这里的“节奏”刚刚好

选择一座城,“合拍”很重要。

这座城,要“热血”,为拼搏奋斗提供挥洒汗水的土壤。

这座城,要“松弛”,让工作之余的生活有风格有品位。

动与静、忙与闲,“恰到好处”的结合才是最舒服的“节奏”。

济南正有这样的节奏——

在城市不断追赶与超越的奋进步伐中,保存有那份悠然自得、充盈自如的慢生活;而在这慢生活的宁静外表下,跃动着一颗永不止步、勇往直前的进取之心。

济南是一个节奏“刚刚好”的城市。

先看济南的城市发展之“快”。

城市面貌的变化给人的感觉最为直观。

近两年,洛杉“济”三件套火爆出圈:汉峪金谷,高楼林立,云鼎大厦、互联网大厦和产业金融大厦众“星”拱月,层层高楼直通云霄。顶天立地显露泉城气势,耸入云鼎俯瞰齐鲁壮美。这里成了济南新地标,被网友戏称“陆家嘴济南分嘴”。看似调侃的背后,更是肯定济南发展的“速度与激情”。

CBD中央商务区,拔地而起的高楼,鳞次栉比。从曾经的厂区、宿舍区到如今的高楼林立,CBD正以令人惊叹的速度“节节向上”,不断刷新天际线。身处其中,会感受到脉脉悠长的文化气息与未来商业文明的融合共鸣,会感受到古老的泉城济南如何在自己的中央商务区中找到前行的动力与自信。

黄河之畔,济南新旧动能转换起步区正崛起成势。获批3年多的时间里,乘着重大国家战略机遇的东风,济南起步区着力加快新旧动能转换,一个个项目落地建设,让这座“未来之城”经历着从无到有的巨变,不断把愿景图转化为实景图,一颗“璀璨明珠”正在黄河之畔升起。

创新是第一动力。

济南的高质量发展离不开创新“活水”浇灌。2023年,全市高新技术企业数量接近7000家,备案国家科技型中小企业超过了8000家,在英国《自然》杂志公布的全球科研城市榜单中,济南位居第32位,较上一年度上升4个位次。

不仅如此,济南综合科技创新水平指数连续5年全省第一;技术合同成交额、基础研究支出、全国重点实验室、省实验室、省级重点实验室、省级技术创新中心等12项重要指标,位居全省第一。

人才是第一资源。

八方来“才”正是如今济南的真实写照。2010年以来,全市常住人口增加了130万人,来济落户或就业的本科及以上学历青年人才超过63万人,全市人才总量突破281万人。

策马扬鞭、蹄疾步稳,如今的济南可谓“行动派”,用实干夯实向前的脚步,不断跑出新的“加速度”。这座城市也化身奋进者的乐园,科研人员能找到高能级平台、技能好手有施展才华的广阔市场、创业青年可以获得一片沃土。

这样的济南,节奏快、空间大、机遇多,正是奋斗的好地方。

奔腾不息的城市发展里,济南有着让人舒适的“慢生活”。

漫步古城历史街区,古街老巷盘根错节,泉池溪流星罗棋布。从曲水亭街随意拐进一个胡同,你会看到门口竹凳上坐着手摇蒲扇的老奶奶,你会听到自行车驶过青石板路的声音,你会闻到街边火烧店里的烟火味道。阡陌小巷深处,没有闹市的车水马龙,入眼是石道、旧宅、老柳、清泉。在时空交错的恍惚中,你会不自觉地放缓脚步,细品人间清欢几许。

济南的“慢生活”不只是在老城区,欣欣向荣、蓬勃发展的东部新城里,同样有让人幸福的工作生活节奏。

前几天,小红书上一名毕业后留济工作的网友发的vlog引发不少人共鸣。她说自己毕业后入职济南一家药企,目前住在单位宿舍,外出使用人才卡乘坐公交地铁,上班就在单位食堂吃饭,周末等节假日就打扮美美地出去下馆子、看电影、逛街,假期去周边城市旅游。目前,包括政府的人才补贴在内,她每月收入9000元左右,工作半年就有了几万元的存款,未来想在济南市硕士购房10万元补贴资金支持下在济南购房定居。她表示,在济南,自己在花钱与攒钱之间找到了一种平衡,这种“人生有目标,生活有希望”的节奏让她感受到生活的意义。

