Based on the new starting point of "double ten thousand" and focusing on "scientific and technological innovation + advanced manufacturing", what is the new password for Dongguan to open the urban pattern?
The recently concluded Dongguan Party Congress and dongguan two sessions gave the answer: major platform strategy. Including Songshan Lake Science City, Marina Bay New Area, Water Town Functional Area, and Yinping Cooperation and Innovation Zone, the major platforms will be brave to be pioneers, provoke beams, and become a major engine leading the development of the city; the nine towns in the south will create a model for the deep integration of Shenzhen and Guanzhou, and the total GDP will account for 40% of the city after five years, becoming an important growth pole in the city.
With the major platform strategy as the carrier, Dongguan will deeply participate in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, comprehensively deepen the integrated development with guangzhou and Shenzhen metropolitan areas, and strengthen the integrated linkage development with the two cooperation zones of Hengqin and Qianhai.
In charge of "C position"
The innovative development of Songshan Lake has taken on a heavy responsibility
Dongguan's expectation for Songshan Lake is to accelerate the construction of the comprehensive national science center pilot area and strengthen the radiation drive for the city's innovative development. Specifically, it is necessary to take on the vanguard again in terms of innovation-driven development, the creation of scientific research platforms, and the stimulation of the vitality of "double creation".
In July 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology approved the construction plan of the comprehensive national science center pilot launch area in the Greater Bay Area, and the Songshan Lake Science City was included in the pilot launch area of the comprehensive national science center in the Greater Bay Area, officially upgraded to a national strategy.
Taking this as an opportunity, Songshan Lake has arranged a large number of major scientific and technological facilities to build and land, and has "leveraged" scientific and technological innovation "leverage" with large scientific devices, and is gradually forming a full-chain and all-factor innovation system of "source innovation - technological innovation - achievement transformation - enterprise cultivation".
At present, the spallation neutron source has been put into use, the construction of advanced atassecond laser facilities has been accelerated, the pre-research test platform of the southern light source has been officially launched, and the research results of the Songshan Lake Material Laboratory have been continuously selected as the top ten scientific progress in China and the major technological progress in China, and a number of high-level enterprises have also been gathered.
In the next five years, Dongguan will deepen strategic cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, fully promote the construction of large scientific devices such as the second phase of spallation neutron source and the advanced atassecond laser, promote the open sharing of scientific research facilities to the whole society, strengthen the linkage development with Guangming Science City, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, Nansha Science City, etc., and jointly build a scientific research and innovation cluster in the Greater Bay Area.
At the same time, Songshan Lake Science City has been given a heavy responsibility. Dongguan will promote all town streets to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements such as Songshan Lake Science City, build an innovative pattern of "strategic platform source, town transformation and landing", promote the construction model of innovation and entrepreneurship communities, coordinate a number of low-cost spaces, improve the science and technology incubation chain, create an innovation and entrepreneurship complex that closely integrates scientific research and transformation, and promote the transformation of innovative achievements.
Develop new engines
Marina Bay New Area creates an institutional open highland
Marina Bay New Area is regarded as the first choice for Dongguan to actively connect Hong Kong and Macao to Qianhai and vigorously build an institutional open highland.
From the layout of the transportation network to the landing of industrial projects, from the improvement of urban supporting facilities to the construction of people's livelihood projects, as a new engine leading the development of Dongguan in the next thirty years, a total of 38 projects in Marina Bay New Area have been listed as major municipal construction plan projects and 8 projects have been listed as provincial key construction plan projects.
Since the launch of the "100-day Offensive" action in October 2021, major projects in Marina Bay New Area have been in full swing. Scenic spots and landmarks frequently go out of the circle, and the construction of high-quality public facilities and refined urban management systems is also continuously promoted. With the supporting construction of infrastructure and the landing support of major projects, the outline of the long-term goals of Marina Bay New Area has become clearer: actively docking Hong Kong and Macao, linking Qianhai, and vigorously building an institutional open highland.
In terms of docking Hong Kong and Macao, Marina Bay New Area will further accelerate the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong characteristic cooperation platform, and at the same time take the cracking of the scientific and technological "card neck" problem as the entry point, with the help of Hong Kong and Macao resources, continue to plan and build the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Advanced Manufacturing Offshore Innovation Experimental Zone through multiple channels.
In terms of regional cooperation, Marina Bay New Area will explore integrated development with the Qianhai area, focus on copying and promoting Qianhai's policy list, continue to undertake the former overseas spillover industry resources, and carry out in-depth cooperation with Qianhai in infrastructure interconnection and industrial resources coordination and sharing.
