Recently, the transformation of the two rivers and four banks in Chongqing has made great strides. A landmark event is the revival and opening up of Yangguangdao, which is just the horn of this magnificent city towards the future. Ambition? Exposed.

Yangguangdao is the largest Jiang Xindao in Chongqing, located between Mingyue Mountain and Tongluo Mountain on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. This is a control project to transform the four banks of the two rivers.

Its history can be traced back to the 4th century AD, and its cultural heritage is rich and colorful, which can be described as the representative area of Chongqing people's wharf culture since ancient times.

Experts watch the excitement, amateurs watch the doorway. For most people, the reopening of Yangguangdao has added another tourist destination to Chongqing. For me, who has been paying attention to urban development, I have found the direction and determination of Chongqing's urban development from this seemingly ordinary state of affairs.

Core area of two rivers and four banks

Looking around Chongqing, especially the core area along the four banks of the two rivers, you will find that Yangguangdao does not belong to it, it guards the eastern end of the core area, which is the geographical boundary explanation of the transformation scope.

However, in view of its sensitive cultural identity, we seem to be able to read an unusual taste: that is, it may be a model project. What is the focus of the waterfront reconstruction of the Yangtze River? Culture? On the word!

Why culture?

Maybe we need to look sideways. Take Shanghai as an example, its west bank area is now a world-class cultural area, and its full name is Shanghai Xuhui Riverside West Bank Cultural Corridor.

West Bund Cultural Corridor

Although I haven't been to Shanghai for many years, did it ever make sense? Industrial rust belt? The earth-shaking changes still surprise me.

Blessing of art places such as Oil Tank Art Center, Dragon Art Museum, BudiTek Art Museum and West Coast Art Center; The generous layout of the West Coast Media Port, the West Coast Wisdom Valley and the West Coast Financial City has created an impressive international innovative and creative industrial chain with cultural creativity, technological innovation and innovative finance supporting each other.

The best Huangpu River in Shanghai is becoming and has become a world-class art district.

The appearance of Shanghai West Coast Cultural Corridor is no accident. It must meet certain preconditions. We noticed that its transformation time began at 20 10. In that year, Shanghai's per capita GDP reached 73,297 yuan, exceeding 654.38 million US dollars.

What's in development economics? $3,000 theory? The per capita GDP of $3,000 is an important development critical point in economics. It indicates that the economy of this region has reached the level of upper-middle income countries, and the economic development has changed from quantitative to qualitative.

When the per capita GDP reaches $65,438+0,000, the economy of this region will reach the level of high-income countries. At this time, the consumer demand and behavior of residents will change obviously.

One of the important changes is that people's consumption demand in spirit, culture, luxury goods and works of art will explode.

At this time, similar cultural and artistic areas will appear in some densely populated big cities.

South Bank Art District, London

For example, Nan 'an Art District in London, West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, high line park in new york, Kela Wharf in Singapore and so on.

In Chongqing, in 20 19, the per capita GDP just passed the threshold of 1 10,000 USD. The transformation of the two rivers and four banks was officially launched in this year.

Chongqing's world-class cultural district, the artistic center of the future dream, will be born somewhere on the four banks of the two rivers, which is both a subjective pursuit and an objective necessity.

According to the comparison of the established world-class cultural areas in Shanghai, Hongkong, new york and London, we find that they have the following characteristics:

1, all close to the city CBD: Shanghai Lujiazui, City of London, Central, Hong Kong? ;

2. Dubin: Huangpu River, Thames River and Victoria Harbour? ;

3. There is a heavy historical and cultural precipitation;

4. There is a lot of land available for development;

5. There is a clear planning orientation from the beginning.

Put these standards on Chongqing, then what is the future of Chongqing? Dream center? The status of a world-class cultural district will come to the fore. It's a marble peninsula, and it can only be a marble peninsula!

Marble stone itself is one of the three CBD plates in Chongqing, representing the only expansion direction of Chongqing to the south.

A century-old Nanbin Road connects Nanbin Scenic Area, Marble CBD and Marble Peninsula, and also connects Chongqing's past and present. Now, it will firmly move towards the future.

Nanbin Road witnessed the ups and downs of Chongqing in the past hundred years.

There are 460 cultural sites such as Huguishi and Ciyun Temple, and historical and cultural blocks such as Yunshi, Ciyun Temple and Longmenhao also make Nanbin Road the place with the deepest historical and cultural accumulation in Chongqing.

A few years ago, the relocation of foreigner street can be said to be a rainy day and strategic planning, leaving nearly 3000 mu of construction land in the best position of marble peninsula. This also makes the marble peninsula the only area with a large area of land to be developed on the riverside belt around CBD.

The advantages of CBD expansion area, extreme river view, century-old Nanbin Road and nearly 3,000 mu of pure land make Marble Peninsula the best choice for Chongqing's world-class cultural district, without one.

The development of marbles is in full swing, and the construction of a world-class cultural district in Chongqing is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the author's last article about the transformation of the two rivers and four banks, a friend asked me to talk about marbles, and as he wished, he wrote this article about the future of marbles and the future of Chongqing.

I believe that in the near future, we will all see a strong rise of the art world in the marble peninsula; Chongqing world-class cultural district is striding towards us!
