The core bearing area of the International Communication Center is a key area for protection of historical and cultural cities and an important window area for displaying the image of the national capital. The Master Plan also determined that the total area of the core functional area of the capital is approximately 92.5 square kilometers.
Li Guoping, Dean of the Capital Development Research Institute of Peking University believes that according to the “Master Plan”, the core functional area of the capital includes 92.5 square kilometers of Beijing’s Dongcheng District and Xicheng District. In the core area, there is definitely no problem.
“According to the” Master Plan “positioning of the core area of the capital’s functions, the east-west city is the main load-bearing area, but the capital function is not limited to the east-west city. The capital function should be distributed throughout the Beijing municipality, including any Corner. For example, the major international conference held at the Yanqi Lake International Conference Center in Huairou is also a capital function. The core area of the capital function is only a space that bears the capital function. “Li Guoping believes that it should not be interpreted excessively.
East and West City will no longer prepare separate zoning plans, and may merge into the “central area” in the future?
Actually, it is nothing new to formulate a regulatory detailed plan for the core functional area of the capital, and East and West City will no longer prepare separate zoning plans.
As early as November 2018, CCTV News reported that according to the “Beijing Urban Master Plan (2016-2035) released in 2017 ” implements the requirements of the work plan, and the regulatory detailed planning of the core functional area is being stepped up.
Next, at the press conference of the 15th National People’s Congress of Beijing held on January 14, this year, Shi Weiliang, the chief planner of the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission and the president of the Beijing Municipal Planning Academy, said that the core district’s regulatory detailed planning Led by the Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Commission and jointly prepared with Dongcheng and Xicheng Districts, the two districts will no longer prepare separate zoning plans.
Given that the detailed control plan for the Beijing Sub-Central Center has been approved by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, Shi Weiliang also said that the core area control plan fully draws on the experience of compiling the sub-center control plan. “But the core area has different characteristics from the sub-center. The core area is a completely built-up area, and it is also the core bearing area of the four central functions. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the connection with the central department and strengthen the overall planning from the perspective of ensuring the government’s administrative functions And make planning arrangements. “
Almost a year has passed, and the detailed regulatory plan for the core functional area of the capital has not yet been released. Li Guoping analyzes that it should not be announced yet.
