Developing city clusters along Yangtze planned
Print Edition
CHINA yesterday unveiled a plan to develop city clusters along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in a move to create a new economic growth engine and promote new urbanization.
They will mainly consist of urban clusters around Wuhan in Hubei Province, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan city group in Hunan Province and clusters around Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, said the State Council, China’s Cabinet.
The clusters cover a total of 317,000 square kilometers and are a pillar of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
They will also be key areas to implement the “Rise of central China” strategy, deepen reform and opening-up and promote a new type of urbanization, the State Council said in a statement.
Priority will be given to coordinated development between urban and rural areas and connectivity of infrastructure, such as construction of important transportation, water conservation and energy projects, noted the statement.
China put forward its “Rise of central China” strategy in 2004 amid efforts to achieve more balanced development.
The country last year began creating an economic belt along the Yangtze to promote better coordination in industrial development and more efficient allocation of resources among provincial regions traversed by the Yangtze, China’s longest river.
Efforts will be made to make the most of each area’s comparative industrial advantages, build competitive industry clusters, strengthen modern agriculture bases, promote industrial transfer among different areas and speed up industrial upgrades, said the statement.
Priority should also be given to coordinated efforts among regions in environmental protection, educational cooperation, science, technology and medical services, and deepening reform and opening-up, it said.
