Since this year, China has paid unprecedented attention to the development of digital economy. Some experts pointed out that the digital economy has become the focus of countries around the world to seize new opportunities for development and shape new advantages in international competition. It is also one of the strongest driving forces to stabilize the economy and promote economic transformation. China's promotion with the strategic height of building a digital China indicates that the digital economy has become a real productivity and a driving force for economic development. The outline of the national 14th five year plan released last year has pointed out the direction for the development of China's digital economy. A series of heavy policies will be accelerated, and major cities across the country will pay close attention to the air outlet and step up the planning of major projects. Guangzhou clearly proposed to upgrade the positioning of Pazhou CBD to the carrier status of the core space for the innovative development of Guangzhou's digital economy, take the digital economy as a strategic engine, and help Guangzhou build a national innovation source for the development of artificial intelligence and digital economy. Pazhou West District, with an area of about 2.1 square kilometers, has introduced 22 artificial intelligence and digital economy enterprise headquarters such as Alibaba, Tencent, Fosun, vipshop, Gome and Xiaomi, which plays an important supporting and leading role in helping Guangzhou to become a pilot field for the circulation of digital elements in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, a source of national digital core technology and a new benchmark for the transformation of global digital industry. According to the plan, the future volume of Guangzhou artificial intelligence and digital economy Experimental Zone (hereinafter referred to as "Pazhou Experimental Zone") is equivalent to 13 Pearl River new towns. Reshaping the global economy and urban competition Guangzhou will lead a new round of economic trend According to the data of China information and Communication Research Institute, China's digital economy grew by 9.6% year-on-year in 2020, ranking first in the world. Digital economy accounts for more than 33% of the national economic system. According to the previous prediction of Cao Heping, an economist and member of Guangzhou financial decision-making consulting expert committee, referring to the average growth rate in the past three years, China's digital economy will account for 52.1% of the whole GDP by 2027. At the NPC and CPPCC sessions this year, Lei Jun, Robin Li and Zhou Hongyi were also vocal leaders of the Internet giants, who were fighting for the digital transformation of China's economy. Thanks to the effect of Internet giants such as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, Guangzhou will gradually lead a new round of economic development with the headquarters enterprise settled in Pazhou. In January 2022, the regulations of Guangzhou Municipality on the promotion of digital economy was voted and passed. Guangzhou became the first provincial capital city and national central city to legislate on digital economy in China. According to more statistics, the added value of Guangzhou's digital economy has exceeded 1.1 trillion yuan in 2020. Among them, the number of 5g base stations in Pazhou pilot area ranks first in the province for two consecutive years, and the only international IPv6 root server in South China and one of the world's 25 is built. Combined with the 14th five year plan, it is estimated that the added value of core industries of digital economy will account for 25% of Guangzhou's GDP in 2025. All the data confirm that the digital economy is becoming an important engine of economic growth in Guangzhou. Constructing the spatial map of Guangzhou Science and innovation industry Pazhou leads the new future of Guangzhou Digital Industry In February 2020, the Guangdong Provincial Leading Group for promoting the construction of Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Dawan District proposed that Pazhou would be taken as point C to create a source of AI and digital economy technology innovation and build a spatial pattern of "one river, two banks and three areas". During the "14th five year plan" period, Guangzhou should strengthen the strategic support for scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and build a global benchmark city for digital industry integration. Many important contents of Guangzhou's "14th five year plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "plan") directly point to Pazhou: the construction of Guangzhou's scientific and technological innovation axis refers to Pazhou. The innovation axis connects Guangzhou Knowledge City, Nansha Science City, Guangzhou Science City and Pazhou experimental zone. It will improve industrial planning, infrastructure and living supporting facilities, and gather world-class talent resources, scientific and technological infrastructure, scientific research institutions and scientific and technological enterprises. Pazhou is also mentioned in the construction of world-class digital economy agglomeration area. Pazhou core area (including Guangzhou University City) will rely on major innovation platforms such as the provincial laboratory of artificial intelligence and digital economy (Guangzhou), the National Supercomputing Guangzhou center and leading enterprises of scientific and technological innovation to accelerate technology research and development and industrial introduction, and build a world-class digital economic agglomeration area. When referring to the full development of the core industries of digital economy, the planning has repeatedly mentioned Pazhou. Accelerate the construction of Pazhou national new industrialization industry demonstration base (big data) and Guangdong artificial intelligence Industrial Park; In terms of railway hub and rail transit, it will focus on the construction of Guangzhou Dongguan Shenzhen intercity Pazhou branch line; Key energy security construction projects also include Pazhou comprehensive energy. In the government work report of Haizhu District in 2021, Pazhou Experimental Zone showed a beautiful report card: it was recognized as the national e-commerce demonstration base and the provincial digital creative characteristic industrial park; Pazhou think tank, Pazhou expert advisory committee and artificial intelligence and digital economy industry talent Federation were established; "Pazhou index" was released for the first time; Taking the lead in exploring the data broker system in China and providing a "test field" for the construction of data element market... Haizhu District is taking the high-quality development new highland of Guangzhou as the overall positioning, striving to build a new industrial highland with the integrated development of "digital + Exhibition + headquarters" and form a "Haizhu model" of intellectual property rights. Accelerate the gathering of global high-end talents and capital Pazhou south to create a global living environment As Pazhou moves towards the goal of world-class digital economy demonstration zone, a number of "urban brain" and "urban intelligent complex" will be built successively. With the realization of holographic projection of physical cities into digital space and the enhancement of the ability of sensitive perception, rapid analysis and rapid disposal of urban governance, Pazhou will be built into a leading new smart city in China Great changes will take place in the way of life and social governance. To accelerate the development of digital economy in Pazhou and even Guangzhou, we must strengthen the absorption and carrying capacity of industry and population. In addition to attracting talents from all over the world and creating a globally attractive living environment, urban planning is essential. At present, there are only parks + office buildings in Pazhou core area, and there are no houses at all. In the next two to three years, there will be at least 200000 people working in Pazhou. If a large number of people want to quickly collect and distribute in limited areas, they must accelerate the balance of work and housing with more advanced transportation and more comfortable living models. The 2021 government work report of Haizhu District clearly proposes to speed up the expansion and empowerment of urban areas, improve quality and efficiency, and create a new look of the central urban area. Focus on Haizhu District, which will be supplemented by Pazhou Southern plate to accelerate the trend of job housing balance. Pazhou South Tod, a living model produced in line with urban development, fills the livable needs of Pazhou with the urban planning and construction concept of industry city integration and Tod. The opening of the "two-hour transportation hub" in Hong Kong and Macao will help the government build a clearer understanding of the "two-hour transportation hub" of Hong Kong and Macao, and enhance the opening of the "two-hour transportation hub" in Hong Kong and Macao this year, Build an international scientific and technological innovation center with high quality and the core bearing area of Guangzhou Innovation Cooperation Zone. In this year's government work report, Haizhu District also mentioned how to give play to the leading role of Pazhou experimental zone. Specifically, it will focus on the three pillars of artificial intelligence development of "algorithm, computing power and computing volume", support the construction of low-energy Intelligent Computing Center, establish Pazhou algorithm industry alliance, jointly build algorithm Industry Park, introduce and cultivate high-quality enterprises in the field of algorithm computing power, strengthen the research and development of algorithms and chips, pilot the construction of computing trading and algorithm innovation application platform, and hold algorithm competition activities, Strengthen the industrial core of Pazhou pilot zone and create "China computing Valley". There are various signs that this future city on the South Bank of the Pearl River in Guangzhou is slowly opening a gorgeous picture of infinite reverie from the origin of Dawan district and facing the world.
