This is Zhengzhou metropolitan area and Luoyang metropolitan area. Many people may know Zhengzhou metropolitan area. It is reported that Zhengzhou metropolitan area uses less than the population of Henan province110, and gathers 20% of the population of the whole province and more than 30% of the total economic output. On August 20 19, the Spatial Planning of Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area (20 18-2035) was released, which clearly pointed out that the integration of Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area should be further improved, that is, the development pace of Zhengzhou and counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and Xuchang should be accelerated.
In the latest "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan", it is clearly put forward to promote the urbanization of Zhengzhou-Kaifeng as a breakthrough, build a modern Zhengzhou metropolitan area, and form a powerful power source to promote the economic development of Henan Province and even the rise of central China.
At present, there is a new first-tier city in Henan Province, which is Zhengzhou. It is worth mentioning that almost every list of new first-tier cities includes Zhengzhou, which is enough to see Zhengzhou's comprehensive strength. Among the second-tier cities, Luoyang has been on the list. Luoyang, as the first ordinary prefecture-level city in the central and western regions, has this strength and deserves it.
In addition to Luoyang, Nanyang, Xuchang, Zhoukou, Xinxiang, Shangqiu, Zhumadian and Xinyang all have the strength to become second-tier cities. Judging from the economic aggregate in 2020, these cities are among the top 100 cities in China. Even Xinyang, the lowest city, has 280.568 billion yuan, ranking 98th in the country, while Nanyang ranks among the top 60 in the country with 392.586 billion yuan.
In many people's predictions, Henan province will be the third in the country in the future, second only to Jiangsu and Guangdong. Shandong has always been the largest province in the north. Even after a reduction of nearly one trillion yuan in 20 19, Shandong will still achieve 73 129 billion yuan in 2020, 2 trillion yuan more than today's Henan.
Why do some people think that Henan is expected to catch up with Shandong? The advantage of Henan-population, to be honest, Shandong not only has no advantage, but the latest permanent population of Shandong and Henan Province is 65.438+0.0152.75 million, weighing 99.3655 million. In fact, the advantage of Henan Province lies in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital. As the nine largest cities in China in the future, Zhengzhou is expected to enter the top ten in China, which Jinan can't compare with. With the development of the provincial capital, there is no doubt that the whole Henan Province will take off.
