The Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration is located in the alluvial plain before the Yangtze River enters the sea. According to the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration Development Plan approved by the State Council in May 20 16, the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations include: Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Suzhou, Nantong, Yancheng, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and Taizhou in Jiangsu Province, and Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Shaoxing and Jinhua in Zhejiang Province. There are 26 cities in Anhui Province, including Hefei, Wuhu, Maanshan, Tongling, Anqing, Chuzhou, Chizhou and Xuancheng, with a land area of 2 1. 1.7 million square kilometers, a regional GDP of 20 14 years 12.67 trillion yuan and a total population of/kloc-.

The Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration is an important intersection of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It has an important strategic position in the overall situation of China's national modernization and opening up. It is an important platform for China to participate in international competition, an important engine for economic and social development, the leader of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and one of the regions with good urbanization foundation in China.

The Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration has a vast economic hinterland, modern jianghai ports and airports, a relatively complete expressway network, and the density of bus and rail transit trunk lines leads the country, basically forming a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network.

Development planning of urban agglomeration in Yangtze River Delta

2065438+On May 1 1 May, 2006, the the State Council executive meeting chaired by Li Keqiang pointed out that promoting the coordinated development of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration through reform and innovation is conducive to promoting industrial upgrading, promoting new urbanization with people as the core, accelerating agricultural modernization, radiating the development of the surrounding and central and western regions, and enhancing national competitiveness.

To this end, we must first create a new highland for reform. Copy and promote the mature reform experience of free trade pilot zone and independent innovation demonstration zone, try first in the aspects of government function transformation and institutional mechanism innovation, promote the integration of financial, land and property rights transactions, and carry out cooperation in public services and social undertakings such as education, medical care and social security.

Second, we must strive to be a new leader. Vigorously attract foreign investment, gather international talents, expand the opening up of the service industry, explore the establishment of a free trade port area, promote trade facilitation, and promote the stable development and upgrading of foreign trade.

Third, we should take the lead in developing the new economy. Implement the innovation-driven development strategy, create a good ecology for mass innovation, improve the collaborative innovation mechanism, strengthen innovation in key areas of high-end manufacturing such as equipment manufacturing, information technology, biology, automobiles and new materials, develop modern service industries such as finance, R&D and logistics, cultivate and expand new kinetic energy, and transform and upgrade traditional industries.

Fourth, provide new support for development with ecological protection. Implement ecological construction and restoration projects, deepen cross-regional joint prevention and control of air, soil and water pollution, and establish a cross-regional ecological protection compensation mechanism.

Fifth, we must create a new model of linkage development. Give full play to the role of Shanghai as a central city and promote the development of Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Ningbo and other metropolitan areas in the same city. Build a comprehensive transportation system with railways, expressways and the Yangtze River golden waterway as the main channels to promote the interconnection of information, energy, water conservancy and other infrastructure. By 2030, an urban agglomeration with global influence will be built in an all-round way.

Note: The above is a complete introduction to the policy.
