Li pointed out that to give full play to its position, advantages and role in the "double cycle", it is necessary to play a key role in the smooth cycle, play a leading role in promoting scientific and technological innovation, and play a demonstration role in deepening reform and promoting development.
Dai Erbiao, deputy director and research minister of Asian Growth Institute (Japan), made an analysis from the perspective of urban agglomeration and metropolitan area. He believes that Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei are all world-class urban agglomerations, but their functions should be properly divided and complemented. For example, the central cities of the three major urban agglomerations should be international and domestic financial centers with their own characteristics, which should play a particularly important role in cultivating scientific and technological innovation and promoting domestic industrial development and regional development.
"Beijing should consider the overall development of the country, and financial services should reflect the national political and economic strategy; Other financial center cities should develop the service industry according to the market economy mechanism. Hong Kong is dominated by diversified international financial services, Shenzhen can cultivate innovative industries, and Shanghai's financial center functions can be integrated. " Dai Erbiao said.
Xiao Jincheng, former director of the Institute of Land Development and Regional Economy of the National Development and Reform Commission, also holds a similar view. He also believes that we should play the role of central cities and urban agglomerations, build a modern metropolitan area, and improve the quality of regional development. "The city is the center of the region, the region is the carrier of the city, the region is driven by the city, and the city is supported by the region. The level of regional development depends on the radiation and driving force of central cities to the region. Therefore, it is necessary to build a modern metropolitan area, promote the urbanization of metropolitan areas, and promote the integrated development of urban agglomerations. "
Zhang Xiaoling, a professor at City University of Hong Kong, also said that from the perspective of internal circulation, big cities and urban agglomerations are the most important markets. The imbalance between urban and rural areas needs to consider how to improve efficiency, connectivity, accessibility and communication through long-term coordination and basic innovation. In addition, it is necessary to establish more effective mechanisms such as urban governance, realize the convenient flow of factors and the collaborative sharing of resources, and become a truly world-class urban agglomeration.
