Spanning six provinces with a total area of 1.02 million square kilometers, the central region has played an increasingly important role since the central region was proposed in 2004.
In the central region, there are important urban consortia such as the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Zhuzhou-Tan urban agglomeration and the Central Plains urban agglomeration.
Among them, the six major cities of Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Changsha, Taiyuan and Nanchang play an important role, and they will continue to lead the rise of the central region.
As the only megacity in central China, Wuhan has a population of 10.8 million.
Wuhan is not only located on the banks of the Yangtze River, but also excels in terms of integrated hubs.
Its port throughput and container throughput are among the top in the country, which makes Wuhan's position in the central region more prominent.
As the capital of Shanxi, a major energy province, Taiyuan has an urban population of 4.05 million, ranking fifth in central China.
In terms of energy, Taiyuan has unique advantages, which makes it play an important role in the development of the central region.
Changsha is dominated by construction machinery manufacturing, with an urban population of 5.2 million.
Changsha's industrial advantages have made it play an important role in the rise of the central region.
Hefei has been identified as a comprehensive national science center, with a GDP of 1,201.3 billion yuan and an urban population of 6.5 million.
This makes Hefei play an increasingly important role in the development of the central region.
The six major cities in the central region will continue to lead the rise of the central region due to their strong industries and expanding populations.
The development of these cities will have a profound impact on the entire central region and deserves our close attention.
