The tough city is about to come out

In 2022, anxiety and uncertainty are like air, full of around us.

From the beginning of the year to the present, it seems that everything is uncertain.

Originally thought that the epidemic should be over, whoever thought of it would rise again. Originally thought that the Russian and Ukraine War could end at most a week, but it was almost half a year now, and there were still no signs of ending.

The recent series of incredible international events, such as the resignation of British Prime Minister, the former Prime Minister of Japan was assassinated, Sri Lanka went bankrupt, Perosi visited Taiwan, etc., which has exacerbated global anxiety and uncertainty.

Although these incidents occur in isolation, they will find that there is actually a very obvious main line behind it to connect it in the background of the global economic recession.

In the age of epidemic, in the era of uncertainty global uncertainty, in the era of anxiety, for each individual, only by continuous learning and continuously consolidating basic skills can we cope with anxiety and uncertainty.

For cities, you need to continuously enhance your toughness in order to have a better rebound.

The complex and changeable international situation, the one -time epidemic situation, the pressure of the economy ... Various risks and challenges make the concept of tough cities emerge!

In order to conform to the new concept and new trend of urban development, carry out the pilot demonstration of urban modernization construction, and reflect the bottom line thinking and strategic vision of "estimating difficulties and thinking more deeply", " The proposal of the 14th five -year planning of the social development and the 2013 remote goal "" "" "" "" ""e proposed to build a" tough city "for the first time, improve the level of urban governance, and strengthen risk prevention and control in the governance of large cities. National new urbanization planning further makes strategic deployment arrangements for how to build tough cities.

The tough city is a city with strong suffering, adaptability, and rapid recovery when facing a inverted environment.

At present, the internal and external environments facing my country's urban development have undergone a lot of changes. The complexity, severeness, and uncertainty of the development environment have increased, and tough cities have therefore become a new paradigm for urban safety development.

Regarding the toughness of the city, the Economic Daily published a discussion of the article "Where to the City", which proposed:

Urban toughness requires a long -lasting construction. It is a complex system engineering, including infrastructure toughness, economic toughness, social toughness, spatial toughness, ecological toughness, governance toughness, etc. It is reflected in safety production, social security, medical and health, ecological environment, food and drug safety There are many fields, involving urban planning, construction, governance and other links.

Foshan city toughness is remarkable

The toughness of the city needs to be accumulated over time, and it is not done overnight.

At present, cities with the best toughness are of course first -tier cities. As far as Shenzhen is concerned, in March and April of this year, the epidemic attack was encountered. Shenzhen responded rapidly, mobilized quickly, and quickly reversed the situation at the cost of static week, and finally calmed down the epidemic.

The recovery and development after the epidemic, Shenzhen has released the "4 30", from rescue for enterprises, reduced burden on citizens, to strengthening market entities, promoting consumption, and promoting the growth of traditional industries and strategic emerging industries.

With this effort, the May of May released by the Shenzhen Bureau of Statistics showed that many economic indicators performed well. For example, industrial growth returned from 2.8%in the first quarter to 8.5%in May.

In terms of urban toughness, Foshan's performance is also remarkable.

It is located in the core area of ​​the Pearl River Delta. Foshan has been closely linked to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Since the epidemic in 2020, although it has repeatedly experienced severe epidemic challenges, under the rapid response of Foshan City, it was quickly controlled.

You know, the number of residents in Foshan approached tens of millions. It is one of the 14 major cities in the country divided by the urban population.

In 2021, Foshan's permanent population was 9,612,600, an increase of 93,800 over the end of the previous year. This increase is ranked 15th in major cities across the country and the first place in the Pearl River Delta.

In the epidemic in all parts of the country, this population increase itself is the best footnote of Foshan's cities.

The population of a large population means a higher level of management. The reason why Foshan is able to quickly extinguish the rapid response and scheduling ability after each epidemic occurs.

In Jin Yong's rivers and lakes, the trick of wins in martial arts lies in fast, martial arts in the world, but it is not broken. Facing the epidemic, Foshan City has a rapidly responding instinct from top to bottom. Quickly and precisely define the prevention and control partition, quickly carry out nucleic acid testing, and run with the virus, each time you can quickly and quickly win.

Because urban governance has the ability to respond and dispatch quickly, Foshan can quickly extinguish the epidemic after each sporadic epidemic appears, ensure the normal operation of the economy and society, and always maintain stable development.

It was also only the regional GDP of 1215.654 billion yuan in Foshan in 2021, an increase of 8.3%year -on -year, and the growth rate ranked among the top in the country.

On July 21, the Foshan Bureau of Statistics released the economic operation of Foshan in the first half of the year. Data show that the GDP of Foshan region in the first half of this year was 574.779 billion yuan, an increase of 2.8%year -on -year, higher than the national (2.5%) and the province (2.0%) level.

The premise of high economic toughness is the management level and response ability of the city in front of the epidemic, and the key to the two is inseparable from the solid medical resources of Foshan and the strong financial background.

Based on the data released by the City Statistics Bureau, the author has sorted out the medical resources rankings of major cities. Foshan has performed well in the nation's ranking in the three core indicators of the number of hospitals, the number of practicing physicians, and the number of beds.

