广州、佛山同城化工作一直走在全国前列

广州、佛山地处珠江三角洲核心区域，地域相连、人缘相亲，经济社会发展联系紧密，合作源远流长。近年来，经济社会各领域合作不断深入，同城化工作一直走在全国前列。

 

It takes residents of Foshan less than an hour to reach their workplaces in the southern Chinese metropolis² of Guangzhou, thanks to the intercity subway that facilitates an extraordinary daily commute³.

佛山居民只需不到一个小时就可以到达广州的公司，这多亏了城际地铁让日常通勤更加方便快捷。

 

Approximately 255,000 passengers commute daily between the two cities via subway, accounting⁴ for 14 percent of the total number of daily commuters. The Guangzhou-Foshan Line is the first intercity metro¹ line in China, with an average daily passenger volume of about 531,000, said Zhang Jian, an official with Guangzhou Metro Group Co Ltd.

广佛线跨市交互量达每天25.5万人次，占广佛两市每天通勤总人数的14%。广州地铁集团负责人张剑称，广佛地铁是中国第一条跨城地铁线路，日均客运量约53.1万人次。

 

While meeting the travel needs of commuters, the intercity subway line also plays an important role in the social and economic integration⁵ of Guangzhou and Foshan, with 18.8 million and 9.6 million permanent residents, respectively.

广州和佛山的常住人口分别为1880万和960万。城际地铁线路在满足广佛地区通勤需求的同时，也在两地社会经济一体化中发挥着重要作用。

 

Both cities are located in the core area of the Pearl River Delta⁶ in Guangdong, featuring close economic ties and cultural similarities. The GDP of the two cities exceeded 4 trillion yuan ($563 billion) in 2021, accounting for more than 32 percent of the entire province.

广州和佛山地处珠三角核心区，经济联系密切、文化同源。2021年，广佛地区生产总值超过4万亿元，占广东省生产总值的32%以上。

 

In August, the two cities jointly⁷ issued a plan to push for further integration during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). It stated that by 2025, the combined GDP of the two cities should reach 5 trillion yuan and the commute time between their downtown areas would be reduced to 30 minutes.

2022年8月，广州市政府和佛山市政府联合印发了《广佛全域同城化“十四五”发展规划》。《规划》提出，到2025年，广佛地区生产总值将达到5万亿元，广佛中心城区半小时通达。

 

The Baiyun Lake Digital Technology City is located in the western part of Guangzhou's Baiyun district, across the river from Nanhai district in Foshan.

白云湖数字科技城位于广州市白云区西部，与佛山市南海区隔江相望。

 

The tech city is dedicated⁸ to fostering the digital economy and propelling the digital transformation⁹ of traditional industries, such as leather goods, cosmetics¹⁰, furniture and equipment production.

白云湖科技城致力于发展数字经济产业，推动皮具、美妆、家具和装备制造等传统产业数字化转型。

 

"Utilizing¹¹ geographical¹² advantages, we will strengthen industrial collaboration¹³ between Guangzhou and Foshan, as well as promote the digital economy's growth and green, low-carbon development," said Zhang Min, deputy director of the service and management center of the Baiyun Lake Digital Technology City.

白云湖数字科技城服务管理中心副主任张敏表示：“白云湖科技城将利用区位优势，加强广佛产业合作，促进数字经济发展和绿色低碳发展。”

 

The industrial clusters have injected vigor¹⁴ into the regional economy, and the business environment has been steadily¹⁵ improving.

产业集群为区域经济注入活力，营商环境不断优化。

 

Guangzhou and Foshan established a mechanism¹⁶ in August 2020 allowing their citizens to access government services in both cities without traveling there.

2020年8月，广州与佛山建立政务服务“跨城通办”工作机制，居民可以直接跨城办理业务。

 

The story of Guangzhou and Foshan has become a new paradigm¹⁷ for China's regional integration drive, said an official with the Guangzhou municipal development and reform commission.

广州市发展和改革委员会的一位官员表示，广佛同城化已成为中国区域发展一体化的新典范。
