Foshan New City (formerly Dongping New City) is located in the south-central part of Foshan, with Dongping River as the boundary and across Chancheng and Shunde districts. It is surrounded by Tongji Road, Nanhai Avenue-Beijiao Huanzhen West Road, Foshan First Ring South Line and National Highway 325, with a total planned area of 88.6 square kilometers. Foshan New Town, the new center of Foshan's future city, started construction in 2003. Before the provincial games in 2006, key projects such as Dongping Bridge, Century Lotus Sports Center and News Center were completed, and infrastructure projects such as high-quality water supply project, comprehensive pipe trench project and Foshan Park Phase I project were completed. The greening rate reached 40%, and the spatial framework of the core area of the new city was initially formed. In 2007 and 2008, Foshan New Town was repositioned and its planning was adjusted. Since 2009, the second wave of construction has been launched, with a total investment of more than 22 billion yuan. More than ten key projects such as public cultural complex, transportation hub center, business center, "CBD" Area A, Fenjiang Road South Extension, Lingnan Avenue South Extension and Dongping School have been fully rolled out.

20 1 1 The municipal party committee and municipal government will implement the strategy of "strengthening the center", speed up the development and construction of Foshan New Town, and build it into a Guangdong industrial service demonstration zone and a central city with modern Lingnan characteristics. In April, the municipal party committee and municipal government held a mobilization meeting to speed up the construction of Foshan New City, and clearly divided the total planning area of Dongping New City into two levels: key development zones and coordination zones, with the key development zones covering an area of about 26 square kilometers and the coordination zones covering an area of about 62.6 square kilometers. It is required to concentrate superior resources, focus on promoting the construction of key development zones, officially sound the urban construction charge, and give full play to the city's strength to build Foshan New City. In May, Wang Yang, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Committee and secretary of the provincial party committee, and Huang Huahua, governor, led a team to inspect Foshan New Town, and Secretary Wang Yang sent a message to Foshan New Town to build a highland of Lingnan culture and highlight the characteristics of Lingnan water town. On this basis, Foshan New Town has defined the new orientation of planning and development, and will be built into a world-class central city of Foshan, a Guangdong industrial service demonstration zone and a modern Lingnan cultural new city with leading domestic intelligence, strong Lingnan style and strong radiation driving force. Therefore, Foshan New Town put forward the strategic deployment of "three major battles" and "three major construction waves" while making efforts to straighten out the system, mechanism and various relations. 165438+ 10, Dongping new town was officially renamed as "Foshan new town", which better highlighted the development orientation of the new town as "the new center of Foshan in the future", and was more conducive to enhancing its popularity and radiation, thus promoting the construction of the new town.

20 12 is the "implementation year, project year and service year" of Foshan new town construction, which is a "key" stage and a "crucial" stage. Foshan New Town will combine the three-year action plan of the city's urban upgrading, further enhance the planning orientation, step up the "three major construction waves" and "three major battles", improve the transportation network construction and other key tasks, and ensure a substantial breakthrough in development and construction.
