The integration of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration is accelerating! The planning of the six major metropolitan areas was released
The Yangtze River Delta is the most economically developed region in China, and the development of its economic integration has opened up new opportunities for the coordinated development of the regional economy.
The construction of the six metropolitan areas is in full swing and will be the driving force for a new round of economic growth. Guided by the "three engines", we will promote the development of the Yangtze River Delta to a higher level and more openness.
The construction of six metropolitan areas is conducive to the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta region and achieves a win-win situation for the regional economy. As the "heart" of China, Shanghai, the Yangtze River Delta, has a population of 1 3 percent of the country's GDP and 1 3 percent of the country's GDP, showing strong competitiveness in the world.
Nanjing and Hangzhou are both sub-central cities in the Yangtze River Delta region, with a good industrial foundation and a lot of room for development. The coordinated development of the six metropolitan areas can not only realize the optimal allocation of resources, but also promote the integrated development of industry, and also enhance the international competitiveness of the Greater Jiangdong Region.
Transportation integration is an important factor in promoting the development of economic integration in the Yangtze River Delta. The integration of transportation can deepen the connection between cities, promote the exchange of logistics, information flow, etc., and promote the integration of regional economy.
The "High-quality Integrated Development Plan for Transportation in the Yangtze River Delta Region" puts forward the concept of "one network, one ticket, one city chain" from a new perspective, aiming to eliminate traffic barriers, optimize travel paths, improve travel efficiency, and promote regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta.
In addition, after several years of development, the average income level between the eastern, central and western provinces has gradually decreased. At the same time, it also provides convenience for the integration of transportation and transportation. As a result of these measures, the per capita income gap in the region has gradually narrowed, laying a good foundation for further regional integration.
According to the latest figures for 2024, the per capita GDP of the Pearl River Delta region continues to grow, and Shanghai's per capita GDP has improved significantly compared to the other five major cities.
Take Nanjing, for example, as a city rich in talent and technological innovation, and its per capita GDP growth rate is remarkable, which is already on par with Shanghai. This shows that the development level of cities and towns in the Yangtze River Delta is gradually developing in a balanced direction, and at the same time, the income of residents in each region is also increasing.
With the advancement of regional economic integration in the Yangtze River Delta, the interconnection between cities in the Yangtze River Delta region has also been further strengthened, the most typical of which is transportation integration.
The transportation network of the Yangtze River Delta is becoming more and more perfect, the high-speed road network between the cities has basically formed a "seamless connection", high-speed rail, aviation and other modes of transportation have been opened, so that the flow of logistics, information between major cities has become smoother, which has played a huge role in promoting the rational allocation of resources within the region and the coordinated development of the industry.
Taking Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou as examples, the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou urban agglomeration has its own unique industrial advantages, and through transportation integration, its advantages can be fully utilized, so as to build a complete industrial chain and value chain.
Such a cooperative development model has not only enhanced the overall economic interests of the Yangtze River Delta, but also increased a large number of jobs and improved people's living conditions.
The development of regional economic integration in the Yangtze River Delta has also shown obvious advantages in attracting talents and attracting foreign investment.
Compared with individual cities, the Yangtze River Delta region has made remarkable achievements in recent years, for example, the income gap between regions has been narrowing, which has laid a good foundation for the future integration process.
First of all, in economics, DRJ integration has been effective. According to the statistics of the 2024 year, the GDP of the Pearl River Delta region has reached 13 trillion, which is almost equivalent to 1 5 of the country.
Economically developed cities like Shanghai have certainly made a big contribution, but others have grown at an equally astonishing rate. Take Hangzhou, for example, its GDP has already exceeded 1With 5 trillion yuan, it ranks fifth in the country and is already the most important innovation and entrepreneurship capital in China.
As the "leader" of the central economy, Hefei's GDP is also rising steadily, and it has now exceeded 12 trillion RMB. This series of data fully shows that the integration of the Yangtze River Delta has promoted the orderly development of the overall economy of the region, and also promoted the continuous improvement of the income level of residents.
With the rapid economic development of the Yangtze River Delta, the transportation infrastructure and ecological environment of the Yangtze River Delta region have been greatly improved. Some data show that the current highway mileage in the Yangtze River Delta region has exceeded 27 km, and the mileage of high-speed railways has exceeded more than 5000 km.
Such an efficient and fast transportation network makes the communication between major metropolises closer, and the logistics are more convenient.
For example, the Yangtze River Delta region's high-speed rail network is constantly improving, so that Shanghai is only a few hours' drive from Hangzhou and Nanjing. This convenient mode of transportation has improved production and life to the greatest extent, and provides a convenient way for collaboration and resource sharing between enterprises.
