How to transform the economy of resource cities

Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province, is a traditional old industrial base due to the rise of coal, first mine, after the city, "the first mine, after Tongchuan". Here are rich in mineral resources, coal, cement chert, refractory clay, ceramic clay, oil shale, of which 48 coal deposits have been found, coal area of nearly 1,300 square kilometers, 1/3 of the city's land area, "the feet are coal". There are so many minerals, doomed to Tongchuan is a typical resource-based city, which makes people both happy and worried: on the one hand, the resources are wealth; on the other hand, after decades of large-scale development, Tongchuan City, many places in the formation of landslides, collapses, mining, subsidence, and other geologic hazards. Also, coal, cement and other mining production brought about by environmental pollution hazards are increasingly visible. "Mountain eat mountain" will have the day of resource depletion, Tongchuan people realize that: resource-based cities must take the road of economic transformation as soon as possible. Tongchuan Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government from 2003 to promote the economic transformation of resource cities as a sustainable development of Tongchuan City, the top priority, after in-depth research to prepare a "Tongchuan City, resource cities, economic transformation of the master plan", which is summarized by the people of Tongchuan "three, six, nine": focus on the implementation of the project-driven, industrial strength, sustainable development and other "three strategies". Sustainable development and other "three major strategies"; highlighting the comprehensive utilization of resources, comprehensive management of the mining area, such as the "six key"; accelerate the construction of aluminum, electricity and coal co-production, tourism and cultural characteristics of the industry cultivation project, such as the "nine projects ". On the "nine projects" in the first "aluminum, electricity and coal co-production project", the mayor Feng Xinzhu explained that: through the new Huaneng Tongchuan power plant to pull coal production, the implementation of the aluminum plant expansion project, so that the production capacity of aluminum ingots to 230,000 tons, forming a new pattern of aluminum, electricity and coal co-production. New pattern, and then develop deep processing of aluminum industry, Tongchuan construction as a national large-scale aluminum, electricity and coal co-production base. The main idea of "Specialty Industry Cultivation Project" is to jump out of the thinking framework of relying on mineral resources for economic development, and to expand tourism, medicine and other emerging industries in accordance with the idea of "not seeking the largest scale, but seeking distinctive features". Through several years of exploration, Tongchuan City, the trajectory of economic transformation is gradually clear, Wu Qianjin, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said: on the one hand, is to extend the traditional advantage of coal, cement and other resources industry chain, as soon as possible to develop subsequent industries, to seek low energy consumption, high value-added; the second is to explore in-depth medicinal Sun Simiao relics of the region, such as the "non-mineral" resource advantages, and actively develop cultural industries, such as tourism, but also to actively develop the cultural industries. Actively develop tourism and other cultural industries, that is, the development of Tongchuan's "new industries"; third, in the coal, cement and other industries to carry out low resource consumption, low environmental damage to the mineral development technology research, the introduction and promotion of **** raw resources integrated development, comprehensive utilization and mine "three wastes "Recycling technology, as far as possible," mending "; Fourth, is" return to the historical debt ", accelerate the past coal development in the formation of more than 200 square kilometers of the comprehensive management of mining subsidence area. Now, these four aspects of the work are in an orderly manner, the near future, Tongchuan will be impressive.
