重庆都市圈建设“十五五”实施方案
A joint Chongqing–Sichuan delivery programme organized around commuting, industrial coordination, shared public services and cross-boundary institutions.
Editorial overview
The plan moves the Chongqing metropolitan area from broad spatial strategy to a list of deliverable actions. It combines Chongqing’s central urban area and surrounding districts with Guang’an in Sichuan, using transport, industrial chains, public services and shared rules to reduce the effects of administrative boundaries.
2030 targets
Delivery framework
Rail, expressways, interchange hubs, public transport integration and digitally managed mobility.
A core–periphery production system links high-end functions in central Chongqing with manufacturing and supply capacity in surrounding cities and Guang’an.
Education, health, social security, culture, tourism, ecology and urban governance are treated as metropolitan services.
The plan tests fiscal coordination, joint approvals, common resource allocation, market rules and digital government across administrative boundaries.
Spatial and economic logic
| Central Chongqing | High-end research, headquarters, advanced manufacturing, finance, consumption and other metropolitan functions. |
|---|---|
| Surrounding cities | Manufacturing, component supply and specialized production linked through “headquarters + base”, “R&D + production” and “assembly + supply” models. |
| Guang’an | A cross-provincial integration partner connected through transport, industrial parks, public services, market supervision and digital government. |
| Innovation network | Western China Science City, Liangjiang New Area and national development zones form joint platforms around digital technology, health, materials and low-carbon innovation. |
Implementation
Districts and counties in Chongqing’s main urban area and Guang’an carry the main implementation responsibility. Chongqing and Sichuan departments coordinate policy consultation, projects and annual task lists, while a dedicated Guang’an integration working group supports cross-boundary delivery.
