Regional development strategies for Xining City were proposed as:supported by Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau,eastward development,integrated development of its administrative regions,and overall development of its urban and rural areas.Specifically,① Choosing a development orientation different from Lanzhou City,fully playing its own advantages,forming dual cores of this region;enhancing the industrial division and cooperation with Lhasa,pushing the joint regional development;realizing the integrated development with Haidong area(east of the Qinghai Lake);strengthening its spatial connection with Ge'rmu and Delingha,expanding its economic hinterland.② Integrating tourism development spaces,building the Greater Xining Economic Zone,pushing the construction of new countryside,realizing the integrated development of urban and rural areas.It was proposed that a "control area of urban development" should be established in Xining,its range should be defined and further classified into a double-layer spatial structure:core zone of urban development and peripheral town development zone.Spatial development laws of Xining City were studied,its urban development conditions analyzed,then development strategies of its major urban district proposed,specifically,building a central urban development corridor first,enhancing the cohesive force of Xining City,forming a plate spatial development mode,strengthening the axial combined effects of service functions,improving the energy level of urban development;then building waterfront spaces of "three rivers and six banks".
