Not long ago, Suzhou "officially announced" that it was officially among the ranks of megacities, and the country's megacities expanded to 22 cities. According to the latest data disclosed by Shijiazhuang, it means that the "super megacity club" has expanded again.

Per reporter Liu Yanmei

"Shijiazhuang released" WeChat public account news, on September 9, Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang Chaochao presided over a special meeting of the Municipal Party Committee to study the "Specific Measures for the Implementation of the "Opinions on Promoting the Accelerated Transformation of Development Modes of Megacities".

According to the latest statistics of the public security department, the permanent population of Shijiazhuang urban area is 540.<> million, which has reached the size of the population of a megacity. Zhang Chaochao pointed out that it is necessary to benchmark against the work requirements of megacities, strengthen forward-looking thinking, overall planning, strategic layout, and overall promotion, and accelerate the construction of livable, resilient and smart cities.

According to the Notice on Adjusting the Standards for the Classification of Urban Scale issued by the State Council in 2014, the standards for the division of urban scale are based on the permanent population of urban areas, and cities with permanent population of more than 500 million and less than 1000 million in urban areas are considered megacities; Cities with a permanent population of more than 1000 million in urban areas are considered megacities.

Interpretation: Not long ago, Suzhou "officially announced" that it was officially among the ranks of megacities, and the country's megacities expanded to 22 cities. According to the latest data disclosed by Shijiazhuang, it means that the "super megacity club" has expanded again.

According to the results of the seventh population census, in 2020, the permanent population of Shijiazhuang urban area was 442,39,100. In other words, in about three years, the number of Shijiazhuang increased by nearly <> million.

In recent years, Shijiazhuang has vigorously promoted the construction of a strong provincial capital. In 2021, Hebei issued the "Opinions on Vigorously Supporting the Construction and High-quality Development of the Provincial Capital", proposing to build Shijiazhuang into an important growth pole that drives the high-quality development of the province. Shijiazhuang immediately put forward the goal of "exceeding one trillion yuan in economic aggregate and returning to the top 2025" by 30. At the same time, as early as the beginning of 2019, Shijiazhuang fully relaxed the restrictions on urban areas and urban settlement, becoming the first city to attract people with a "zero threshold" settlement policy.

With Shijiazhuang's official "promotion", more potential benefits are expected to be released. For example, many views believe that megacities represent not only population levels, but also the allocation of public resources such as land, education, and medical care, and even the tilt of national strategy.

However, urban development has its basic laws, which require not only the development of industries, but also the follow-up of science and technology, culture, service industries, commercial trade, etc. In other words, if the development momentum cannot be supported, it is difficult for the city to be really "big".

It is worth noting that although the permanent population of Shijiazhuang urban area has increased significantly, as of the end of 2022, the permanent population of Shijiazhuang was 1122.35 million, which is slightly lower than the 1123.51 million at the time of the seventh population census. According to Shijiazhuang's latest target, by 2027, the permanent population should reach more than 1150.<> million.

To further attract population agglomeration, the key is to enhance industrial momentum. At present, Shijiazhuang is accelerating the promotion of a new generation of electronic information, biomedicine and other five hundred billion-level industries to become bigger and stronger, and set up a 200 billion yuan leading industry development fund, its determination can be seen. This time, Shijiazhuang also emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen industrial support and enhance the city's core functions and competitiveness.
