Kunming unveils 12-year development plan

By : www.gokunming.com|Updated: 2008-11-07

On August 3, the Kunming government released a comprehensive development plan for the city over the next 12 years.

In the course of the next dozen years, three core areas will be built up:

1. The main urban area, consisting of the Guandu, Panlong, Wuhua and Xishan urban districts;

2. Chenggong new city, located approximately 25 kilometers southeast of the main urban area;

3. The new airport economic zone, which will be northeast of the main urban area.

Kunming will expand primarily to the northeast and southeast, with this phase of growth supported by the construction of the city's first urban rail network.

Road connectivity between the main urban area and outlying towns including Haikou, Kunyang and Jinning will be upgraded to create a transportation network that encircles Dianchi Lake.

Within the main urban area, an urban ecological control belt will be established, consisting of Xishan and Dianchi National Scenic Area. Outside of the city, the Qiaozi Snow Mountain scenic area, Xundian Red Tourism Scenic Area, Jiuxiang National Scenic Area, Stone Forest National Scenic Area, Yangzonghai Tourism and Holiday area and other tourist areas within Kunming municipality will be administered as 'urban ecological scenic controlled area.

Five 'functional zones' within the main urban area will be created, with the area within the second ring road as the center of four other areas to the north, east, south and west. This is what the city plans for each zone:

Center: Public services infrastructure and green space coverage will be improved and population density reduced.

North: Heavily polluting industrial operations will be gradually moved out.

West: Heavily polluting industrial operations will be gradually moved out.

South: With the pending retirement of Kunming Wujiaba International Airport, the area currently occupied by the airport will be redeveloped for urban use. The airport land plus the nearby exhibition halls and Baohai Park will serve as a secondary city center.

At the same time, Dianchi National Scenic Area, Caohai Ecological Park and Daguan Park will be built up into a sports, leisure and tourism area. There will also be extensive residential space in the area, as well as many municipal administrative offices and traffic infrastructure leading out of Kunming.

East: The layout and composition of the Kunming Economic Development Zone will be optimized so that it serves as a more streamlined industrial hub.(By Chris)

昆明市公布12年城市总体规划

8月3日，昆明市政府公布了昆明未来12年城市总体规划。

昆明市将在接下来数年中建三个核心城区：

1. 主城区，包括官渡区、盘龙区、五华区和西山区；

2. 位于主城区东南约25公里的呈贡新城；

3. 位于主城区东北的空港经济区。

城市拓展空间以东南、东北两个方向为主，这一时期发展将主要依托城市米轨线的改造。

对主城区和边远城镇包括海口，昆阳和晋宁的道路连通性进行升级以形成一个环绕滇池的交通网络。

集中西山、昆明滇池国家级风景名胜区为城市生态控制带；集中轿子雪山风景区、寻甸红色旅游风景区、九乡国家级风景名胜区、石林国家级风景名胜区、阳宗海旅游度假区等昆明市重点的风景区为城市生态景观控制区。

规划明确，未来昆明主城区将以二环路为界，划分为二环路以内城区、北部城区、西部城区、南部城区和东部城区五个功能区：

中心城区将提高全市性公共服务设施和绿地比例，降低人口密度。

主城北部城区有污染的二类和三类工业用地将逐步转移外迁；
