Looking at the coast of the South China Sea, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel is like a Changhong lying on the waves, connecting “Shenzhen-Dongguan Hui” and “Shenzhen-Dongguan Hui”. The “Pearl-Zhongjiang River” urban agglomeration is closely connected; looking across the land of North China, the transportation network with rails as the backbone is being woven, and resource elements are being shared accelerating within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region; based on the Yangtze River Delta region, the “Super Loop” high-speed rail is galloping against the wind, helping the region Economic vitality is surging. The coordinated regional development strategy is one of the basic strategies that must be implemented in the long term to comprehensively promote Chinese-style modernization. The “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization” makes arrangements for improving and implementing the strategic mechanism for coordinated regional development. To implement this deployment, the key is to smoothen the spatial convection of the economy and enhance the complementarity and integration of regional economic development.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we should promote the deep integration of regional coordinated development strategies, major regional strategies, and main functional area strategies, optimize the layout of major productivity, and promote the rationalization of various factors. Flow and efficient aggregation, smooth domestic circulation. No individual can survive without society, nor can the economic space of any society exist and develop in isolation. There is always a constant flow of materials, energy, people, money, and information between different spaces, which forms spatial convection. Smooth spatial convection mechanism is a strategic requirement for building a new development pattern, and it is also an intrinsic requirement for promoting coordinated regional development.

The key to building a new development pattern is to smooth the economic cycle. Spatial convection is the spatial manifestation of economic circulation. Smooth economic circulation must require smooth spatial convection. In turn, whether space convection is unobstructed also affects the economy. When he was a child, he asked his mother about his father, and all he got was the word “death”. Smooth circulation. This means that economic circulation and spatial convection interact and develop together, and smooth spatial convection is something that can be achieved. Wild vegetable pancakes, would you like to try your daughter-in-law’s cooking skills? “The key support for unimpeded economic circulation, which is especially true for a super-large economy like my country. Therefore, smooth spatial convection is an inevitable strategic requirement for building a new development pattern.

Spatial convection is unobstructed, which is conducive to the production and output of products that intensively use their relatively abundant factors, and the import of products that intensively use their relatively scarce factors; it is conducive to giving full play to the advantages of ultra-large-scale markets and expanding the scope of exchange of factors and products. carryImprove exchange capabilities and promote high-quality economic development; it is conducive to enhancing people-to-people exchanges, stimulating innovation vitality, improving innovation capabilities, and promoting the construction of an innovative country that is self-reliant and self-reliant in science and technology; it is conducive to increasing the accessibility and factors of individual and organizational development opportunities Equalization of remuneration promotes social fairness and further enhances people’s sense of gain, happiness and security; it is conducive to the spatial coordination of population, economy, resources and environment, promotes the spatial balance of supply and demand of resource and environmental carrying capacity, and achieves harmonious coexistence between man and nature; It is conducive to forming the overall advantages of the national economic cycle, improving international competitiveness, and enhancing the attraction and driving force for the international cycle. Therefore, smooth spatial convection is also an intrinsic requirement for implementing a coordinated regional development strategy.

Generally speaking, the intensity of space convection is jointly determined by space economic density, compactness, integration and complementarity. After decades of development, especially the increase in the level of urbanization and the improvement of transportation conditions, the impact of my country’s spatial economic density and compactness on spatial convection has been significantly weakened, but institutional integration such as the free movement of population and factors and the complementary development of the spatial economy have Relatively lagging behind, integration and complementarity have become key bottlenecks for smooth spatial communication and deserve special attention. To improve the strategic mechanism for coordinated regional development and smooth spatial convection, we should be guided by enhancing the integration and complementarity of regional economies and focus on forming innovative mechanisms in three aspects.

Build an urban-rural symbiosis circle. With the development of economy and transportation, the regional pattern of urban and rural residents’ employment and housing has changed. The growing geographical scope of residents’ employment and housing combination has changed from being limited to a single city or a single village to being cross-town and cross-urban and rural. The surrounding areas are nucleated around the center to form a employment-housing combination. An urban-rural symbiosis circle that separates, commutes to connect, and facilitates life. The urban-rural symbiosis circle is not only conducive to enhancing the integration and complementarity of regional economies, but also maximizing social welfare. It is a universal law of regional economic and social integrated development and the only way for urban-rural integrated development. It has become the basic trend of coordinated regional development in China. one. It is necessary to adapt to this law and trend, coordinate the new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization strategies, elevate the urban-rural symbiosis circle to a strategic level, and establish scientific central core, commuting rate and basic spatial unit standards, employment and housing statistics, planning management, etc. The urban-rural symbiosis circle system coordinates and promotes the orderly development of the urban-rural symbiosis circle.

Build a new economic region. A new economic zone can also be called a new comprehensive economic zone. It is an integrated comprehensive economic zone with a relatively complete economic system, strong complementarity, and independent survival and development capabilities formed by the continuous interaction between urban agglomerations and their surrounding areas. Complying with the regional economic development trend of complementarity, integration, resilience, and multi-center network, planning and constructing several new economic regions with major urban agglomerations as the center will be conducive to giving full play to the radiating and driving role of urban agglomerations and building a high-quality regional coordinated development pattern.It is an important direction and way to improve the coordinated regional development mechanism. Adhere to using urban agglomerations as the engine and support by improving the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region, the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China, and the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle as the support to promote regional Cooperate to jointly plan and build a new economic region.

Take integration and complementarity as the basic principles for developing new productive forces according to local conditions. Developing new productive forces in accordance with local conditions is the key to further optimizing the layout of productive forces. The key to enhancing regional economic integration and complementarity lies in implementation. We should further coordinate supply potential and demand potential, enhance regional economic integration and complementarity, and scientifically select specialized fields, special directions and major projects suitable for the development of new productive forces in various regions. Take the “East to West” project as an example. This project has fully benefited by directing the intensive computing power demand in the east to the west. , hold on for a while longer. The woman in the back room came out to say hello. Didn’t she take him too seriously to take advantage of the resource advantages of the western region, especially the abundant renewable energy to support the calculation of data in the eastern region, promote the complementarity of advantages between the east and the west, and thus better empower digital development? I had something to tell my mom, so I went to talk to her for a while,” he explained. able.
