Four large enterprises, including Zhongxun Post and Telecommunications Consulting and Design Institute, have entered the top 100 comprehensive survey and design strength in China.
(C) the construction of small towns to point to area, more flowers.
First, the policy is perfect, regional linkage, and the construction of satellite cities and small towns presents a new atmosphere. Actively link up with the provincial urban system planning, scientifically plan and rationally distribute, and closely combine the development of township enterprises and rural service industries with the acceleration of urbanization on the basis of the existing 7 satellite cities and 25 key towns. At the same time, improve the planning level of small towns in Zhengzhou, guide the rational and orderly flow of rural labor force, strive to eliminate institutional and policy obstacles that are not conducive to urbanization development, improve service functions, improve the living environment, pay attention to the protection of natural resources and scenic resources, and develop efficient eco-agriculture and leisure tourism, so as to give full play to the role of key towns and demonstration towns.
Second, model demonstration and industry drive, and the construction of key towns has reached a new level every year. In accordance with the requirements of "three-pronged, focused and coordinated development", we will focus on 20 key towns and accelerate the development of key towns with preferential funds and policies. At present, Zhengzhou has 1 national rural urbanization pilot cities, 4 provincial urbanization pilot cities, 1 provincial urban-rural integration planning and construction pilot areas, 9 national key towns, 15 provincial key towns, 1 national ecological balance demonstration zone (longhu town) and 1 national key towns.

(four) administration according to law, optimize the environment, standardize the development of the industry, and promote the progress of the industry.
First, take the promulgation and implementation of the administrative licensing law as the carrier, and gradually deepen the work of governing construction according to law. Throughout the year, combined with the "Fourth Five-Year Plan" law popularization work, we actively studied and publicized the administrative licensing law in various forms, and further carried out the clean-up work of administrative licensing regulations, projects and implementation subjects. Combined with the actual construction work, we formulated four supporting systems in *** 12.
The second is to intensify inspection and punishment to promote market regulation. Accelerate the investigation and punishment of illegal projects and implement the whole process and all-round supervision and management. * * * Supervise 2,280 projects under construction, with an area of 8 1.2 million m2 and a project cost of 6 billion yuan; 63 cases were investigated and handled. Through law enforcement investigation, the phenomenon of going through formalities and evading punishment while constructing was avoided, and many major accidents were curbed.
The third is to strengthen the standardization and rectification of bidding and build an "open, fair and just" construction market. The management, supervision system and operation rules of the tangible construction market have been further improved, the management of the bidding process and bidding agency has been strengthened, and the development and improvement of the computer management program of the tangible construction market have been accelerated, providing a scientific and reliable basis for the online operation of the construction project access transaction program. The bidding rate of this bidding project reached 100%, and the public bidding rate of public bidding reached 100%.
(5) Deepen various reforms and enhance the development vitality of the construction industry.
First, further deepen the reform of state-owned construction enterprises.

The second is to vigorously promote the reform of the survey and design system. In accordance with the principle of "one hospital, one policy and classified guidance", we will further promote the transformation of survey and design units into scientific and technological enterprises and accelerate the reform of property rights system of survey and design units under the commission.
(6) Adhere to both hands and promote the construction of spiritual civilization in the construction system.
The work of building a clean and honest party style has gradually deepened. The city's construction system conscientiously implemented the ten prohibitions, vigorously promoted the openness of government affairs, and improved the anti-corrosion ability of cadres and workers in the whole system. Grasping the leadership in the work, according to the principle of "the top leader takes the overall responsibility, and whoever is in charge is responsible", the objectives are decomposed layer by layer, and the responsibilities are put in place, thus building a * * * management pattern. Significant progress has been made in rectifying and standardizing the order of the construction market, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the demolished, and solving the problem of arrears in project funds. Pay attention to supervision in supervision, clean up and correct disciplinary problems, and earnestly implement the provisions on building a clean and honest party style and self-discipline. In the process of implementation, we should pay attention to rectification, and according to the results of democratic appraisal, constantly improve the service awareness and work quality of the staff, and enhance the overall image of the construction Committee.
3) Zhengdong New District
Zhengdong New District is located in the east of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. It is a new urban area invested and developed by Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government according to the overall planning of Zhengzhou approved by the State Council, in order to implement the strategy of expanding the urban framework, expanding the urban scale and accelerating the process of urbanization and urban modernization. The area starts from the relocated Zhengzhou Airport and relies on Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. From National Highway 107 in the west, to Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the east, to Airport Expressway in the south and to Lianhuo Expressway in the north. The long-term planned total area is about 150km2, which is equivalent to the current scale of Zhengzhou's built-up area (built-up area 132km2, with 260 permanent residents). The development and construction of Zhengdong New District, as a leading project to accelerate the urbanization process in Henan Province, has been included in the daily work by the Henan provincial government as a key project.
According to the completed master plan, the original airport area of Zhengzhou City is planned as the business center area (CBD), and 25 km 2 around the CBD is the key development and construction area in the near future (the starting area of the new area), which will form a business tourism development axis connecting the old and new urban areas. The starting area is about 25km2, which will be connected with the existing urban area by subway and urban light rail. It is not only the core of Zhengdong New District, but also the core of Zhengzhou in the future. The starting area will be based on the city of * * * and the metabolic city, with the culture and natural environment of the Central Plains as the background, forming a new urban area with multiple functions such as office, scientific research, education, culture, commerce and residence. The total land area of the Central Business District is about 2 square kilometers, and the planning includes Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, Henan Art Center, five-star hotel New Zhengzhou Hotel and 60 high-rise buildings. Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center has a total construction area of 300,000 square meters and is built according to the standards of large-scale international convention and exhibition centers. The first phase of Henan Art Center has a building area of 30,000 square meters, including a theater, a film and television center, an art gallery, an art gallery, a concert hall and a rehearsal hall that can accommodate 3,000 people. The new Zhengzhou Hospital has a building area of 20,000 ~ 30,000 square meters, with 300 beds according to the international standard hospital planning. The new Zhengzhou Hotel has a building area of 8 ~ 65438+100000 square meters, with 700 rooms. It is planned to be an international five-star hotel. The other 20 ~ 26th floors include Financial Building, Yuhong Building, Shenma Building, China Great Wall Aluminum Company Headquarters, Labor Building and Zhengzhou Radio and Television Building.
