Xi'an's "North Cross" strategic acceleration: planning 10 large residential areas along the Wei River

Recently, the Xi'an Municipal Government officially issued the "Xi'an "Northern Cross" Development Strategic Plan", which clearly proposed to accelerate the development along the Wei River, plan and build 10 large residential areas, and further promote urban space expansion and industrial upgrading. The advancement of this strategy marks the comprehensive acceleration of Xi'an's development to the north, and the Wei River will become a new engine for future urban development.

1. The strategic background and goals of "Northern Cross"

Xi'an's "Northern Cross" strategy is an important part of Xi'an's "14th Five-Year Plan" and aims to break through the bottleneck of urban development space and optimize the urban functional layout. According to the plan, within the next five years, Xi'an will focus on developing the area north of the Wei River to create a new urban pattern of "one river and two banks". Among them, 10 large residential areas along the Wei River will become core projects, which are expected to accommodate more than 500,000 people.

2. Core advantages of development along the Wei River

The development along the Wei River has multiple advantages:

1.Location Advantages: The Wei River is Xi'an's "mother river" and has convenient transportation along the coast. In the future, multiple subway lines and cross-river bridges will be added to further shorten the commuting time with the main urban area.

2.Ecological Advantages: The plan clearly requires the preservation of coastal wetlands and ecological green spaces, creating a "15-minute ecological life circle" and improving living quality.

3.Industrial support: With the rapid development of industrial zones such as Xi'an International Port Area and Gaoling Equipment Manufacturing Base, residential areas along the Wei River will provide solutions for nearby resettlement of industrial population.

3. Market reaction and future prospects

After the announcement of the "North Cross" strategy, the real estate market responded quickly. According to statistics, the average premium rate of land transactions along the Wei River has reached 12% in the past week, and many leading real estate companies have clearly stated that they will participate in the development of residential areas. Experts predict that housing prices in the region may maintain an average annual increase of 5%-8% in the next three years.

The head of the Xi'an Municipal Development and Reform Commission said: "The 'North Cross' strategy is a key step for Xi'an to move towards a national central city. The development along the Wei River not only solves the housing problems, but also drives industrial upgrading and urban renewal in the entire northern region." With the gradual implementation of the plan, the new urban pattern of Xi'an "one river and two banks" will be accelerated.