In terms of opening up to the outside world, Marina Bay New Area will focus on promoting the creation of a new area in the Pilot Free Trade Zone, solidly building a high-level comprehensive reform and innovation experimental zone for opening up to the outside world, and carrying out reform and exploration from four aspects: building a new platform for participating in international cooperation, expanding new space for urban development, building an open new industry, and building a new system of international integration.
New paths for development
Traditional manufacturing industry is high-end, green, and digitally transformed
The water town functional area shoulders an important mission: it will be built into a high-quality integrated development demonstration area with water town characteristics.
Among the seven strategic emerging industry bases in Dongguan, the digital economy integration development industrial base and the new energy industry base are all located in the water town functional area. At present, it is accelerating the undertaking of Guangzhou-Shenzhen industrial spillover element resources, promoting the rapid development of digital economy, intelligent manufacturing, modern service industry, etc., promoting the development of traditional manufacturing to high-end, green, digital transformation and upgrading, and gradually building a modern industrial system based on advanced manufacturing.
With the steady advancement of the "overall planning and efficiency increase" work, the deepening reform and innovation of the water town functional area and the overall high-quality development of the area have achieved remarkable results, and the comprehensive economic strength, scientific and technological innovation ability and industrial competitiveness have been steadily improved. Next, the water town functional area will continue to coordinate efficiency in urban construction, scientific and technological innovation, industrial upgrading, environmental optimization and other fields, and accelerate to become a new model for the overall development of the city's areas and a high-quality development business card.

In the next five years, Xiegang Town will transform the two platform advantages of the Silver Bottle Cooperation innovation zone and the Silver Bottle High-end Equipment Industry Base into development advantages, create 3 "super 10 billion-level" industrial clusters, and strive to introduce 8 projects with an investment of more than 1 billion yuan and 2 super leading projects with an investment of more than 5 billion yuan, so as to achieve a "breakthrough of zero" for local listed enterprises. By 2026, R&D will account for 3.5%, and the number of high-tech enterprises will double to exceed 200.
Nine towns in the south
Create a model for the deep integration and development of Shenzhen and Guanguan
The report of the Dongguan Party Congress proposed, "The nine southern towns should take the lead in development and lead development, create a model for the in-depth integration of Shenzhen and Guanzhou, and after five years, the total GDP will account for 40% of the city, becoming an important growth pole in the city." "In the next five years, Dongguan will strive to achieve the comprehensive competitiveness of the economy in the forefront of the country, the total GDP exceeded 1.4 trillion yuan, and strive to form a pioneering development sequence of 2 town streets with a GDP of 100 billion yuan, 3 or more 80 billion town streets, and 5 or more 50 billion town streets."
In order to achieve the above goals, the nine southern towns have strength and confidence. Among them, Chang'an Town is one of the most optimistic town streets that can take the lead in breaking through 100 billion yuan in future GDP.
In recent years, the total economic volume of Chang'an Town has grown rapidly, breaking through the 10 billion mark for consecutive years: gdp exceeded 60 billion yuan in 2018, exceeded 70 billion yuan in 2019, and exceeded 80 billion yuan in 2020. Behind the rapid growth of economic data, it shows a strong driving force for the economic development of industrial manufacturing towns.
Ye Kongxin, secretary of the Chang'an Town CPC Committee, said that the next five years will be a promising period of strategic opportunities for Chang'an, a period of crucial dynamic change and a golden period for the development of various undertakings. Next, Chang'an will focus on the implementation of the "five major projects" and strive to build an intelligent manufacturing center in the Bay Area, a highland for innovative talents, a model for the integration of industry and city, a benchmark for harmonious and good governance, and a city of ecological charm.
Humen Town, which ranks second in GDP, will shoulder new responsibilities with new responsibilities at the new starting point of "double ten thousand" on Dongguan Station.
"Humen accounts for about 8% of the city's area, about 9% of the city's population, and about 7% of the city's GDP," said Jiang Yajun, secretary of the Humen Town Party Committee, saying that as an important economic town in Dongguan, Humen has many significant advantages, but also has shortcomings. ”
Next, Humen Town will go all out to solve the problem, continuously deepen the "five major actions" of building the foundation, shaping the city, strengthening the core, improving quality, and benefiting the people put forward by the town party congress, and strive to achieve new results and achieve new breakthroughs in "doing practical things and opening up a new situation".