这也反映出,人们选择一座城市的核心出发点已经从过往单一的“有钱赚”发展为“离家近、有钱赚、有生活”。数据也表明,济南正以其“刚刚好”的节奏,吸引越来越多的人选择这座城市。

今年3月,南方周末城市(区域)研究中心推出57城市民引力榜,观察城市“引力”及其“留人”的亲和度,其中济南名列榜首,北京、上海、广州、深圳分别位列第56、第55、第28和第20名。

浓厚的底蕴是济南城市“慢生活”的基础。

“请闭上眼睛想:一个老城,有山有水,全在天底下晒着阳光,暖和安适地睡着,只等春风来把它们唤醒,这是不是个理想的境界?”

老舍先生在《济南的冬天》写下了他对泉城的冬日印象,静谧晴朗的“慢生活”尽在字里行间。

时光流转,在如今的济南,老舍先生所见的“响晴”“有山有水”依然如是。

山之南、水之北,正是泉城济南。

新晋“网红”菠萝山,就在济南的主干道经十路北侧,周边有奥体中心、省博物馆,以及各种商场、产业园和小区,可以说这是一个位于城市繁华地段的小山峰。身处在菠萝山中间,可以看到周边的高楼大厦,但这里大片绿油油的草地,仿佛无形中隔绝了外界的喧嚣与吵闹,有一种入则避世的感觉,充满浪漫,而又使人心旷神怡。

满城山水也沉淀了济南的文化底蕴。

“云雾润蒸华不注,波涛声震大明湖”将泉城的湖光山色勾勒而出;“海右此亭古,济南名士多”则写出人才辈出的城市荣光;鹊华秋色图将当年济南的恬静秋色永久定格……文人的往来,诗画的笔墨都让一座城市的文化气息愈发浓厚起来。

以自然风光和人文情怀打底,这座城市怎会缺少生活的乐趣。

比如,为了让游客近距离体验到济南“诗城词都”的魅力,感受一把对诗的乐趣。五一期间,济南在11个景区,布置了“诗城词都”对诗擂台赛的舞台。欢快的氛围、踊跃报名的游客,每场擂台赛总能引起围观。

再如,济南成丰面粉厂旧址历经百年岁月,如今摇身一变成为1922电竞新媒体产业园,实现了数字经济、潮流文化与历史文化的融合与碰撞。艺术空间、咖啡馆、电竞馆等现代元素的增加赋予老厂房以新活力。一开园就成为不少年轻人的“打卡地”。

由此不难看出,济南这座古老城市很懂年轻人的“心”。

济南的这份“松弛”正让人们可以在忙碌工作的闲暇好好享受生活的美好。

老城区的烟火气,是慢;日新月异的成长速度,是快。快慢之间,感受济南不一样的独特城市气质。

宜快宜慢、张弛有度,人如此,城亦如此。在济南,不必焦虑,自有充实与希望。

In the unceasing pursuit of urban progress and transformation, Jinan preserves a tranquil and contented pace of life, brimming with ease and grace. Beneath this serene facade of slow living, there beats a heart that is ever-advancing and resolute in its forward march.

Jinan boasts a rhythm that is just perfectly attuned.

The city’s metamorphosis is striking, evoking a palpable sense of awe and marvel.

Jinan’s Central Business District (CBD) is a constellation of imposing edifices that exude majesty and confidence. The city’s evolution is profoundly inspiring, transitioning from industrial zones and residential quarters to a skyline defined by soaring skyscrapers. Strolling through the CBD, one can feel the vibrant resonance of a rich cultural heritage merging with the pulsating vitality of a burgeoning commercial hub. Jinan has discovered its stride, poised to interact with the world from the vantage point of its very own CBD.

Beside the Yellow River, the Jinan Start-up Area of Growth and Drivers Transformation is rapidly emerging as a powerhouse. Over the three years since its approval, riding the favorable winds of major national strategic opportunities, the start-up area has been accelerating the transformation between old and new kinetic energies. Project after project is taking root and being constructed, marking the “City of the Future” with a transformation from nothing to something, continually turning the vision into reality. A “dazzling pearl” is rising on the banks of the Yellow River.

