In front of Zhao Guodong is a scroll of the long-term planning drawing of Huaiqing City. He is not unfamiliar with this drawing. It can even be said that he has carefully compared it no less than ten times this year. According to the planning of this drawing, he has conducted field inspections along the planned route three times in the past two or three months.

The entire southern area is covered by darker shaded parts, which represents the industrial area. The four of the five golden flowers are mainly distributed in the southeast and southern areas, and are spreading irregularly to the south with Yanduguan as the coordinate center.

To the south of Yanduguan is the family area of ​​the metallurgical machinery factory. The metallurgical machinery factory extends to the southeast in a parallel line. On the east side is the territory of Wuduo Jinhua CNPC drilling and production equipment factory. The scale of the oil drilling and production equipment factory is not too large, only slightly larger than that of the metallurgical machinery factory, and the number of workers is almost the same. It is distributed eastward along Lujiao Lake and Orange River, and belongs to the territory of Qingzhou District.

To the south of the oil drilling and production equipment factory is Huaiqing's largest enterprise - Zhongnan Heavy Machinery Factory. The factory area and the family living area account for nearly eight square kilometers. To the west of Zhongnan Heavy Machinery Factory is another pillar enterprise in Huaiqing - Anyuan Machine Tool Factory.

Starting from the metallurgical machinery factory, the four enterprises of Anyuan Petroleum Drilling and Production Equipment Factory, Zhongnan Boiler Factory, Zhongnan Heavy Machinery Factory and Anyuan Machine Tool Factory formed a semi-arc arc, distributed from the east to the south. Due to the limitations of geological conditions, the factory areas of many of these enterprises are more distributed outside the living area, while the living area is connected in the inner circle.

In addition to the living areas of the five major factories occupying the eastern and southern parts of Huaiqing City, the traditional urban area centered on Yandu Temple extends to the west. National Highway 226 runs from northeast to southwest across Huaiqing City, becoming a traffic aorta in Huaiqing City, and also divides the old city of Huaiqing and the five major factories, forming a clear boundary.

Most of the employees and families of the five major factories in the east and south speak northern dialects and Jiangsu-Zhejiang dialects, while the local people in the west and north speak Huguang Mandarin. Of course, with the development of the times, the trend of intermarriage among the five major factories and local urban residents is increasing, which shows a trend of integration. However, for now, this difference is still quite obvious.

"National Highway 226 currently seems to be a traffic artery in our Huaiqing City, but sooner or later it will become a shackle in our Huaiqing City. Note that I mean Huaiqing City, not Huaiqing City." Xu Qiao stroked the ends of his hair that were blown away by the wind while talking, "You can take a look. National Highway 226 was inserted diagonally and directly crossed our Huaiqing main urban area. Based on the central coordinate of Yanduguan as the benchmark, National Highway 226 cut our entire Huaiqing city into two halves. On one side is the southeastern area mainly composed of the five major manufacturers' family areas and factories, and on the other side is the northwest area mainly composed of some old cities."

The eyes of the city leaders were on the planning map and listened to Xu Qiao's introduction.

"National Highway 226 is now quite amazing, which has had a certain impact on the air quality in our city. Moreover, due to the passage of a large number of transit vehicles, the traffic congestion in this section of the city is becoming increasingly serious, and traffic accidents occur frequently. According to statistics from the Municipal Traffic Police Detachment, in the first half of this year, there were four kilometers of road sections in the city of National Highway 226, with eight traffic light intersections. Three of them were congested during rush hour during get off work, the two were more serious, and the other three were in good condition."

"Mayor Zhao and I once considered whether to build overpasses at several of our main intersections, but after comprehensive calculation and evaluation, we believed that the overpass was too expensive and demolition was large. And the most important thing was that the overpass could only be alleviated for a while and was useless for a long time, especially for our Huaiqing City Master Plan. Therefore, we invited some experts and scholars from the Provincial Urban Planning and Design Institute and the Hujiang Urban Planning and Design Institute to conduct a comprehensive analysis of our Huaiqing City urban planning and district planning, and specifically proposed to consider the actual situation of the main line of National Highway 226, so that we should continue to play the role of its traffic artery, and completely eliminate its development constraints and environmental impact on our Huaiqing City."

"After many field inspections and judgments from all parties, Mayor Zhao and I tend to build a ring road project according to the current model of Beijing and Andu, completely relocate the crossing function of National Highway 226 from our city, and transform the current urban section of National Highway 226 into an ecological landscape avenue in our city."

