cities along the southern coast of Tangshan.
At noon on September 17, with the last 60-ton fender successfully installed on the No.4 berthing pier, the main body and ancillary facilities of Caofeidian 300,000-ton crude oil wharf project were all completed. Previously, the ore terminal of Caofeidian Port has been put into operation, with an annual throughput of 10 million tons.
"In the future, with the construction of LNG terminal, bulk cargo terminal and container terminal, an international port with an annual throughput of 500 million tons will be built here." On September 13, pointing to the Panamanian ship docked at the ore dock, the staff of Caofeidian Industrial Zone said to the people who came to visit.
The development law of the world port city "the city prospers with the port and the port serves the city" is also confirmed here.
Walking into the Caofeidian Industrial Zone, which is in full swing, the endless stream of construction teams on the construction sites of Shougang Jingtang, MCC Jingtang, PetroChina and other large projects, as well as the small restaurants and supermarkets that flash from time to time, remind tourists of the gathering of popularity here.
"Now there are tens of thousands of people working in Shougang construction site alone, and there will be more next year. Our company has sent a letter to the provincial government asking the relevant departments to negotiate to solve the problem of living security for workers and construction workers on the island next year. " At the construction site of Shougang Jingtang Iron and Steel Company, a person in charge of the company department introduced.
"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 improved. As far as the petrochemical industry is concerned, millions of tons of ethylene are used as raw materials to extend to downstream processing and other links, which creates considerable jobs. "
According to the statistics of relevant departments of Caofeidian Industrial Zone, there are currently 50,000 employees on Caofeidian Island, and it is expected to reach 65,438+10,000 next year. The urban demand of 400,000-500,000 people will be formed in the next 5- 10 years.
Such statistical data have been confirmed by the relevant data of Shougang Jingtang Iron and Steel Company. It is understood that this company alone will have 5,000 to 6,000 full-time employees and nearly 30,000 construction workers working on the island next year due to the commissioning of some projects.
According to the demand analysis of human resources, with the industrial development of Caofeidian Industrial Zone, the proportion of high-educated and high-income people is considerable. All of these people will work in Caofeidian and live in nearby cities, forming a demand for high-end consumption and services such as administration, business activities, higher education and international finance. This has created a demand for modern coastal cities that can provide high-quality life.
"In the future, Caofeidian New City and Tangshan main city will form a' dual-core' structure, pushing the production layout to the coast, and the production factors will gather along the coast." Relevant persons of Tangshan Municipal Committee believe that this is one of the paths to realize the successful transformation of Tangshan, a resource-based city.
Scientific development demonstration city
Entering Caofeidian along the wide and busy access road, not far in front of the "Zero Kilometer" sign, a big sign with the words "National Scientific Development Demonstration Zone" is particularly eye-catching.
On July 29th, 2006, General Secretary Hu Jintao explicitly requested that Caofeidian should be well planned, built and utilized to build a national "scientific development demonstration zone". The entrustment and expectation of the general secretary pointed out the direction for the scientific development and construction of Caofeidian.
For a new city, the first problem is how to solve the land use problem.
This urban construction mode, which does not occupy cultivated land and intensively uses resources, has become the clear goal of Caofeidian's demonstration role.
"At present, the state has very strict control over land. For example, in many southern provinces, available land cannot meet the needs of industrial and urban development. " At the first international seminar on practice and theory in Caofeidian Circular Economy Demonstration Zone, Jiang, deputy director of the Sea Department of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, told the reporter that China's coastal provinces began to use coastal beaches for reclamation to solve the bottleneck problem of land resources.
"Caofeidian Industrial Zone itself was built by blowing sand." Zhao Peng, a regional institute of China Urban Planning and Design Institute, has been engaged in Tangshan master plan and Caofeidian planning and design in recent three or four years. She believes that "restoring and improving the ecology of beaches and wasteland is in line with China's land policy and the concept of global intensive development."
