Airport Economy
Since ancient times, the Tongshang Port and the Ancient Tea Horse Road have been relatively prosperous places. The passenger flow, logistics and business flow in Tiannanhaibei gather collisions here, allowing wealth to ferment quickly.
So these years, after roads, railways, and Hainan Airlines, we have been trying to find new growth poles for urban development until the emergence of the “airport economy.”
The so-called airport economy, in layman’s terms, is to build an airport, so that the industries related to air transport will take root in the surrounding areas, drive the employment of regional residents and revitalize the local economy.
At this point, France’s Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam Airport, the Netherlands is a good template, because they prove that an airport can really determine the fate of a region, or even a city.
After the airport became the “new growth pole” of the city, the Lingang Economic Zone began to grow rapidly in China.
You will find that the planning for “airports” and “free trade zones” has followed in recent years. Up to now, there are 12 demonstration zones in the airport, covering the east, middle and west. Inland cities that do not rely on the coastal areas and along the Yangtze River have also received the “days” of the city, such as the airport new city in Xi’an, the air port area in Zhengzhou and so on.
However, the plan is very beautiful, but the landing is very skinny.
“The sky is flying around, the groundwork is not as good as it is.” In other words, China has not yet had a “airport economic zone” that really drives regional industrial development. Everyone is waiting for the “leader” to appear, and this leader is exactly the new Beijing airport that will be put into operation.
The concept of Beijing New Airport has been speculative for several years. 80 billion funds, 7 runways, annual passenger throughput of 130 million passengers, the main steel structure alone reached 42,000 tons (and a tonnage of the Bird’s Nest), and was also selected by the British “Guardian” as the upcoming “New Century Seven” The miracle is the first.
Everyone said that Beijing New Airport is the world’s largest airport. But the big thing I understand is not just the scale, but the historical mission behind it. So what is the shape of the new airport, and what can it bring to us?
born
The birth of the new airport was very tortuous, and the light site was carried out for several rounds.
The last century was about 2-3 rounds. The last round was started in 2006. Until 2008, the relevant scholars demonstrated the results in multiple dimensions. Later in 2012, they were officially approved.The site is at the junction of Daxing and Langfang in Beijing.
Why do you have to go through so many rounds of repetitive scrutiny? In fact, it is to find out what it is for in the end.
In fact, the definition of the new airport at the beginning was to serve the needs of passengers in Beijing and surrounding areas and to share the pressure on the Capital Airport. The data shows that the Beijing Capital Airport has been seriously overloaded since its establishment. Even if the expansion of the T3 and the third runway is completed in 2008, it will still be unable to meet the increasing demand for rapid growth. In 2014, Beijing Capital Airport reached a throughput of 86 million. Since then, it has maintained a rapid growth of 8%-10%, and it is still overload-limited today.
But later, this concept has escalated.
Because if Beijing must build a second airport, there are Yanshan in the north, Taihang Mountain in the west, and the first airport in the northeast. Obviously it will not work, so it can only go south. This coincides with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration strategy. Why not let it play a greater historical role?
Everyone knows that Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, as the third largest urban agglomeration in China, has always been a model of “one big, the city is blood supply”, and it is farther and farther away from the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, changing its pattern. Hard. what is the reason?
Because Beijing has always been a weak development trend in Beiqiang South, high-quality resources naturally slope to the north, especially the talents gathered in the eight universities in Haidian, and the probability of Beijing’s development to the south is minimal. In this way, Nancheng became the natural “blocking zone” of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei strategy.
Unless at some point in history, use policy to guide public opinion, so that everyone thinks that Nancheng is about to be a rising new city. It is possible to change the pattern.
Opening history, the most valuable opportunity is the 2008 Olympic Games. If the Asian Games Village was set up in the South City, the current South City must be another look, but this historical opportunity has been given to the North City.
Today, the second opportunity point of history has finally arrived.
Others don’t talk about it. In recent years, almost all the newly opened properties in Nancheng will be marked on the location map of the sales office and the access distance of the new airport. The new Beijingers began to gradually recognize the value of the South City.
When the Nancheng veins are opened, Beijing’s core resources will continue to flow to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei triangle area. Talents will accelerate their collection, and the industry will continue to develop and continue to spread to other cities in the surrounding area to form synergies.
Of course, many people are saying that the new airport was born for Xiong’an. This is not the same, because according to the time node, the new airport strategy must precede the establishment of the Xiong’an New District.
