In addition to coal, what else is there in Huainan?| City Observation

Editor's note: In the list of resource -based cities of the State Council, there are 12 Yangtze River Delta, of which 9 are in Anhui, namely Suzhou, Huaibei, Luzhou, Huainan, Luzhou, Ma'anshan, Tongling, Chizhou and Xuancheng. In recent years, these cities have embarked on the path of transformation, but from the growth rate of GDP, differentiation has been obvious. Location advantages and disadvantages, historical endowments, strategic goals, transformation paths ... What is difficult to transform in the latter, and what are the experiences of leaders?

In recent years, the fastest and slowest cities in the Yangtze River Delta have been in Anhui, and the GDPs of each city have significantly faults.

Adjacent to the provincial capital Hefei, Huainan, a resource -based city, may be the epitome of this phenomenon.

Status: The rise and fall are due to "coal"

Huainan, a national new energy base, East China Industrial Grain, Anhui, an important industrial city in Anhui. It is located in central Anhui. In 2021, the city's GDP was 145.71 billion yuan, a year -on -year increase of 5.7%, and an average increase of 4.3%in two years. This growth rate ranked third in Anhui, slightly better than Bengbu and Huaibei, and is still lower than the national average.

In the first half of this year, the actual growth rate of Huainan GDP was 1.3%, which was lower than the national average of 2.5%. At the same time, although the value -added of Huainan's secondary industry increased by 0.4%, the added value of industries above designated size decreased by 1.%year -on -year, of which the value -added of the mining industry decreased by 2%.

"Huainan is in the painful period of transformation and development. The growth rate of GDP is not high, which can be understood." Li Jun, a regional economic analyst in Shuangwei Zhiban, told the International Financial News.

Huainan is named after the Huaihe River and developed by coal. With rich coal resources, Huainan once entered the top 30 cities across the country.

"But since 2012, the weakness of the coal industry has directly led to Huainan's economic development in a state of almost stagnation." Li Jun further analyzed, "After 3 years of struggle, Huainan's economic development has not improved significantly. In 2015, Shouxian officially planned When entering Huainan, the idea of ​​Anhui at that time was to make up the shortcomings of the population and region for Huainan as much as possible. "

In Li Jun's view, because of the long -term large -scale excavation of coal, the geology and environment of Huainan have been severely damaged. These irreparable losses are Huainan's pain points. To. Because this requires a large amount of funds and long -term investment. "

Transformation: Whether the non -coal industry can land

"Half of the coal in East China is in Anhui; the coal in Anhui is 70 % in Huainan."

In a word, it vividly depicts the key position of Huainan's coal mining industry.

Public data shows that Huainan is still an important power base in East China. Cumulative coal resource reserves are still 13.807 billion tons. Among the main products output of industrial statistics above designated size, the output of raw coal and coal washing still accounts for overwhelming.

Although the coal industry is still a pillar industry, it is also true that the economic growth of Huainan's economic growth has entered a slow lane, and the industrial transformation and upgrading is imminent.

"Huainan currently has a large number of coal resources, but continuing to rely on coal is not a long -term plan." Li Jun believes that under the actual requirements of de -production capacity and the long -term goal of "dual carbon", transformation is "inevitable."

"As a coal city, Huainan, the capital of East China, the starting point of the first domestic one to transport high -quality energy to Shanghai's high -voltage line, in fact, has made great contributions to the development of the Yangtze River Delta region." Anhui Provincial People's Government's participation, the urban and rural economy of the Anhui Academy of Social Sciences Kong Linggang, director of the institute and researcher, analyzed the reporter of the International Financial News that the mining city will finally reach the turning point of the resource dryness, which requires industrial transformation and urban transformation.

Kong Lingang analyzed that it is necessary to plan to find a suitable continuous industry in advance, which has the upgrading of traditional industries, but also new industries, new formats, and new models. "From the perspective of planning, Huainan City is not too late, but it seems that the power is not enough. In addition, the macro environmental changes have led to a decline in traditional industries, declined contributions, and new industries have not grown up."