Driving on the highway leading to Caofeidian Port Area, heavy trucks carrying sand and gravel come one after another. Looking through the window, the gray-black dragon is soaring in the far sea-large cutter suction ships roar to wring out the sediment on the seabed, and huge pipes with a diameter of 1 m spray mortars several meters high; After the sediment is removed by water, the beach will become a solid "land" under the pounding of a heavy rammer. In this way, Caofeidian Industrial Zone, which blows sand and fills the sea, has completed the land reclamation project of nearly 60 square kilometers.
Xin Zhichun, director of the Tangshan Municipal Development and Reform Commission, told reporters that there are 1 100 square kilometers of wasteland and beaches along the southern coast of Tangshan. Urban construction does not occupy cultivated land and does not involve land acquisition and demolition.
However, the difficulty of building a new city on a blank wasteland can be imagined.
"Shenzhen was established on the basis of a remote and desolate small fishing village, starting from Shekou Industrial Zone and developing into a modern coastal metropolis." When talking about how to realize Caofeidian's city dream, a person in charge of Tangshan Planning Bureau is not lacking in confidence.
In addition, Caofeidian New Town will actively explore and practice the improvement of saline-alkali land, the utilization of renewable resources, the desalination and recycling of seawater, and the construction of energy-saving and livable buildings.
It is understood that in order to make the new city better shoulder the functional division of labor serving the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area, it will actively open up the regional transportation links between Caofeidian and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. At present, it is planned to build three new expressways connecting Tangshan, Tianjin and Qinhuangdao; Four railways "one horizontal and three vertical" form a regional freight channel.
"With the construction of the intercity high-speed railway around Bohai Sea, the time from Caofeidian to Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan downtown and Qinhuangdao scenic spot will be greatly shortened, which can be controlled within 45 minutes." Xu Demao, director of the Caofeidian Industrial Zone Management Committee, described the convenient transportation network in an interview with reporters.
Highly open international city
"I heard abroad that there is a Caofeidian in Tangshan, China. Let me see if I intend to invest. " On September 16, Mr. Lin from Singapore said this in an interview with local media at the Caofeidian New Town Planning Promotion Conference held at the 10th China Tangshan Ceramics Expo.
At this Tao Bo Conference, 28 projects were signed on site, including 3 foreign-funded projects, with a total investment of 860 million US dollars and contractual foreign investment of 630 million US dollars. In August, 2007, Tangshan Delong Marine Engineering Base, which was jointly invested by Korean CN Shipbuilding Company and domestic enterprises with a total investment of 654.38+0.37 billion yuan, also started construction in Caofeidian.
In order to build a world-class port industrial zone, the development and construction of Caofeidian will surely attract the most powerful and internationally leading large companies and groups at home and abroad to enjoy development advantages and opportunities and take the road of international development. This also determines that the new city based on Caofeidian must be an international city.
"In the context of economic globalization, with the development of the Bohai Economic Circle, Caofeidian has attracted more and more attention from all countries in the world." A person from the Tangshan Municipal Bureau of Commerce said that in recent years, the proportion of foreign investment in Caofeidian has been increasing.
In May 2006, the Institute of Industrial Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences and other institutions jointly launched the list of "China cities with the most investment value in the eyes of multinational companies in 2006", and Tangshan ranked among the top ten "China cities with the most investment potential".
Researcher Jinbei, who is in charge of the research, said in an interview with Tangshan media reporter: "Tangshan attracts the attention of multinational companies because Caofeidian Port, industrial zone and Nanbao Oilfield have great potential and are playing an increasingly important role in the regional economy."
"With the influx of foreign capital, the headquarters, branches or R&D institutions of foreign companies in Caofeidian will be stationed, and the international population will begin to gather in the next decade." According to the investigation and statistics of relevant departments of Tangshan Development and Reform Commission, the internationalization of Caofeidian is by no means passive water.
"Building a highly open, prosperous and civilized international city" and "combining the humanistic needs of different races, colors and cultural backgrounds, building a healthy and integrated international community", it is not difficult to see Tangshan's ambition to turn Caofeidian into a strategic platform facing the world by reading the relevant information of Tangshan Municipal Government.

