Following last year's "upgrade" to a two-way 14-lane high-tech avenue, Liang Yuqiu traveled 10 minutes by car from his home in the Donghu High-tech Zone in Wuhan, Hubei Province, to work in the Gedian Development Zone in Ezhou City.
"In the past, as soon as I heard that our company was in Ezhou, many college graduates from Wuhan universities turned their heads and left. Now that the transportation between the two cities is convenient and the industrial ties are getting closer and closer, public service matters can be 'cross-city', and college students are willing to come. Liang Yuqiu said with a smile.
Wuhan and the surrounding huangshi, Ezhou, Xiaogan, Huanggang, Xianning, Xiantao, Tianmen, Qianjiang and other 8 cities composed of Wuhan city circle, concentrated more than half of the population of Hubei Province, more than 60% of the total GDP, is one of the largest urban groups in the central region. Since last year, Hubei Province has taken the promotion of the "1 + 8" Wuhan city circle and urban development as an important action to implement the national strategy, promote the accelerated rise of the central region and the coordinated development of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
With the development of the same city, transportation is the foundation. Located in the southeast of Wuhan, Ezhou is adjacent to Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone. In May last year, the "Three-year Action Plan for the Development of Wuhan City Circle with The City (2021-2023)" was deliberated and approved, proposing to comprehensively promote the construction of rail transit, railways, highways and other infrastructure in the urban circle to create a one-hour commuting circle. In September last year, the Wuhan City Circle And Urbanization Development Office, jointly established by nine cities, was established in Wuhan, and the construction of 33 intercity "bottleneck roads" and other projects was fully launched. The Gedian section of Wuhan Metro Line 11, the first cross-city subway line in Hubei Province, has also opened for operation, and it takes only 3 minutes from Optics Valley Zuoling to Ezhou Gedian.
At present, the intercity railway from Wuhan to Xiantao, Xianning, Huangshi and other places has been opened one after another, and the 560-kilometer Wuhan City Circle Expressway has been opened to traffic, and neighboring cities have achieved half-hour access; in addition to Ezhou, Wuhan Metro will also extend to many surrounding counties and cities.
The development of the same city, support in the industry. In February last year, Hubei announced the launch of the construction of the Optics Valley Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, with the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone as an important bearing area, linking Wuchang District, Hongshan District and Jiangxia District, and radiating Huangshi, Ezhou, Huanggang, Xianning and other places. Cities around Wuhan "optical core screen end network", automobile manufacturing and services, health and biotechnology and other key industries to take the initiative to exert efforts, extend the chain to supplement the strong chain, through industrial support, synergy, complementary advantages, group development. At present, Ezhou Gedian and Wuhan Optics Valley are accelerating the construction of a 100-square-kilometer photoelectric information industry cluster. There are 131 enterprises on the gedian, and 53 are named "Wuhan".
Science and technology are thriving, and the same chain of industry stimulates new momentum for high-quality development. Huanggang and Wuhan cooperated to build the Optics Valley Huanggang Science and Technology Industrial Park, and joined hands with Wuhan University and other universities to promote scientific and technological innovation; Huangshi took the integration into the Optics Valley Science and Technology Innovation Corridor as a breakthrough to build the country's leading PCB (printed circuit board) industrial agglomeration area; Wuhan-based Changfei Optical Fiber optic cable Co., Ltd. established a fiber preform production and research and development base in Qianjiang...
The development of the same city, the improvement and convenience of residents' lives are the ultimate foothold. Since last year, the 9 cities in the Wuhan City Circle have accelerated the co-construction and sharing of public services, realizing the "cross-city communication" of 319 government service matters and the "one-card universal" of medical, transportation, tourism and other services. Liang Yuqiu went to the Gedian Branch of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see a doctor, and the outpatient fee could be directly settled by using the Wuhan Social Security Card. And her colleagues can also use the Ezhou social security card to take the subway, bus, ferry in Wuhan, swipe the card to borrow books, and enjoy the same treatment as local citizens in Wuhan. In recent years, people's livelihood matters of concern such as medical care and education have been shared in the urban circle. Statistics from the Wuhan City Circle And Urbanization Development Office show that in the six months since its launch, the cumulative number of government service items of "cross-city communication" has reached nearly 200,000.
