In this context, the process of urbanization in China is accelerating, and more and more modern cities have been established and successfully entered people's field of vision.
Now China is not only a strong economic city, but also many amazing new first-tier cities. In the development process of each province, the provincial capital cities are the fastest growing or ranked in the top. Therefore, people often compare the capital cities of different provinces, especially Nanjing and Hefei, the capital cities between Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, which are compared with the highest frequency and attract much attention.
At present, Nanjing and Hefei are the focus of the development of the Yangtze River Delta economic circle, and they play a key role in this economic circle, especially in the development of surrounding cities. And geographically, the distance between them is extremely close, especially the development trend of Hefei-Fuzhou Expressway in recent ten years, which has aroused people's interest in comparing the two. However, although it is a comparison, it is actually more about predicting whether Hefei is expected to surpass Nanjing, and if so, how long it will take. So today we will make a comprehensive analysis with you from the aspects of development speed, economic status, culture and education, industrial innovation and so on.
In the latest ranking list of urban commercial charm, Nanjing still ranks among the new first-tier cities, and has successfully accelerated GDP growth by nearly 190% in the past ten years, and the growth rate is in the forefront of the national urban GDP growth rate. You know, Nanjing's own economic strength is still good. It broke through one trillion as early as a few years ago, and it will reach148179.5 billion in 2020. Nanjing maintains a high development speed, which naturally puts a lot of pressure on Hefei.
However, the GDP growth rate of Hefei in recent ten years is even more rapid, ranking second in the national urban growth rate with a horrible speed of 27 1.8%, and successfully breaking through one trillion in the new round of evaluation, achieving a result of 1 004572 billion yuan, and successfully narrowing the gap between Hefei and Nanjing by about 15%.
It seems that although the gap between Hefei and Nanjing has not shortened much, it is at least narrowing. Everything is difficult at the beginning. With the current reduction, it is more likely to accelerate the pace of reduction in the future. Moreover, as a threshold, Hefei will undoubtedly achieve better growth after a successful breakthrough. From this point of view, even if Hefei can't successfully surpass Nanjing in the next decade, the gap between the two will be further narrowed, or even comparable.
Ninghe is a key development city in the Yangtze River Delta economic circle, and the important hub of "Belt and Road" has given important strategic development support. Are located in the east, but also can get good development resources. But relatively speaking, Nanjing's geographical position is undoubtedly more dominant, which is not difficult to see from the early railway lines built in China. Almost all important transportation routes will pass through Nanjing, which has been an important transportation hub in China for a long time, while Hefei has only developed in recent years.
Secondly, Jiangsu Province, where Nanjing is located, belongs to the coastal province, which has natural advantages in developing shipping, while Anhui is located inland and cannot develop shipping, so there is a certain gap between river transportation and Nanjing. So from the geographical point of view, Nanjing has great natural advantages.
If we only look at the current economic development strategy, the two seem to be on a par. Although Nanjing was identified as the central city of the Yangtze River Delta economic circle earlier, Hefu followed closely and attached great importance to the construction of the "Belt and Road". But in terms of positioning, Nanjing is obviously much higher than Hefei. There are historical reasons for this. Nanjing laid the foundation as the capital of many dynasties.
On the other hand, Nanjing is also a sub-provincial mega-city, while Hefei is only a prefecture-level I-line big city, so Nanjing obviously wins. Of course, Hefei's urban positioning is not a complete failure. In modern manufacturing, Hefei came from behind and became the modern manufacturing base of China. BOE and other manufacturing industries are located here to ensure its further development.
Nanjing is obviously much higher than Hefei in the quantity and quality of colleges and universities, and it is definitely a key city for the development of education in China. In terms of the number of universities, there are two 985 universities and eight 2 1 1 universities in Nanjing. Nanjing University and Southeast University are famous all over the country, not to mention Hohai University and Nanjing Hangkong University. In recent years, Nanjing has 12 first-class construction universities and 38 first-class construction disciplines.
Although the quality of education in Hefei is good, there is a big gap compared with Nanjing. There are only 1 universities in 985, and there are 2 universities in 21/kloc-0. The Chinese University of Science and Technology supports almost all education. The future development mainly depends on talents, especially in today's rapid development of science and technology. There is no doubt that Nanjing, with its numerous colleges and universities, has more advantages in talent acquisition.
In the future, many industries will be transformed into environment-friendly industries, and the environment is very important for future development. Today, with more and more attention paid to health, people are more willing to settle down and develop in a beautiful environment. Although the forest coverage rate in Hefei is also very high, there is a certain gap with Nanjing. After all, Nanjing is called the "Green Capital".
As a shining industry at present and in the future, Nanjing's rich historical background has created many advantages in addition to its natural environment. Just one of the four ancient civilizations in China, many people don't know that the consumption driven by tourism is huge. Therefore, in terms of future industrial development, Nanjing is relatively more advantageous.
Judging from the overall development of the province, the overall economic strength of Jiangsu Province is obviously much higher than that of Anhui Province. It can be said that there is only one Hefei in Anhui at present, and there are Suzhou Wuxi in addition to Nanjing in Jiangsu. Jiangsu can obviously provide Nanjing with better development resources.
Of course, some people may say that there will be distribution, but Hefei is a province. There is some truth in this statement, but one more thing is that Nanjing, which has developed for many years, has successfully formed a surrounding city circle, and other cities are also relying on it to help it develop.
So generally speaking, the development around Nanjing has provided great support for it, and Hefei has the strength of a province.
As can be seen from the above, Nanjing still has greater advantages at present, but who can say for sure in the future? However, with a high probability, it is extremely difficult for Hefei to surpass Nanjing in just ten years.
But no matter who surpasses who, one thing is certain: everyone will make continuous progress, and the progress of both sides will also contribute to the economic development of China as a whole. In essence, everyone belongs to China City Group.
Therefore, although there is a contrast in the future development, Nanjing and Hefei, two provincial capital cities which are very close to each other, are more likely to complement each other and cooperate with each other to further enhance the development speed.
