Recently, the GDP ranking of cities in the first three quarters of 2021 was released.
Among the top ten, seven cities are in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
The Yangtze River Economic Belt spans the three major regions of China's east, middle and west, and is one of the "three major strategies" implemented by the central government.
Since the "13th Five-Year Plan", 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River and relevant departments have thoroughly implemented the "Outline of the Development Plan for the Yangtze River Economic Belt", and the integrated development of transportation has achieved remarkable results.
By the end of 2020, the operating mileage of railways in 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River reached 45,000 kilometers, an increase of 29% over 2015; the mileage of highways opened to traffic reached 2.346 million kilometers, an increase of 17.2% over 2015.
The Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway and the Shanghai-Chengdu, Shanghai-Chongqing, Shanghai-Kunming, and Hangrui expressways are connected. The high-speed railway reaches more than 70% of the cities and the expressway reaches 95% of the cities at the county level and above.
In terms of waterways, the 12.5m deep water channel below the Yangtze River in Nanjing is fully connected.
The main project of the 6-meter deep waterway from Wuhan to Anqing was completed.
50,000-ton ships can go directly to Nanjing, 5,000-ton ships can go directly to Wuhan, and 3,000-ton ships can go directly to Chongqing.
The construction of a modern comprehensive transportation system has strongly supported the Yangtze River Economic Belt to create a smooth domestic and international double cycle, and promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of 2021, the regional GDP of the 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt was 24.88 trillion yuan, an increase of 14% year-on-year, and the total economic output accounted for 46.9% of the country's total. The leading role in development continues to emerge.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" pointed out that it is necessary to "improve the regional coordinated development system and mechanism."
In the future, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt will integrate the construction of the "One Belt and One Road", the integrated development strategy of the Yangtze River Delta, the construction of a dual-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and promote the in-depth implementation of high-quality development in the central region, so as to better promote the developed and underdeveloped regions , The eastern, central and western regions develop together.