Dialogue:
Professor Ye of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University:
Developing port cities is very important for Hebei.
On September 14, at the first international practice and theory seminar of Caofeidian Circular Economy Demonstration Zone held in Tanghai, Professor Ye of the Logistics Department of Hong Kong Polytechnic University summarized the elements of modern port city development through the case analysis of international port city development, and answered the reporter's questions about the port development of coastal cities in our province.
News depth: You have repeatedly stressed that port cities are crucial to Hebei's economic development. Why do you say that?
Ye: Judging from the historical laws of world urban development, industrialization has promoted the great development of cities. With the development of large-scale industry and large-scale ship transportation, inland ports are gradually transferred to seaports, and cities are also transferred to coastal areas. When you open the map and look at the long coastline along the eastern coast of China, you will find that every city that occupies an important position in the economic map of China is accompanied by ports, from Shenzhen, Xiamen, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao and Tianjin to Dalian.
In 1960s, the world economy began to enter the era of coastal economy. More than 60% of the world's transportation volume is realized by sea, 80% of the big cities are concentrated in coastal areas, and 80% of the population lives in a geographical space of 200 kilometers along the coast. This trend continues. Similarly, Hebei Province is also experiencing such a development process, so Cang should devote itself to the construction of coastal economic development corridors.
News depth: What do you think is the primary factor for the development of modern port cities?
Ye: First of all, we must have good geographical conditions, such as good natural ports, deep-water passages and relatively strong traffic generating areas, which are also commonly known as economic hinterland. World-famous ports such as London Port and Rotterdam Port all have such characteristics. Ports such as Cangzhou, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao in Hebei Province also have such natural endowment advantages, especially the unique deep-water channel of Caofeidian Port.
News depth: What are the decisive factors?
Ye: There is also the economic and policy environment. For example, infrastructure construction, development strategic planning, local industrial scale, regional logistics and transportation network, government supervision mechanism and management structure.
News depth: The relationship between port and city that we usually understand seems to be the relationship between service and being served, and the relationship between promotion and being promoted. Is that so?
Ye: No, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp are all developed by relying on port trade. Ports and cities are integrated and promote each other. The development of the port has promoted the modernization and internationalization of the city. Based on port logistics, it has gradually developed into an international trade center city where thousands of businessmen gather. The development of the city has enhanced the strength of the port and kept it in the leading position in the fierce world shipping competition. It can be said that modern ports not only promote the growth of urban economy, but also greatly strengthen the radiation and competitiveness of the city and fully improve the industrial structure of the city. The development of the city promotes the development of ports, and the two complement each other.
News depth: So, in the relationship between port and urban development, how to realize benign interaction and common development?
Ye: We should attach great importance to the interactive relationship between ports and cities. The port and the host city promote each other, rise and fall, and coordinate development to form the overall advantage. Therefore, to develop port economy in a region, we should adhere to the guiding ideology of "port prospers the city, port and city are integrated", bring port development into the framework of urban development, adhere to the unity of port planning and urban planning in planning, and form a development trend of port and city integration.
News depth: At present, nearly 20 cities along the coast of China have proposed "revitalizing the city with Hong Kong". The development of coastal cities in Hebei is relatively backward. How to chase?
Ye: Tianjin, Qingdao and Dalian in the north have invested a lot of money in port construction in recent years in order to win the status of the northern shipping center. Ningbo proposed to "complete the triple jump from local inland river ports to national seaports and then to intercontinental ports". There are 33 berths planned to be built in Shenzhen and Guangzhou in the next three years, with a production capacity of16.2 million TEUs. It can be said that the coastal ports in China are developing rapidly, and Hebei should also accurately locate and increase investment in port construction. At the same time, it is necessary to study how to make use of the inherent law of mutual promotion between ports and cities to coordinate the close relationship between them. In my opinion, taking the road of port-city integration is a win-win situation.