At present, Huainan's industrial transformation has been on the road, such as big data, intelligent display, automobiles and components, and other non -coal industries.

"From the perspective of regional integration, Huainan first proposed the same urbanization as Hefei, and the construction of the Hehuai Industrial Corridor was planned in Anhui Province, but the advancement was insufficient and the industrial selection was hesitant." In the development of urban differentiation, there should be more results.

"Taking the big data industry as an example, the big data center is a large energy household. Huainan not only has electricity, but also earlier time to do the big data center. Perhaps, the East Digital and Western Calculation Data Center at the national level should be deployed. Get it, it is worth reflecting on Huainan. "Kong Lingang said.

"Huainan's burden is overweight. For example, the governance cost of a large number of collapses requires a reasonable support policy at the level of the country, the Yangtze River Delta, and Anhui Province." Kong Lingang said, "We have also proposed some options about the non -coal industry. It must be the best, but it seems that there is no better choice to land for the time being. "

Opportunities: Regional coordinated development

There is no doubt that only the "double -move and dual attraction" can be used to eliminate development.

"With the development of investment promotion, there are constantly being put into production in Huainan, and the development of Huainan will become better and better." In Li Jun's view, Huainan is now in green transformation of the non -coal industry, and actively integrates into the city of Heai Huai. The integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has huge potential in the future.

In the context of the integrated strength of the Yangtze River Delta, regional cooperation is becoming more and more close, and it has brought new development opportunities to Huainan. For Huainan, the closer central city is the provincial capital Hefei. "Hehuai Tongcheng" is the main promotion of Huainan in recent years. On this basis, a series of cooperation projects such as Hehuai Industrial Corridor were carried out.

The reporter noticed that the "14th Five -Year Plan" of Huainan City and the 2035 Vision target outline also mentioned the concept of "the sub -center city of Hefei Metropolis District". However, Hefei is still in the process of improving the first level in the province, and it needs to be improved for the leading role and spilling effect on the surrounding.

More direct help may come from Shanghai.

On December 8 last year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Shanghai Suzhe and Zhejiang City Cooperation Cooperation to Assist the Implementation Plan of Northern Anhui City", and 8 cities and districts in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang will cooperate with 8 cities in Anhui. According to the plan, it is Shanghai Minhang District.

As early as October 2020, the Huainan Municipal Government has established a friendly urban area with the Shanghai Minhang District Government, establishing a mechanism for high -level interoperability and coordination and cooperation. According to the cooperation framework agreement, the two parties will carry out multi -level strategic cooperation in seven areas such as industrial linkage development, park cooperation co -construction, scientific and technological innovation cooperation, education and health cooperation, green agricultural product cooperation, talent exchange training, and party building exchange cooperation.

For Shanghai Minhang and Huainan, industrial coordination development is an important cooperation. The industries of Minhang and Huainan have a high degree of compatibility. The industries between the two places "join hands" can effectively "get longer and supplement", and make the industrial chain operate efficiently through extension, replenishment, and strong chain.

According to reports, Huainan City has set up Shanghai Minhang Merchants Team to focus on the advantageous industries such as Minhang District's high -end equipment manufacturing, new generation of information technology industry, biomedical industry, and artificial intelligence. Among them, Huainan Yingzhong Intelligent Electronics Terminal Industrial Park with a total investment of 2 billion yuan, Zhongzhe Huainan High -tech Industrial Park with a total investment of 2 billion yuan, Lingtian Automobile Parts Production and Construction Project with a total investment of 330 million yuan, and a total investment of 100 million A number of projects such as the Hilton Hotel Franchise Project have successfully signed a contract.

Kong Linggang believes that Huainan needs to look south, not only to develop with Hefei in the same urbanization, and to develop linkage with Bengbu at the same time. Huainan once proposed "colorful Huainan", and it is recommended that Huainan sort out anymore to pay more attention and determine the results.