The “City of Tomorrow” is undergoing a transformative shift from concept to reality, gradually materializing into a tangible vision. This luminous jewel is ascending on the banks of the Yellow River, symbolizing the dawn of a new era.

“Innovation stands as the paramount force that propels progress.

The robust development of Jinan is intrinsically linked to its innovative spirit. In 2023, the city was home to nearly 7,000 high-tech enterprises, with over 8,000 national science and technology-driven SMEs registered. Jinan’s ascent in the global scientific research city rankings, as published by the esteemed British journal ‘Nature’, saw it claim the 32nd spot, a rise of four positions from the previous year.

Furthermore, Jinan’s comprehensive index of scientific and technological innovation has consistently led the province for five consecutive years. The city has excelled in 12 pivotal metrics, including the transaction volume of technology contracts, expenditure on fundamental research, and the establishment of national and provincial key laboratories, as well as provincial technological innovation centers, all of which have secured the top rank within the province.

Talent is the foremost resource.

The influx of talent from all directions is a true reflection of Jinan today. Since 2010, the city’s permanent population has swelled by 1.3 million, with over 630,000 young professionals possessing at least a bachelor’s degree choosing to make Jinan their home for work, pushing the city’s total talent pool to surpass 2.81 million.

With vigor and determination, Jinan is a city in motion, forging ahead with a steadfast gait and an ever-increasing pace. It has transformed into a haven for the ambitious, where researchers have access to high-caliber platforms, skilled artisans find a vast marketplace to showcase their crafts, and enterprising youths are provided with fertile ground to cultivate their dreams.

Such is Jinan—a city pulsating with rapid rhythms, expansive spaces, and abundant opportunities, making it an ideal place for those who aspire to strive and thrive.

Amidst the ceaseless surge of urban progress, Jinan offers a comforting ‘slow life’ pace. This tranquil rhythm is not confined to the historic districts; even in the flourishing eastern new city, the pace of work and life is equally blissful.

Recently, a vlog by a netizen who chose to stay in Jinan after graduation resonated with many on Xiaohongshu. She shared her experience of joining a pharmaceutical company, living in company-provided dormitories, and utilizing her talent card for public transportation. Her daily routine involves dining in the company cafeteria, and she indulges in the finer things on weekends: dining out, watching movies, and shopping. During holidays, she explores neighboring cities. Supported by the government’s talent subsidies, her monthly income is around 9,000 yuan, and she has managed to save tens of thousands of yuan within six months of work. She aspires to purchase a home in Jinan, with the aid of a 100,000 yuan subsidy for postgraduates. She finds a harmonious balance between spending and saving, and this rhythm of ‘life with purpose, living with hope’ makes her feel profound meaning.

In March of this year, the Southern Weekend City (Regional) Research Center unveiled the Citizen Attraction Index for 57 cities, a study that gauges the ‘gravitational pull’ of a city and its ‘affinity for retention.’ Jinan emerged as the top contender, while Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen were ranked 56th, 55th, 28th, and 20th respectively.

The profound cultural heritage of Jinan forms the bedrock of the city’s tranquil ‘slow life’ ethos.

The Boluo Mountain, a burgeoning local sensation, sits gracefully on the northern flank of Jinan’s bustling Jingshi Road. It is a place brimming with romance and a sense of expansive serenity that invigorates the spirit.

The mountains and waters throughout the city has deeply enriched Jinan’s cultural heritage.

For instance, Jinan staged a ‘Poetry and Verse Dueling Platform’ in 11 scenic spots. The festive ambiance and the eager participation of tourists have consistently drawn throngs of onlookers to each contest.

Furthermore, the historic site of the Jinan Chengfeng Flour Mill has been reborn as the 1922 Esports New Media Industrial Park. This transformation exemplifies the harmonious fusion and dynamic interplay between the digital economy, contemporary trends, and historical legacy. It is evident that Jinan, this ancient city, has a profound understanding of the aspirations and spirit of the younger generation.

Jinan’s embrace of leisure makes its citizens take a reast, allowing them to savor the sweetness of life amidst the hustle of daily toil. A city that thrives in both haste and repose, Jinan embodies a balance that is mirrored in its people. Here, there is no room for anxiety; instead, one finds fulfillment and the promise of hope.
