Key cities that can be entrusted with the task of driving the development of surrounding areas
Provincial sub central city usually refers to a province with a stronger comprehensive strength than surrounding cities, second only toprovincial capitalThe city is a certain distance from the provincial capital city (generally 300 kilometers), and has unique resources or industriesregional economiesDevelop key cities with driving capacity.[1]
The purpose of setting up the provincial sub center is to promote the scientific, coordinated and rapid development of the regional economy and rebuild itEconomic growth poleTo reduce the development pressure of provincial central cities;The requirement for the establishment of provincial sub central cities is to have strong economic strength and radiation capacity.[11]

Definition
Key cities driving the development of surrounding areas
Qin Zunwen, the initiator of "Provincial Sub central City"
Provincial sub central cities were first scholars of Hubei Academy of Social Sciences in 2001Qin ZunwenProposed.He proposed that: becauseHubeiThe population is large and the land is wide, the area is narrow in the east and wide in the west, while the provincial capitalWuhanAnd inclined toEastern Hubei, which objectively requiresWestern HubeiEstablish a provincial sub central city as the capital of Wuhan“Setter”。
He believes that in a provinceLocal areasA city that plays a core role in driving economic development can be positioned as a provincial sub central city, whileYichang、XiangyangIf it can play such a role, it can be positioned as a provincial sub central city.
This suggestion was approved and affirmed by Hubei Provincial Party Committee in July 2002.In August 2003, the State Council approved the Urban System Planning of Hubei Province, which clearly positioned Yichang as a provincial sub central city.After that, the CPC Hubei Provincial Committee and the People's Government of Hubei Province continuously issued relevant policies to support the construction of Yichang as a provincial sub central city.
Goal setting
In the early 1990s, Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Government formulatedUrban layoutAnd the development of the "one special five major" strategy: focusing on the development of Wuhanmegacity, and set theMedium-sized cityJingzhou、Huangshi、Xiangyang、Yichang、ShiyanFive cities have developed into big cities.
By 2020, Yichang, Shiyan and Xiangyang will all exceed the "threshold" of large II cities with a built-up area of 120 square kilometers and a non-agricultural population of 1.3 million.So far, the strategic goal of "one special and five major" has been basically achieved. In this caseurban system There should be new layout and development ideas.The population is large and the land is wide, the region is narrow in the east and wide in the west, and the provincial capital Wuhan is inclined to the east of Hubei. Objectively, one or two cities in the western region need to be the "setters" of Wuhan.It is necessary to establish a provincial sub central city while giving full play to the leading role of Wuhan as the provincial central city.
Selection history
Sub central cities in Hubei Province: Yichang, Xiangyang
In September 2003, the Decision of Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government on Strengthening Urban Construction clearly pointed out that Yichang should accelerate the development of provincial sub central city Yichang, give full play to the advantages of location, traffic, surrounding cities and towns, population and industry concentration, optimize and integrate resources, and do a good jobMetropolitan areaThe development planning will realize the rational division of labor and the joint construction and sharing of infrastructure in cities and towns within the region, form a strong group effect, and better play its radiation and driving role in the northwest and southwest regions of the province.
In 2015, the total GDP of Yichang has reached 338.48 billion yuan, and the total local fiscal revenue has reached 33.91 billion yuan. Yichang is a truly provincial sub central city.
The idea and practice of building a provincial sub central city in Hubei has had a certain impact throughout the country, and some provinces have also applied this concept to provincial urban system planning and urban development strategies.
Not all cities above prefecture level can become sub central cities of provinces or larger regions. To become sub central cities, the following conditions must be met:[1]
First: It has strong economic strength and a certain population size.
According to the analysis of statistical data, a real sub central city should not only have a comparative advantage over surrounding cities in terms of economic aggregate, but also have a basic qualification if its economic aggregate is not less than 250 billion yuan (2016 standard), otherwise it is difficult to be called a provincial sub central city (excluding western cities).The total population and the number of immigrants reflect both the local economic strength and the economic vitality of the city. Therefore, the sub central city must be a city with large population and economic scale.
Second: Distancekey cityCan't be too close or too far away.
Too close means that it is difficult to have its own independent radiation range, which is the premise for the establishment of sub central cities.The distance between the central city and the sub central city is more than 300 kilometers.[1]For example, in Hubei ProvinceHuangshiFor a long time, the city was the second largest city in Hubei Province, with many large enterprisesWuhanThe distance is only 80 kilometers, which is absolutely impossible to develop intoHubeiThe sub central city of.Another exampleHunanProvincialZhuzhouCityXiangtan CityThey are all big cities in Hunan Province, and their comprehensive strength is relatively strongChangshaThe distance is only 40 kilometers, and there is no grass under the trees. It is absolutely impossible to develop into a provincial sub central city in Hunan.
According to this definition, only about a dozen cities nationwide can be called standard sub central cities.
In mainland China, it has provincial dual core orMulti-coreTypical provinces are:Eastern regionyesGuangdong、Jiangsu，Central regionyesAnhui[22]、Henan[20]、Jiangxi、Hubei、Hunan、Shanxi, there areShaanxi、Guizhou、Guangxi。These provinces, whether developed areas orless-developed regionsexceptprovincial capitalThere are one or two sub provincial core cities outside the center. The sub core cities and provincial capital cities of these non provincial capital cities are located in moderate locations and have a fairly good economic development level, even surpassing the provincial capital cities in economy.From the geographical distribution of these cities, its provincial sub core cities generally have a good geographical location, generally have a certain distance from the provincial capital, and its own economic and transportation infrastructure is relatively developed, which can play a great role in promoting the economic development of a province.
