In June, Jincheng Lanzhou, the breeze on both sides of the Yellow River slowly, the flowers are red and green; The urban marathon track is kept wide and flat; Under the blue sky and white clouds, millions of Lanzhou people are hospitable. With the efforts of the people of the whole city, the three major improvements of "traffic order, urban and rural environment and back streets and alleys" have achieved remarkable results, which have promoted the standardization, standardization and long-term management of the city. Today's "Lanzhou Blue" is both internal and external, and the transformed western landscape city has opened its arms, waiting for more than 40 thousand runners to feel her new look.
Escalating city business cards
20 1 1 In July, the first Lanzhou International Marathon entered the sight of Jincheng people, from the initial 18750 contestants to 32685 the following year, until more than 40,000 people participated. With the constant attention from all walks of life, Lanzhou International Marathon has become increasingly mature. At the same time, this activity also pushed Lanzhou to the world and let the world know about Lanzhou.
Today's glory is hard to remind people of the difficulties of that year. 20 1 1 when Lanzhou started the international marathon, the national marathon was at a low ebb, and only 22 marathon events were held throughout the year. The low participation rate and small social impact make the city marathon encounter a dilemma. How about holding a marathon in a city like Lanzhou?
The first Lanzhou International Marathon was attended by *** 18750 runners, and was awarded as "the best marathon event" and "the marathon gold medal event of China Athletics Association" in the same year. In 20 12, the number of participants reached more than 30,000, a full increase of 1 10,000 over the previous year. In 20 13, 43,000 runners ran on both sides of the mother river. The successful 20 14 Lanzhou International Marathon was rated as "Gold Event" by China IAAF and "Bronze Event" by IAAF.
20 15 Lanzhou international marathon attracted 40029 outstanding marathon runners and marathon enthusiasts from 2/kloc-0 countries and regions such as Ethiopia, the United States and Kenya. Compared with the first marathon, the number of participants only doubled.
20 16 The registration of Lanzhou International Marathon officially started on April 1 1. It only took 36 hours, and the registration of all the events ended, creating the fastest registration record in the history of "Malan".
"The reason why Lanzhou International Marathon stands out in similar events has a lot to do with the participation of the whole people in Lanzhou. This is a very virtuous cycle." Zhang Lei, deputy director of Lanzhou Sports Bureau, said, "In addition, the enthusiastic track where people refuel almost nonstop along the mother river and throughout the whole journey has also become a distinctive feature of Lanzhou Marathon. At the same time, the simple folk customs of the western cities, the magnificent Yellow River landscape, combined with professional competition organization, constitute the unique temperature of Malan. Many runners describe Malan like this. On the running map of China Marathon, Malan is a must-see punch point. "
This year, Malan is seven years old. Throughout these seven years, the pace of "Malan" has become more and more steady. Lanzhou International Marathon not only won the gold medal for five consecutive years, but also upgraded from the original international bronze standard event to the international silver standard event in 20 17. In the TOP 100 list of the most influential events in 20 16 released by China Athletics Association and People's Daily Online, Lanzhou International Marathon ranks fourth in terms of public opinion, event level, project setting, bonus setting, participation and professionalism, with more than 40 latitude indicators, which are characterized by professionalism, enthusiasm, amorous feelings and public welfare.
Urban management of internal and external training
"Day and night are the same, sparrows and crows are the same", "There is no blue sky in summer, and there is no sun in winter" has always been a teasing discourse of many people on air pollution in Lanzhou. The geographical location of two mountains and one river, the windless climate in winter and the economic layout dominated by heavy industry all make the environment of this city face the dilemma of "congenital deficiency". However, the control measures over the years have had little effect, which has also caused many people's fear of pollution control in Lanzhou. Pollution once became a "negative business card" of Lanzhou, which seriously restricted the development of Lanzhou.
After years of comprehensive management, today's Lanzhou has increasingly become a livable and tourist-friendly western landscape city. At the 20 15 Paris World Climate Change Conference, Lanzhou won the "Today's Change Progress Award", which made the world sit up and take notice.
If the control of air pollution is to refresh the external "face value" of Lanzhou, then the "three major rectifications" are to declare war on the internal ills of urban development.
"Driving in Lanzhou is very dangerous. It is obvious that pedestrians are running red lights, but there will still be people running. " Taxi driver Master Liu said frankly.
Ms. Li, who lives in Mars Street, Qilihe District, Lanzhou City, is troubled every morning because her children are late for school, because there are always cars parked at will in the alley of the community where she lives.
"Originally this square is relatively small. You see that the trash can in that corner is full, and the garbage has taken up the place. " Aunt Liu and her square dance lovers "spit" the garbage in the square in the community activity center. "It is exercise, and these garbage smells are sucked into our bodies, which is definitely unhealthy!"
For the problems that people in these cities are eager to solve, the new Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government actively responded to social concerns and responded to the needs and expectations of the masses. 20 17 65438+ 10 1 Lanzhou's six-month "three major rectification actions" on traffic order, urban and rural environment and back streets and alleys kicked off in the expectation of the people.