At the end of 2020, Foshan had 131 hospitals, ranking 31st in the country, and in the non -provincial -level city -level city, the number was second only to Suzhou. Having 22,000 practitioners, ranking 28th in the country, in non -provincial -level prefecture -level cities, second only to Suzhou and Wuxi. With 39,000 medical institutions beds, ranking 31st in the country, in non -provincial -level prefecture -level cities, second only to Suzhou and Wuxi.

Not long ago, Foshan Emergency Hospital was officially unveiled. It has built inpatient buildings, hot rib clinics, washing centers and supporting sewage treatment stations and liquid oxygen stations, which will help further enhance the ability of Foshan's public health prevention and control. Foshan has also become a city in China earlier to establish emergency hospitals.

Medical resources are a safe pad for a city to respond to public health incidents. It is the basis and capacity basis for the risk challenges brought about by Foshan that Foshan has repeatedly carried out the epidemic.

Of course, when dealing with uncertain impact, the financial resources of the city are also the key. One of the most critical of Shenzhen's strong toughness is its strong financial resources, which can provide continuous free nucleic acid detection, which can smoothly mobilize epidemic prevention resources.

Due to the different fiscal and tax retention mechanisms, although Foshan has a certain gap with the municipality, provincial capitals, and sub -provincial cities (planned cities), Foshan has a significant advantage in Foshan in the same class.

In 2021, Foshan's general budget revenue was 80.812 billion yuan, ranking 20th in major and medium -sized cities in the Mainland. It is at the same level as the provincial capital Xi'an and Hefei. In non -provincial -level cities, it is second only to Suzhou and Wuxi.

Industrial toughness builds the base of urban toughness

Financial resources, response capabilities, medical resources, etc. have built the defense line of a city under uncertain impact. The solidity of this line of defense is the prerequisite for the strong economic toughness of the city.

With this premise, with a strong industrial toughness, the city economy can quickly recover as soon as possible after a short period of time and pause.

In other words, strong industrial capabilities are the foundation of a city's economic toughness.

Industry is strong and private economy is the common background of several strong cities in the Pearl River Delta, especially Foshan.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Foshan has made a popularity in the country with a strong manufacturing industry. The development of the manufacturing industry has become the urban gene of Foshan.

Another fact that the outside world does not know well is that Foshan's thick manufacturing foundation has also played an important role in the prevention and control of the epidemic. At the beginning of the new crown epidemic in 2020, the supply of masks across the country was extremely short. The strong production capacity and perfect industrial chain make Foshan quickly become a guarantee base for emergency supply supply to Guangdong and even the national mask.

Science students understand that the traits of creatures are determined by genes and environment. Coincidentally, Foshan, which has excellent manufacturing genes, is the highest market -oriented Pearl River Delta.

Manufacturing genes and market -oriented environments have jointly achieved the connotation of Foshan Industrial City. This connotation builds Foshan's strong tough city base.

Foshan's industrial strength ranks in the country's 6th and 2021 industrial added value of 576.834 billion yuan. The value -added of its secondary industry (broad manufacturing) was 680.695 billion yuan, which contributed 56%of the city's GDP.

In the first half of this year, Foshan Industrial Investment drove the city's investment growth rate of 1.2 percentage points. Among them, Foshan's investment in industrial technology reform increased by 11.9%, supporting Foshan's economy to maintain stable operation.

In addition, public information shows that Foshan's private economy contributes more than 60 % of the city's GDP, more than 70 % of taxes, more than 80 % of industrial growth rates, or more than 90 % of enterprises.

These private economy entities weave the rich industrial structure network of Foshan, and have achieved the current situation of Foshan's two legs running quickly.

A leg is a traditional manufacturing industry, such as home appliances, ceramics, furniture, automobiles, aluminum profiles, textiles, etc. The other legs are emerging manufacturing, such as equipment manufacturing, smart home appliances, robots, new materials, hydrogen energy, new energy vehicles, medical health, etc.

Foshan proposed in the recently held municipal party committee to build the "Top Ten Innovative Leading Characteristic Manufacturing Parks" and lead the high -quality development of the manufacturing industry with high -level parks.

Foshan's major measure was quickly responded to financial institutions at all levels. On July 29, the financial support of the high -quality development policy of Foshan's manufacturing industry and the financing docking meeting of the top ten parks were held. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications, National Development Bank Guangdong Branch, China Import and Export Bank, China Agricultural Development Bank Guangdong Branch, China Export Credit Insurance Company and other financial institutions, and more than 30 Foshan local financial institutions actively participated and connected with financing needs. This is a keen and cautious financial institution, a voter for the construction of the top ten manufacturing parks in Foshan, the trust of Foshan manufacturing, and the votes for Foshan's economic toughness!

Ren Er East, southwest, and northwest wind, you must not relax the green mountains! Adhering to the manufacturing industry's unwavering market, maintaining and enhancing the long -term competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, this kind of devout, firm attitude, determination, and action is the key to Foshan's risk challenges and achieved industrial cities. Urban toughness and further key to the end of the pole!