The new planning scheme of Zhengdong New District determines that in the north of CBD, the existing Wadang land will be excavated into a large-scale artificial lake-Longhu Lake, which will be connected with the CBD of the new district by Jinshui River and Dongfeng Canal running through the urban area and become the main landscape of the new district. The water surface area of Longhu Lake is about 7km2, which is equivalent to the area of West Lake in Hangzhou. After the lake is dug in 2003, the clarified Yellow River water will be introduced. As a sub-center of CBD, the surrounding area of Longhu is planned as an international tourism, holiday, cultural education and advanced residential area.
The blueprint of Zhengdong New District has been drawn, and the future is bright. Adhere to high starting point planning, high-level management and high-standard construction, and strive to build Zhengdong New District into a modern new city with perfect facilities, advanced functions, scientific management and elegant environment, the future central area of Zhengzhou, and a window to display the new image of Henan and Zhengzhou in the new century. At present, Zhengdong New District Management Committee is making every effort to promote the construction of infrastructure, exhibition center, art center and other projects in the starting area, and strive to achieve the short-term goal of "appearing in three years and becoming a scale in five years". A modern new city will rise in the east of Zhengzhou.
Longhu: Longhu is the crowning touch in the whole planning, with a planned water area of about 6 square kilometers. According to the legend of the dragon in Central Plains culture and the shape of the lake, it was named Longhu. The area used to be a swamp in history, with low terrain and long-term water accumulation. Now most of them are fish ponds. Longhu district and Jinshui River, Xiong 'er River, Qili River, Jia Luhe and Dongfeng Canal, which flow through the old city, have formed a complete urban ecological water system. According to the special planning of water system, the rich groundwater introduced from the Yellow River, Jia Luhe and Dongfeng Canal is used to form Longhu Lake. The water quality of the lake area can reach the national Class B landscape entertainment standard four times a year, and the circulating drainage of the lake area is used for industrial water and agricultural irrigation in Zhengdong New District.
Longhu? Sub-center of CBD: The peninsula extending to Longhu is the sub-center of CBD, with an area of about 48ha. CBD Sub-center is a bad-shaped city composed of office buildings, hotels and characteristic houses, with a lake in the middle, which is a resort for business, residence, tourism, entertainment and leisure.
CBD and its sub-center are connected by a canal about 3.7km long, with 40-meter-high buildings on both sides, which are mainly used for commerce, culture and residence. Outside the building are 15m and 20m high multi-storey residential areas.
CBD and CBD Sub-center, two refreshing circular cities, are closely connected by picturesque canals, forming the "wishful type" of China traditional culture. This is the totem of Zhengdong New District and the distinctive personality of Zhengdong New District. It will make the citizens living in everything go smoothly, and the businesses that settle in will add auspiciousness.
Central Business District: CBD is located in the old airport area, with an area of about 3km2. It is the core area of Zhengdong New District and the commercial center of Zhengzhou. CBD is a circular city composed of two high-rise buildings, with the inner ring building height of 80m and the outer ring building height of 120m. There is a bustling and comfortable commercial pedestrian street between the two rings. Multifunctional land use modes such as finance, commerce, office, tourism, entertainment, service, information and scientific research make CBD a "24-hour city".
In the middle of the circular building complex is an oval central park, which consists of a central lake, landmark buildings and green spaces. In the oval open central park, there are some landmark buildings, such as the International Convention and Exhibition Center, Henan Art Center and Zhengzhou Hotel. The International Convention and Exhibition Center consists of an exhibition center, a conference center and a multi-function hall. The first phase of the project is about 220,000 square meters. Zhengzhou Hotel is connected with the International Convention and Exhibition Center and is a hexagonal tower with a height of 360 meters. It is a five-star international hotel with a height of 180m. The upper part is a revolving restaurant, observation deck and digital TV tower, with a bird's eye view of Zhengzhou panorama and the surging Yellow River.
The central lake of CBD is connected with the lake park in the sub-center of CBD through canals, and ships and yachts shuttle between them. A circular city with many high-rise buildings will make CBD a unique new city center in the world.
The development and construction of Zhengdong New District is an important measure for Zhengzhou to better cope with the opportunities and challenges brought by China's entry into WTO, adapt to the development trend of global economic integration, actively cooperate with the strategic decision of the country's western development, and implement the provincial party committee and government's plans to steadily promote urbanization, improve infrastructure, optimize ecological environment, enhance cultural taste, and build Zhengzhou into a national regional central city.
The Conceptual Planning Scheme for the Overall Development of Zhengdong New District applies advanced urban planning theories such as "birth city", "metabolic city" and "recycling city" to the overall planning of the new district, which embodies novel creativity and unique style. Zhengdong New District is surrounded by expressway with developed traffic. Ecological corridor barrier, tree-lined; The rivers and lakes set each other off and the blue waves rippled. According to the master plan of Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou in the future will become a charming and distinctive modern city in the world with the concept of "history and modernity, new city and old city, nature and city". I hope it helps you!