At the end of 20 16, the 13th Party Congress of Lanzhou and the "two sessions" of Lanzhou clearly put forward that "we should resolutely fight the tough battle of blocking like winning the tough battle of pollution control". To this end, the Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have successively convened a number of excellent domestic design units and relevant departments to listen to opinions and suggestions, and formed a "1+9" scheme to control traffic congestion.
At the same time, Lanzhou City used the whole police force to motivate the whole city and the whole people to move, took extraordinary measures to reinforce the grassroots and various police types to reinforce the traffic police, and transferred 855 other police types to support the traffic police. During the renovation period, the city invested more than 2,700 police officers, and set up 33 renovation responsibility areas and 129 strict duty posts in the main city, which implemented full coverage and zero tolerance for traffic violations. In a short period of three months, the rectification campaign investigated and dealt with 803,000 traffic violations, temporarily detained more than 502 motor vehicles 1027 non-motor vehicles1027, 976 certificates and 498 people were administratively detained.
At the same time, in order to improve the rural sanitation environment vigorously, in 20 17, Lanzhou first included rural cleaning funds in its financial budget, including12.56 million yuan in the municipal budget, and the financial support of all districts and counties was implemented simultaneously for more than 10 yuan, which was earmarked for rural environmental cleaning according to the standard of each agricultural population in the city 10 yuan.
In addition, in accordance with the requirements of "one street and one file", Lanzhou conducted a comprehensive survey of the back streets and alleys in the city, established 927 files for the renovation of back streets and alleys, and made preliminary rectification, which solved some problems such as potholes, incomplete street lights and motor vehicles occupying roads and parking.
Persistent pollution control and vigorous "three major rectifications" have promoted the standardization, standardization and long-term effectiveness of urban management, made Lanzhou's development and change "both internal and external", and let people see a more and more beautiful Jincheng taking the marathon as an opportunity.
The "Malan" effect with wide influence
2065438+On the morning of March 22nd, 2007 10, the registration for the 7th Lanzhou Marathon started, and the on-site registration points in all counties and districts were full at 3pm. Among them, 24,000 "mini" marathoners, mainly Lanzhou locals, became the highlight of the event. Zhang Lei, deputy director of Lanzhou Sports Bureau, said that such high participation is the best "public opinion report" for Lanzhou Marathon to promote national fitness.
Nowadays, there are countless sports organizations established because of marathon. The "Malan Running Group" is one of them. On July 5, 20 15, the running group was formally established. In addition to participating in the marathon, the running group will also run regularly in Lanzhou Marathon Park every Sunday, and all districts will run regularly at least once a week. Driven by this, the running group has rapidly developed from the initial dozens of people to 177 1, and eight sub-groups have been established.
Li Junping, deputy head of Lanzhou Running Group, said: "Malan has changed many people's exercise habits, and more and more people are participating in the national fitness campaign. In recent years, both folk sports and fitness programs and sports population are increasing year by year. In addition to making more and more people fall in love with running, Malan has also driven a large number of people to choose their favorite national fitness activities, such as aerobics and Tai Ji Chuan. "
In addition, Lanzhou actively seeks to develop characteristic sports in many aspects, and has introduced and implemented a number of sports industry projects, especially supporting the development of popular and promising projects such as fitness running, race walking, cycling, water sports, mountaineering, shooting and archery. While sports has become a fashion, "fitness economy" is also popular year by year.
According to the data, during the 20 16 Lanzhou International Marathon Sporting Goods Expo, there were 10 sports industry investment cooperation projects with a total investment of 3.64 billion yuan. In addition, the continuous success of Lanzhou International Marathon has also become a catalyst for the development of cultural tourism industry. More foreign guests came to Lanzhou to appreciate the charm of "the capital of the Yellow River, Jincheng Lanzhou".
After six years in Malan, the model of "sports+cultural tourism" has been well verified in Malan: during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the added value of the cultural industry in Malan increased by 26.08% annually; The number of tourists in Lanzhou has increased fourfold, and the airport throughput has broken through from 3.6 million to100000. The number of catering passengers has doubled, and it is hard to find a room. The total tourism revenue rose from 6.35 billion yuan to 29.093 billion yuan. These data are enough to see the pulling effect of a high-quality marathon brand event on urban economic development.
According to the "Lanzhou National Fitness Implementation Plan (20 16- 2020)" issued by Lanzhou Municipal Government this year, by 2020, Lanzhou will strive to achieve 2 million people who participate in 1 or above physical exercise every week, and the number of national fitness stations will reach 1000, and the per capita sports area will reach/kloc-0.
To this end, Lanzhou is further transforming and upgrading the customs line of the Yellow River, making efforts to build a scenic sports corridor around the mother river, implementing sports centers, marathon parks, sports and cultural squares, riverside fitness trails, bicycle lanes and other projects that benefit the people, improving urban infrastructure and optimizing the comprehensive functions of the city, so that the people can gain a sense of well-being, enhance their sense of happiness, deeply integrate the spirit of sports into the blood of urban development, and make Lanzhou more harmonious, inclusive and civilized.