Xu Qiao's finger fell on the planning map, "Look at it, we initially imagined that it starts from the Dongfeng Ferry in Qingzhou District here. This section of the road is a provincial road leading to Wuchuan. At present, the traffic flow is not large. After moderate transformation, this section can take on the heavy responsibility of diversion. Then the Xiemaqiao turn to the southwest. Except for some sections that we can use, most of this section needs to be newly built. This section is about eight kilometers in total. Considering the geological reasons, we bypassed the Sun and Moon Shuanghu Lake. This may be a little longer, but it will not exceed one thousand meters."

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Xu Qiao's introduction, and subconsciously their eyes and thoughts moved with Xu Qiao's slender fingers.

"Because of historical reasons, our urban planning and construction have always been planned based on the five major factories. Although it is nominally based on Yanduguan as the coordinate center, in fact, everyone knows that the real urban center is the United Club Plaza at the intersection of the living area of ​​the Metallurgical Machinery Factory and the living area of ​​the Central South Heavy Machinery Factory. However, with the changes of the times and the needs of our urban development, we need to gradually move the urban center to the west to the north, because there are better natural environments and more abundant land resources in the north and west, and it is impossible to compare with the southeast when it comes to demolition issues that plague urban construction, so we have basically determined this principle."

"Mayor Xu, I asked a question. I looked at the rough scale of the plan you just drawn up, which was much beyond my expectations. I think the other city leaders here are probably the same as me, right? If you follow your vision, how big will the urban area of ​​Huaiqing be? Does this fit the current actual situation in Huaiqing?"

Lu Qiuchen couldn't help it anymore. He didn't want to have a conflict with Xu Qiao on this issue. First of all, Xu Qiao's reputation was very good. Although he was a member of a democratic party, this not only did not affect her right to speak, but instead had a wonderful help to her influence. Whether it was the original He Zhaocheng or the current Zhao Guodong, whether it was the job she was in charge or the job she was in charge of now, she dared to argue with He Zhao and others face to face.

Moreover, he also knew that Xu Qiao's opinion had been recognized by Zhao Guodong, or even Zhao Guodong's viewpoint. Will this make the relationship between him and Zhao Guodong, which had just eased, become tense again?

But he still decided to ask what happened. After all, this is related to the development direction of Huaiqing in the next few years or even decades, and it will also involve Huaiqing's finance ability. Can such a large urban planning and construction finance be supported? As the executive vice mayor, he has the right and obligation to put forward his own opinions and opinions on this issue.

Lu Qiuchen's question also asked the other deputy mayors about the doubts, especially Gu Xiaopeng's concerns.

He was born as the director of finance and knew the family of the city finance. Although he was the deputy mayor and was not in charge of finance, can the city finance undergo earth-shaking changes in just one month? This is obviously impossible. Not to mention Xu Qiao's outline below, just a few rough strokes from Xu Qiao now show that his plan is grand. How can the city be able to support it?

"Mayor Lu, I know this question is probably a question that all the leaders here are muttering in their hearts." Xu Qiao smiled cheerfully, and she also had a bit of a heroic look.

"Hehe, Mayor Xu, don't say it, I, Lao Qian, are really worried that our city's finances can support such a grand plan in the city. Looking at Mayor Xu's intention to guide the country, I feel that our urban planning may have to be expanded a lot. If we pull it from the Dongfeng Ferry in Qingzhou District, wouldn't we have to put in a considerable portion of the suburbs of Qingzhou? This is a big gap from the previous urban planning." Qian Yuanhui said with a smile.

Judging from the planning map, this is indeed the case. The straight line distance between Dongfeng Ferry and Yanduguan is at least four kilometers. According to Xu Qiao's idea, this ring road clearly means that the areas within this ring road are listed as the future urban planning scope, which is commonly known as the red line area. The land planning and use of the red line area must be unified arrangements in the city. Not only was the northern suburbs of Huaizhou District blocked in, but the area that originally belonged to the northwest suburbs of Qingzhou District was also suddenly hooked in, and this arc even included most of the development zones.

This is just a stroke of Xu Qiaoxian's hand on the north side. Judging from her posture, there may be a considerable piece of it being included in the west side. The problem is that the urban area has suddenly expanded so much. What is the basis, what are the reasons and reasons, and is there any need?

The development plan of a city must not only consider the short-term prospects and long-term vision, but also need to start from reality, especially the speed of local economic development and the population increase demand brought about by the urbanization process. What scientific basis is there for such a great leap forward-looking plan?
