The Implementation Plan for Land Reserve in the East Wing of the Airport-based Digital Intelligence Port in Huadu District has recently been approved.

Taking the Airport-based Digital Intelligence Port, a growth pole in the northern Guangzhou, as the core, the project will build a joint reserve mechanism in which the city will provide funds, and the District will collect and store lands, intending to systematically solves the problem of insufficient industrial space and insufficient collection funds, so as to provide continuous development space for industries in Guangzhou's airport area, and improve the level of regional industrial clusters.

Institutional innovation

"Huadu sample" in which the city and the district build land reserve together

It is reported that the biggest highlight of this approved plan is the adoption of the innovative "city-district joint reserve" development model. In the project, funds is coordinated and provided at the municipal level, and the district level is responsible for accurately implementing land acquisition, resettlement compensation and infrastructure supporting construction as planned. This model breaks away from the traditional hierarchical land management framework to effectively solve the difficulties in cross-level coordination, and realize the deep integration of resource advantages at the two levels of city and district. In the future, efforts will be made to effectively improve the allocation of land resources through in-depth linkage, thereby creating conditions for subsequent industrial introduction.

Empower industries

Fixating on the provincial and municipal strategies to create a highland of airport-based intelligent manufacturing

The Implementation Plan adopts the positioning idea of planning industrial platforms by centering on the airport, closely follows the regional industrial upgrading strategy, focuses on high value-added airport-based industries such as biomedicine and health, semiconductors and integrated circuits, and new energy and new energy storage, and carries out accurate industrial adaptability research, including the functional layout of the park, the satisfying of enterprise needs and the temporal planning of full life cycle development, to build a "core engine area" of airport-based industries in northern Guangzhou.

Continuous collection of neighboring lands provides a large-scale industrial land area, which will be built into an airport-based economic demonstration zone with complete industrial chain service capabilities. More than 165 acres of contiguous industrial land will be released to serve the needs of major industrial projects settlement.

Implementation path

Scientific development ensure supply of industrial space

The strategy of "planning guidance, phased collection of land, and synchronized investment promotion" is implemented for the start-up zone to ensure that land supply is accurately matched with industrial demands. Firstly, carry out scientific evaluate and measure to determine the path, promote the implementation in phases, and simultaneously prepare detailed control plans for industrial parks, to ensure the seamless connection between land development and urban planning; secondly, coordinate the infrastructure construction within the scope of the project, and ensure the implementation of the infrastructure construction around the project plot, to enable "start of construction upon land delivery"; and thirdly, promote at the same time investment and land collection, and carry out targeted investment promotion, and plan the introduction of industries in advance, focusing on the "12218" modern industrial system and key layout, and in light of Guangzhou city's coordinated consideration of the existing development foundation, future development space and characteristic advantages of Huadu District.

Regional coordination

Serve the overall strategic planning of the growth pole in northern Guangzhou

The start-up zone is a pioneering project in the development of Guangzhou's northern growth pole, which boasts three key value advantages of "hub-industry-ecology." As the "core engine" of Guangzhou's northern growth pole, its advancement will significantly enhance regional synergy, achieve coordinated connectivity of the transportation hub network. The expressway network surrounding the start-up zone has been well-developed, with multiple high-speed routes already completed, including the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, the Daqing-Guangzhou Expressway, the Pearl River Delta Ring Expressway, the Guangzhou-Lianzhou Expressway, the Huadu-Dongguang Expressway, and Huadu Avenue, which provides access to Baiyun International Airport within 10 minutes and connects to the Guangzhou North Station comprehensive transportation hub, forming a multimodal transport system integrating "air, rail, and road.” It will strengthen the east-west industrial linkage in the northern part of Guangzhou, actively promote the District's integration into the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, further advanced the building of a new pole of industrial radiation in the northern part of the Greater Bay Area, connect the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City to the east, and drive the transformation of traditional industries and the agglomeration of new industries along the routes. It will promote the synergy and linkage of ecological elements, help integration into the ecological picture of Huadu District featuring "one bay, two belts and multiple corridors", and release important regional ecological elements such as "Dalinggu-Gangtou Ancient Village-Liuxi River", to build an "ecological smart valley" intertwined in the blue and green landscape along mountains and rivers.

The reform of the land collection and storage model has started the incremental rise of the industry. The launch of the start-up zone of the east wing of the Airport-based Digital Intelligence Port marks the strategic transformation of Huadu District from "let project wait for land" to "attract industry with land". With further practicing of the city-district joint reserve mechanism, the "Huadu Model" will continue to release institutional dividends and inject strong momentum into Guangzhou's strengthening of the core hub function of the airport economy in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
