Hangzhou’s next center is in Linping?

On April 26, the Linping Digital Smart City strategy was released, aiming to create a "new center in the east part of Hangzhou". Linping Digital Smart City was officially identified as a key development area of ​​Hangzhou's seven major cities this year, and has been fully upgraded to a municipal-level strategy.

The construction foundation of Linping Digital Smart City is quite mature. In the area with a total area of ​​38 square kilometers, the three leading industries of fashion, computing power, and new consumption have basically taken shape, and the innovative industrial layout of "two towns and one belt" has been formed.

The north wing of Linping Digital Smart City is Yishang Town, which started construction in 2015. It has gathered more than a thousand brand companies and a large number of top fashion design talents. It has built a national clothing scientific research platform and is a regional model for the development of the fashion industry. In the computing power town in the south wing, it is committed to building a computing power application hub center in the Yangtze River Delta and landing on high-energy platforms such as Zhejiang Turing and Hangzhou High School. The "digital computing model application" industrial ecology is gradually taking shape. The two towns have connected in series a new consumer industry belt supported by leading enterprises such as Yuanwang and Xiuran.

At the same time, in the core start-up area of ​​the Digital Smart City, Qiaosi's comprehensive land remediation and ecological restoration continue to realize the "double agglomeration" of large-scale utilization of construction land and contiguous protection of cultivated land, with nearly 4 square kilometers of developable urban space, divided into The three major sectors of the 1.66-square-kilometer China Resources Coordination Area, the 1.2-square-kilometer Ronghu Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park, and the 1.1-square-kilometer Ronghu Modern Community promote the start-up area to "take shape and be built quickly."

Linping Digital Smart City's "Urban Design Global Bidding" plan was released at the same time, and the international competition for implementation urban design in the core area of ​​Hangzhou Linping Digital Smart City was officially launched, soliciting forward-looking and creative urban design plans from all over the world.

Why choose Linping Digital Intelligence City? This is another strategic layout for Hangzhou’s eastward expansion.

Last year, Hangzhou became the eighth city in China to cross the “2 trillion mark”. From a regional spatial perspective, in the post-"2 trillion" era, what new dynamics and spaces can Hangzhou look forward to? Linping Digital Smart City is a surprise in the east of the city. The 2024 Hangzhou Municipal Government Work Report mentioned that it is necessary to "promote the rapid construction and completion of Linping Digital Smart City and other areas, and create new landmarks in the city."

There is another consideration for Linping Digital Smart City to take over the important task of the city's eastward expansion - after the optimization and adjustment of Hangzhou's administrative divisions in 2021, Linping will become the area closest to Shanghai in Hangzhou and a "bridgehead" to the Yangtze River Delta. Specifically, the integration of the Yangtze River Delta is first of all the urbanization of the metropolitan area. What Linping District needs to do is to integrate Hangzhou and Shanghai at the same time and integrate into the Yangtze River Delta, optimize the deployment of Shanghai-Hangzhou resources, strengthen the industrial growth pole, and become bigger Metropolitan economy.

Last year, Hangzhou proposed a new positioning for Linping as “a bridgehead for deep integration with Shanghai and a demonstration zone for industry-city integration.” On the one hand, Linping takes advantage of the "double hub" of high-speed rail, actively connects with Hongqiao Business District and Lingang Area, coordinates to build a "one core, multiple parks" layout integrating Hangzhou and Shanghai, and continues to strengthen industrial synergy with Shanghai; on the other hand, based on Linping In the future, the development advantages of smart manufacturing industry will be used to accurately connect the development needs of high-energy platforms such as Shanghai Zhangjiang and Lingang Areas using the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, and jointly build iconic industrial chains such as biomedicine, high-end equipment, and industrial Internet with the Yangtze River Delta.

The intersection of "two high-speed railways, four subways, and two intercity lines" can reach Xiaoshan Airport in as fast as 30 minutes and Shanghai Hongqiao in 40 minutes. Linping can be said to be "connected in all directions". On the basis of further strengthening the pioneering article of transportation, Linping will accelerate the construction of the Yangtze River Delta innovation research and development headquarters base this year, make full use of the Yangtze River Delta G60 Zhejiang Science and Technology Innovation Base, actively build the Shanghai-Hangzhou future intelligent manufacturing collaborative development pilot zone, and actively undertake the Shanghai With the spillover of high-quality resources, we actively promote the interaction with industries, enterprises, and talent elements in the Yangtze River Delta region, attract high-quality projects in the Yangtze River Delta in a "double-city layout", and strive to build a new cooperation model of "incubation in Shanghai and transformation in Linping".
