In the early 1990s, Chengdu's urban planning was adjusted, and Dongcheng District and Xicheng District were abolished, and Dongcheng District, Xicheng District and jinniu district were re-established as five main urban areas (central urban areas), namely Jinjiang District, Qingyang District, jinniu district, Wuhou District and chenghua district, which were later called "five urban areas".
During the period of 1996, Chengdu High-tech Zone was established, and some areas originally belonging to Wuhou District, Pidu District and Shuangliu District were placed under the custody of the High-tech Zone. High-tech Zone (South Zone and West Zone) has become the sixth central city in Chengdu, which is called "six urban areas" or "five cities and one high".
Development history of Chengdu urban area
Jinniu district, Qingyang District, Jinjiang District, Wuhou District, chenghua district, Shuangliu District, Pidu District, Xindu District, Longquanyi District, Wenjiang District and Tianfu New District of Industrial Park are the downtown areas of Chengdu.
Jinniu district, Qingyang District, Jinjiang District, Wuhou District and chenghua district are the original main urban areas of Chengdu, plus the high-tech zone of industrial park, which is the model of five urban areas plus high-tech zone.
With the continuous development of Chengdu, the urban boundary continues to extend to the periphery. Since Shuangliu County and Pixian County successively withdrew from counties to set up cities, and Shuangliu District and Pidu District were set up, all the areas within the second circle of Chengdu have become municipal districts.
In this way, within the municipal area, Chengdu has the right to directly govern all districts and counties within the second circle for the first time. So all the districts on the second floor of Chengdu, together with the original five districts, constitute the central city of Chengdu.
New central cities include Pidu District, Xindu District, Longquanyi District, Shuangliu District, Wenjiang District and Tianfu New District of Industrial Park.
Chengdu metropolitan area finally formed the pattern of 1 1 region+central city. This change has never happened in Chengdu for thousands of years, which is a milestone.
