city planning

Machang Town, as a key town in Jiangsu Province, has its own unique historical and cultural characteristics, heavy industry development foundation and superior transportation geographical location. Based on this reality, Suqian Municipal Party committee and municipal government, standing on the height of urban and rural overall development, take promoting the overall development of Suqian as the goal, list Machang town as the core area of small city development, and set Yitao and Zhouji as two surrounding townships The town was incorporated and Machang new town was established.

Three gas linkage

The first batch of development zones in China are generally located in the suburbs and independent of the main living areas of the city, with single function and mainly with the function of industrial agglomeration. After more than ten years of development, many cities are besieged by industries and parks. Based on the dilemma of the development of the new area, the concept of industry city integration came into being, which is also the signal and symbol of the transformation from functionalism to humanism. In order to give full play to the radiation effect and driving role of small cities, and truly spread the city to farmers, Machang new town adheres to the road of Co Construction of industry and city, and started to construct two parks at the beginning of planning, namely industrial concentration Park and ten thousand mu ecological agriculture sightseeing park. With the goal of "prospering the city through industry" and the method of "three concentration", we should promote the concentration of industry to the park, population to the town, and land to the scale operation, so as to achieve the goal of attracting farmers to settle in the new town and retaining farmers to buy houses in the new town, so as to realize the linkage of three factors.

development strategy

As early as 1988, the Ministry of construction of the people's Republic of China clearly proposed "to build cities and towns with different styles with Chinese socialist characteristics according to different climatic conditions, economic development levels and national customs". According to the idea of characteristic construction, Suqian Municipal Party committee and municipal government have designated nine small cities. Taking Machang as an example, Machang is a famous historical and cultural city, which was well-known in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang and the Anti Japanese War, "Machang made" is a typical feature. Machang new town is based on the development advantages of heavy industry, focusing on improving the agricultural machinery processing industry chain. There are many machinery processing enterprises and many wood processing enterprises in Machang Town, such as HangTai Machinery Co., Ltd., Jinniu Machinery Co., Ltd., Jinma Machinery Co., Ltd. Machang new town will continue to deepen its industrial characteristics, implement counterpart investment promotion in attracting investment, and introduce large-scale industrial enterprises into the industrial park to give full play to the advantages of industrial agglomeration. in terms of urban construction, we should pay attention to the qualitative improvement and leap forward development in terms of image and connotation. The competition of small cities is not the scale and comprehensive strength of large and medium-sized cities, but the contrast of characteristic resources and culture, characteristic industries and landscape. In addition to the deepening of the industrial characteristics mentioned above, Machang must focus on building two landscape belts, building centralized residential areas, and improving the city's supporting service facilities, so as to avoid the embarrassment of "one city for one" and show the characteristics and vitality of the new city.
