The State Council has approved a national territorial spatial plan for Wuhan, the capital city of Central China's Hubei province, for the 2021-2035 period, according to an official reply issued on Feb 13.
As an international comprehensive transportation hub, Wuhan is a major city in China's central region and a national historical and cultural city.
As per the reply, by 2035, the total area of cultivated land in Wuhan should be no less than 3.4179 million mu, of which the protection area for permanent basic farmland should be at least 3.1094 million mu, and the red line area for ecological protection should not be less than 794.54 square kilometers.
The reply urged Wuhan to actively integrate into the joint construction of the Belt and Road, deeply participate in the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, support the ecological protection of the Yangtze River, accelerate the development of the central region and promote the coordinated development of the city clusters along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Efforts should be made to accelerate the construction of an urban system with regional coordination and urban-rural integration. Measures will also be taken to improve the quality and stability of the water network ecological system including rivers and lakes and strengthen ecological protection and restoration of the northern mountainous areas.
Moreover, priority should be given to guarantee the space demand for in-depth integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation.
To build a comprehensive urban transport network that is safe, convenient, low-carbon and green, Wuhan is asked to systematically improve its functions as an aviation and railway hub, promote the construction of the shipping center for the middle Yangtze River in Wuhan, fully leverage the role of inland water transportation and support to build Yangtze River's function as a golden waterway.
In addition, the protection mechanism for cultural and natural heritages should be improved, according to the reply.
